Andha kadha neeyum kaettaa Um manasu thaangaadhu

Puliyambatti graamathula Pozhudhu pona naerathula
Vella vaetti koottam onnu Virundhu kaettadhammaa
Puliyambatti graamathula Pozhudhu pona naerathula

Virundhu vechavala Adhu virundhu vechadhammaa

Annaikku vazhakka paathu puttaa Innaikku kanakka theetthu puttaa
Kannukku kan ennum pallukku pal ennum Kannagi gunatha kaatti puttaa

Vaembukku thanni vittaa Adhu veyilukku nalladhammaa
