Police mattum ena mattammaa Naanga pokkaththu ponathoru koottammaa
Naan unmaiya sonnaa kastammaa Adha oththukkondaalae yaedhum nashttammaa

Ada om manasum em manasum Kettu kedakkuthu
Ingu panaththa searkka ellorukkum Aasai irukkuthu
Verum pagattu vaazhkkai Padhavikkaaga alaiyum muttaa janangalukku

Police mattum ena mattammaa Naanga pokkaththu ponathoru koottammaa
Naan unmaiya sonnaa kastammaa Adha oththukkondaalae yaedhum nashttammaa

Kozhanthaigala nallaa padikka vaikka venumnnaa
Yaedho onnu vaangi adhukku lanjam kodukkirom
Valarantha pinnae maelae padikka poga venumnnaa
Idam kidaikka college-la panaththa kodukkurom

Padippu mudinju veliya vanthaa velai paarkkanum
Paazhum velai kidaikka naamum something kodukkanum
Velai kidaichchu kalyaanamum panna venumnnaa
Thali kattim pondaattikitta something vaanganum

Sirusulirunthu perusu aagi Kaadu pogi serum varaikkum

Podhu janaththai kaakkurathum naangathaanae

Natta nadu raaththiriyil seththa ponaththa kaakka
Seththavanin sontha pantham irukkumaa
Kasttapattu kann muzhichchu eeya ootti kedakka
Anga irukkurathu engala thavira yaaramma

Rajini vanthaalum angae kamalu vanthaalum
