Arun Bharathi writes about the physical and emotional struggles of motherhood. One line says, ‘You gave me sanctuary deep in your womb,’ capturing the deep connection between mother and child. The poet mentions the umbilical cord and sleepless nights to highlight the selflessness of a mother’s love.
Adi Vayitril Idam KoduthuYou gave me sanctuary deep in your womb.
Kannukkul KathavaleYou guarded me as safely as your own eyes.
Naan Rusiyai SapidaveJust so I could taste the best food,
Dhinam Pasiyinil PaduthavaleYou went to bed hungry every night.
Thoppul Kodi ValiyeThrough that umbilical cord,
Un Uyirai Kudithen Naan AmmaI drained your very life, Mother.
Naan Thaan JeyithidaveJust to ensure that I succeeded,
Anudhinamum Thotrai NeeyammaYou accepted defeat every single day, Mom.
Kurudhiyinai Kuduthavale ThayeYou’re the mother who gave her own blood.
Amma AluvugirenMother, I’m weeping.
Naan Amma AluvugirenI’m crying out to you, Mom.
Amma AluvugirenMother, I’m weeping.
Naan Amma KatharugirenI’m screaming in agony, Mother.
Panikudam UdainthuWhen the amniotic sac burst,
Naan VarugaiyileAnd I made my entry into the world,
Kadum ValiyilumDespite that searing pain,
Siru Punnagai PurinthaiYou offered a small, gentle smile.
Unviral PidithuHolding your finger tight,
Naan NadakaiyileWhen I started to walk,
Kal EdaraveIf my foot even stumbled,
Nenjam Padhariye ThudithaiYour heart pounded in panic.
Oorum Palai RaththamakiTransforming your blood into milk,
Koduthu Vittu PovaiYou gave it all to me.
Sagum Bothum PillaikagaEven at death’s door, for your child,
Nenjam VaduvaiYour heart would still worry.
Ada Andradam KondadaTo celebrate every single day,
Nam Vanthu MandradaFor us to come and plead our case,
Thayin Padham IrukkuMother’s feet are right here.
