Vayalar Sharathchandra Varma describes the beloved as a ‘fiery Kanthari’, comparing her eyes to bowls brimming with milk. The poet mentions dewdrops on her eyelashes and the sound of her anklets, creating a vivid image of her presence. The artist sings, ‘You’re like Rasam that’s transformed into sweet Payasam,’ capturing the blend of spice and sweetness in love.

Kanthari Kanthari Kochu SundariYou fiery ‘Kanthari’ [spicy girl], you fiery ‘Kanthari’, you little beauty.
Kannano Chelane Ninte PunjiriYour smile is so gorgeous and full of grace.
Paal Niranja Kinnam Nin Kannu RandilumBoth of your eyes are like bowls brimming with milk.
Angigaayi Neenthunne Randu MunthiriTwo ‘grapes’ are swimming playfully within them.
Kettu Thotto Nilkkano IshttamothiriI’m longing to hold you close; I’ve got so much love for you.
Thottu Vennal Pichgum Novum OthiriIf I try to touch you, you’ll pinch me, and it’ll sting quite a bit.
Novum Engilum Neeyanen UllileEven if it hurts, you’re the only one who lives in my heart.
Rasmullaru Maari Puthu Paayasa MaariYou’re like ‘Rasam’ [spicy soup] that’s transformed into sweet ‘Payasam’ [pudding].
Kanpeeli Thumbathe Manju ThulliyilWithin the dewdrop at the edge of your eyelashes,
Kaalathe Ninnee Nin Pon Veyil KaniYour golden morning glow is the first sight I cherish.
Pullennum Thinneedum Kozhi MethamelUpon the roof where the chickens peck at the grass,
Kaathoram Kettu Nin Paatha KinganiI heard the chime of your anklets ringing in my ear.
Nee Pinajaal Ingal KoodumenIf you turn away in anger, my distress will only deepen,
Ullam Paari Neerunna PolAnd it feels like my heart is burning and fluttering away.
Nee Injaaal Vingal MaarumenWhen you’re with me, my heavy heart finally lightens,
Ullam Peeli Choodunna PolAnd it feels like my soul is adorned with a peacock ‘Peeli’ [feather].
