Rojave Tamil PesuOh rose, speak in Tamil.
Chediyil Pootha NatchathirameYou’re a star that bloomed on a plant,
Sirippil Ezhuthiya Sithiramea portrait sketched with a smile.
Chinnanjiru Kalam ThanYour time here is so very brief,
Nee Vazhvathu Analthe life you live, and yet,
Katril Oru Peru Vazhvuin the wind, a great existence,
Nee Eluthi Povadhuis the legacy you leave behind.

Vinmeen Pothuma single star is enough.

Malar Ondru Pothuma single flower is enough.

Perum Porul Illaiholds a great value.
