Don't Strain In Futile Effort Searching For More Wealth! Poem by Dr.V.K. Kanniappan

Don't Strain In Futile Effort Searching For More Wealth!



The day of death is in front of you!
The hateful old age is also ahead!

And also follows the disease
that affects the health and dignity!

Hence, while you have sufficient wealth,
don't strain in futile effort too much
searching for more and more wealth!

Don't have too much affinity for the same!
Share the food with every one!
Don't hide anything from one and all!

நேரிசை வெண்பா

முன்னரே சாநாள் முனிதக்க மூப்புள
பின்னரும் பீடழிக்கும் நோயுள: - கொன்னே
பரவன்மின் பற்றன்மின் பாத்துண்மின் யாதுங்
கரவுன்மின் கைத்துண்டாம் போழ்து.92
