Friendship With The Persons Comparable With A Far Away Irrigating Channel! Poem by Dr.V.K. Kanniappan

Friendship With The Persons Comparable With A Far Away Irrigating Channel!



Even though certain people
..are staying very close to us
As comparable to the very closely formed
..tiny toes of the dogs,
What is the use of their friendship
..when they are not helpful
At least to the smallest level
..to the size of the leg of a fly!

It is appreciable to have friendship
..with the persons
Even though they are far away
..since they are very useful to us;
As if even though the water coming from
..far away through a channel
Helps to flourish the fields
..and crops to a great extent!

Hi,
This poem 'Friendship with the persons comparable with a far away irrigating channel! ' is a translation by me of a poem from Tamil literature 'Naalatiyaar'

ஒருவிகற்ப இன்னிசை வெண்பா

நாய்க்காற் சிறுவிரல்போல் நன்கணிய ராயினும்
ஈய்க்கால் துணையும் உதவாதார் நட்பென்னாம்?
சேய்த்தானுஞ் சென்று கொளல்வேண்டும், செய்விளைக்கும்
வாய்க்கா லனையார் தொடர்பு.218 நாலடியார்
