If The Expenditure Is More Than What You Earn! Poem by Dr.V.K. Kanniappan

If The Expenditure Is More Than What You Earn!



If the expenditure is more than what you earn as income,
You lose your respect and spoil your sense;

Taken for granted as a thief wherever the directions you go,
As a bad fellow in all the seven births,

You will be considered as a harmful fellow
Even by the honest people!

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Hi,
This poem 'If The Expenditure Is More Than What You Earn' is a translation by me of a Tamil poem from Nalvazhi by Ancient Poet.Avvaiyar.

இருவிகற்ப நேரிசை வெண்பா

ஆன முதலில் அதிகம் செலவானால்
மானம் அழிந்து மதிகெட்டு - போனதிசை
எல்லார்க்கும் கள்ளனாய், ஏழ்பிறப்பும் தீயனாய்
நல்லார்க்கும் பொல்லனாம் நாடு.25 - நல்வழி, ஒளவையார்
