The Body That Loses Its Strength Bids Adieu! Poem by Dr.V.K. Kanniappan

The Body That Loses Its Strength Bids Adieu!



O' husband! You asked to me to be here;
And also said you are going away to earn wealth;

In that case, remember what stays here is only my body!
My waning heart and my life comes along with you!

The body that loses its strength too gets lost and bids adieu!
You are responsible for such loss I can say!

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Hi,
This poem 'The body that loses its strength bids adieu! ' is a translation by me of a Tamil poem of Poet Mayuram Vedhanayakam Pillai.

பொருள் தேடப் போகும் கணவனுடன் போகும் நெஞ்சுயிர்

கலி விருத்தம்

இங்கிரு பொருள்வயி னேகுவே னென்றீர்
தங்குவ துடலொன்றே தளர்நெஞ் சோடுயிர்
அங்குறு நாசமே யபல மெய்யிதன்
பங்கதாம் அழிவுநும் பங்க தாகுமே.20

- மாயூரம் வேதநாயகம் பிள்ளை
