What Type Of The Things This Girl Belongs To? Poem by Dr.V.K. Kanniappan
What Type Of The Things This Girl Belongs To?
Among the structures like the bowel, flesh, blood, bones,
Continuing with tendon, nerves and skin, muscles and fat
Kept in between, what type of the following things this girl
Who wears the fragrant garland belongs to?
It is not fair to abandon to do virtues by having more desire
And interest on the fleshy appearance of the women!
The quality of femininity is not in the flesh of the body,
The attribute of the beauty is to be looked as one among us!
This poem 'What Type Of The Things This Girl Belongs To? ' is a translation by me of a poem from Tamil literature 'Naalatiyaar'
நேரிசை வெண்பா
குடருங் கொழுவுங் குருதியும் என்பும்
தொடரும் நரம்பொடு தோலும் - இடையிடையே
வைத்த தடியும் வழும்புமாம் மற்றிவற்றுள்
எத்திறத்தாள் ஈர்ங்கோதை யாள்.46
- தூய்தன்மை, நாலடியார்
