Nyayire' -- Sun

Nyayire' ,eeroolai yenna seidhu vittai?,

voittinayaa? kondraayaa? vizhungi vittayaa?

katti mutthamittu nin kadhirgalagia kaighalal,

Maraithu vittaya?

eerul ninaikku pagaiya?

Eerool nin unnavu porulla? --

meaning---

Hey sun ,what did you do with darkness?

Did you chase it?or kill it? or swallow it?

Or did you kiss it and embrace it with beams of shining rays?

And thus hide it?

Is darkness your enemy?

Or is darkness your food?


Adhu nin kadaliya?

irrvellam ninnai kanadhu mayaikkithil,

eerund iruindhada?

Nininai kandavudan ninolli thanungkondu,

Ninnai kalandhu vi ittadha?

meaning--

Or is it your lover?

had it darkened at night ,despondent at your absence?

On seeing you did it absorb your light,

And mingle within you?


Neengal eeruvarum oru thai vayarru khuzhandaigala?

Munnum pinnumag vandhu ulaghaithai kakkum padi,

Ungal thai yevi eeruikkiralla?

Ungallakku maranam illaiya? neengal amudhama?

Nyayir' unnai pughazh kindren!

meaning :

Or are you both children of the same womb?

Did your mother order you to guard this world one after the other?

Are you deathless? Are you the elixir of life?

Sun , I praise thee!

In praise of wind.

"Sirr yerumbhai paar,

yathanai siriyadhu!

adharkulle kai ,kaal, vaai, vayuru yell,

avvaiyangalum kannak kaga vai itthiruikkiradhu."

Look at the tiny ant.

How small it is!

In this tiny frame it has legs, hands, mouth, stomach and all organs in perfect proportions!


"yaar vaithanar?Mahasakthi.

andha uruppugal yellam neraaghave thozhil,

seigindrana."

Who has made all this possible?Mahashakthi.

All those organs work perfectly.

"Yerrumbu unnughiradhu, uranghu kindradhu, manam seidhu,

Kollkindradhu--kuzhandai perughiradhu, vodughiradhu,

Thedhugiradhu. Por seighiradhu. Naadu kaikkiradhu"

The ant eats,sleeps,and marries,

Begets children, runs, searches.Wages wars.Andprotects its territory!

"idharikku yellam kaatru dhaan aadhaaram,

Mahashakthi kaatrai kondu dhan ,

ooir vilayaittu vilayadukindral,

Kaatrai padughinrom. "


All this is possible only due to air.

Mahashakthi plays the game of life through air!

Praise be to thee air.

"Akkudhu arivileh thunivagha nirpadhu:

ullathil viruippu, veruippu gal avadhu,

ooirile ooir thanaga nirpadhu,

velliulaghaithile adhan seighai naam arivom,

naam arivadhilai.

Kaarru devan vazhga! "


It is the courage in intelligence,

It is the desire and aversions within one,

It is the life within life,

Its actions are known as well as unknown in the outside world,

Long live ,The god of wind.

Sendradhu meeladhu....The past cannot be regained.

sendradhu eeni meeladhu moodare! neer,

yappodhum sendradhaiye sindhai seidhu,

kondrazhikum kavalaiyenum khuzhi il veezhindhu,

kummaiyadheer;sendradhanai kurrithal vendam.


That which is past cannot be regained now fools!

By for ever ruminating over the past ,

You will only fall in the bottom less pit of worry and languish there,

Do not pine over the past.


'Inndru pudhidhai pirandhom' yendru neevir,

yennamadhai thinnamura eesaithukondu,

thindru aadi paadi innburrirundhu vaazhveer,

theemai yellam azhindu pom, thirumbi vara!


Strenghen yourself by thinking,

'Today I am a new born'

Wine ,dine , dance and make merry,

All evil will be destroyed .They will not return.
