Dawn dawns daily,hence the ignorant
revel thinking dawn dawns forever;
dawn that dawns daily deducts a dawn
from one’s life doesn’t dawn on them.
வைகலும் வைகல் வரக்கண்டும் அஃதுணரார்
வைகலும் வைகலை வைகுமென் றின்புறுவர்
வைகலும் வைகல்தம் வாழ்நாள்மேல் வைகுதல்
வைகலை வைத்துணரா தார்.
Every dawn indicates a day less in one’s life. Hence do good deeds instead of just reveling.

Procrastination, forgetfulness, laziness and sleep – these four
are vessel willingly boarded by those who court ruin.
நெடுநீர் மறவி மடிதுயில் நான்கும்
கெடுநீரார் காமக் கலன்.

Dear heart, renounce either passion or modesty;
I cannot bear them both.
காமம் விடுவொன்றோ நாண்விடு நன்னெஞ்சே
யானோ பொறேனிவ் விரண்டு
Her passion overwhelms her. Yet her modesty holds her back. She's torn between the two and chides her heart to give up either one of them.
