Kanavilum kamala khazhalinai thanaye
Kanivudan thudhikka varam arul thaye.

Manamurugi isai malaralai thooviye

Charanam

Vana kuyil inamum, vanambadiyum unadu adi ninaindhe ullam pongiye,
Dinakaran thoondave daiva geethangal Ghana nayamudane ganam pozhivadu pol.

English translation

Pallavi

Please give me boon mother to pray,
Even in my dream your lotus like feet.

Anupallavi

For getting the lofty state of selfless feeling,
Please make me offer you the flowers of music

Charanam

The clan of the koels of the sky and the nightingales ,
Thinking about your feet and with emotions roused,
Similar to the raining of songs, sing the divine music,
Aroused by the Sun God, with expertise in music
