Penmayum azhagum ondra?

Kadhal mayakkam inithidave,
Vidindha vanam parthu nindraye,
Kan-emai padapadakka,
Katrai kaikul pidithu vaitheye,
Azhagu…!

Nilavai pidithu nirkum megathile,
Kadalai volithuvaikum alaighalile,
Bhumi mutham idum mazhaithuli ellam,
Serthu vaithu rasithu nindraye,
Azhagu…!

Sila neram malarpol sirithu,
Maru nodi kannam sivakka kovam kanbithu
,Kanner mel kadhal pol azhudhu,
Matroru nodi vudhadai kuvithu muthamitaye,
Azhagu….!

Vanavillai parthu bramithu silirthaye,
Pichai ketkum kuzhandai ondrai allli anaithaye,
Varumai kandu kalangi nindraye,
Jhadi-madam ellam thucham endraye
Azhagu…!

Thaiyaga ne dhinam ennai petredukirai,
Dhasiyagi degam samarpikirai,
Kuzhandaiyagi adam seygirai,
Natpin padam pala karpikirai,
Manaivi agi ennai manidhanakinai!
Azhagu…!

Azhugin porul penmaya?
Penmaiyin vilakam azhaga?
Anmagan thalai kunindhu nirkidren,
Penmai endri naam manudan avadhepadi?!
