Fate

Aakuuzhal thondrum asaivinmai kaiporul
Pokuuzhal thondrum madi

Perseverance pays good fate
Idleness shows gate

Pethai padukkum Izhauuzh arivagatrum
Agaluuzh utra kadai

Ill-fate brings ignorance sure
Well destiny pure

Nunniya noolpala karpinum matrumthan
Unmai arivae migum

Let him be learned
Yet what earned!

Iruveru ulagathu iyarkai thiruveru
Thelliar athalum veru

Knowledge possessor differs fatally
Wealth amassed totally

Nallavai ella antheeyavam theeyavum
Nallavam selvam seyarku

Fate decides wealth sought
Accordingly so got

Pariyinum aagavam palalla uyithu
Soriyinum poga thama

Destined yours will click
Not so bleak

Vaguthan vaguthavai allal kodi
Thoguthar kuithal arithu

Out of millions earned
Destined only turned

Thurapparman thuppura villar uratpala
Ootta kazhiyu menin

Turned renouncer fate hates
To pay rates

Nandrangal nallava kanbavar andramgal
Allat paduvathu evan

Good fortune brings smile
Other driven mile?

Uuzhi peruvali yavula matrondru
Chuzhinun dhan mundhurum

Faster than fate thought
Sooner ills wrought
