Kural 1046
நல்குரவு
Poverty
நற்பொருள் நன்குணர்ந்து சொல்லினும் நல்கூர்ந்தார்
சொற்பொருள் சோர்வு படும்.
Narporul Nankunarndhu Sollinum Nalkoorndhaar / Sorporul Sorvu Patum
English
The poor men's words are thrown away Though from heart good things they say
— Though deepest sense, well understood, the poor man's words convey,Their sense from memory of mankind will fade away
The words of the poor are profitless, though they may be sound in thought and clear in expression
