குறிப்பறிதல்
Recognition of the Signs
செறாஅச் சிறுசொல்லும் செற்றார்போல் நோக்கும்
உறாஅர்போன்று உற்றார் குறிப்பு.
Seraaach Chirusollum Setraarpol Nokkum / Uraaarpondru Utraar Kurippu
English
Harsh little words; offended looks, Are feigned consenting love-lorn tricks
— The slighting words that anger feign, while eyes their love revealAre signs of those that love, but would their love conceal
Little words that are harsh and looks that are hateful are (but) the expressions of lovers who wish to act like strangers
