Kural 1179
கண் விதுப்பழிதல்
Eyes consumed with Grief
வாராக்கால் துஞ்சா வரின்துஞ்சா ஆயிடை
ஆரஞர் உற்றன கண்.
Vaaraakkaal Thunjaa Varindhunjaa Aayitai / Aaragnar Utrana Kan
English
He comes; no sleep; he goes; no sleep This is the fate of eyes that weep
— When he comes not, all slumber flies; no sleep when he is there;Thus every way my eyes have troubles hard to bear
When he is away they do not sleep; when he is present they do not sleep; in either case, mine eyes endure unbearable agony
