Lamentations at Eventide
பனிஅரும்பிப் பைதல்கொள் மாலை துனிஅரும்பித்
துன்பம் வளர வரும்.
Paniarumpip Paidhalkol Maalai Thuniarumpith / Thunpam Valara Varum
English
Wet eve came pale and trembling then Now it makes bold with growing pain
— With buds of chilly dew wan evening's shade enclose;My anguish buds space and all my sorrow grows
The evening that (once) came in with trembling and dimness (now) brings me an aversion for life and increasing sorrow
