Azhak Konta Ellaam Azhappom / Izhappinum Pirpayakkum Narpaa Lavai
English
Gains from weeping, weeping go Though lost, from good deeds blessings flow
— What's gained through tears with tears shall go;From loss good deeds entail harvests of blessings grow
All that has been obtained with tears (to the victim) will depart with tears (to himself); but what has been by fair means; though with loss at first, will afterwards yield fruit
