விருந்தோம்பல்

மோப்பக் குழையும் அனிச்சம் முகந்திரிந்து
நோக்கக் குநழ்யும் விருந்து.
Moppak Kuzhaiyum Anichcham Mukandhirindhu / Nokkak Kuzhaiyum Virundhu
English
Anicham smelt withers: like that A wry-faced look withers the guest
— The flower of 'Anicha' withers away, If you do but its fragrance inhale;If the face of the host cold welcome convey, The guest's heart within him will fail
As the Anicham flower fades in smelling, so fades the guest when the face is turned away
