துஞ்சினார் செத்தாரின் வேறல்லர் எஞ்ஞான்றும்
நஞ்சுண்பார் கள்ளுண் பவர்.
Thunjinaar Seththaarin Verallar Egngnaandrum / Nanjunpaar Kallun Pavar
English
They take poison who take toddy And doze ev'n like a dead body
— Sleepers are as the dead, no otherwise they seem;Who drink intoxicating draughts, they poison quaff, we deem
They that sleep resemble the deed; (likewise) they that drink are no other than poison-eaters
