oadividach saanthonru uraikkaik kaelu
நல்நாரி கரந்தையுட வேருங்கூட
nalnaari karanthaiyuda vaerungooda
நன்னாரி வேருடனே முத்தக்காசு
nannaari vaerudanae muththakkaasu
சூலமிலகுங் கஸ்தூரி மஞ்சள் தானும் கூட்டியே
soolamilakung kasthoori manjal thaanum koottiyae
வகைவகைக்கு வராக னைந்து
vakaivakaikku varaaka nainthu
கலகமிலை யரைத்ததனை முகட்டில் பூசக்
kalakamilai yaraiththathanai mukattil poosak
கண்டோடுங் கற்றாழை நாற்றமே
kandoadung katraazhai naatramae
