காதலர் தூதொடு வந்த கனவினுக்கு
யாதுசெய் வேன்கொல் விருந்து.
It came and brought to me, that nightly vision rare,
A message from my love,- what feast shall I prepare?
G.U. Pope, 1886
In today's words: How can I thank the dream that brought me a message from my love?
Open in the appகயலுண்கண் யானிரப்பத் துஞ்சிற் கலந்தார்க்கு
உயலுண்மை சாற்றுவேன் மன்.
If my dark, carp-like eye will close in sleep, as I implore,
The tale of my long-suffering life I'll tell my loved one o'er.
G.U. Pope, 1886
In today's words: If my eyes would only close in sleep, I could tell him everything I've suffered.
Open in the appநனவினால் நல்கா தவரைக் கனவினால்
காண்டலின் உண்டென் உயிர்.
Him, who in waking hour no kindness shows,
In dreams I see; and so my lifetime goes!
G.U. Pope, 1886
In today's words: I stay alive because I see him in my dreams, though he won't come to me awake.

நல்காரை நாடித் தரற்கு.
Some pleasure I enjoy when him who loves not me
In waking hours, the vision searches out and makes me see.

In today's words: Dreams are sweet: there I find the one who never visits me when I'm awake.
Open in the appநனவினால் கண்டதூஉம் ஆங்கே கனவுந்தான்
கண்ட பொழுதே இனிது.
As what I then beheld in waking hour was sweet,
So pleasant dreams in hour of sleep my spirit greet.
G.U. Pope, 1886
In today's words: Seeing him awake was sweet; seeing him now in my dream is just as sweet.
Open in the appநனவென ஒன்றில்லை ஆயின் கனவினால்
காதலர் நீங்கலர் மன்.
And if there were no waking hour, my love
In dreams would never from my side remove.
G.U. Pope, 1886
In today's words: If there were no waking up, the love who visits me in dreams would never leave.
Open in the appநனவினால் நல்காக் கொடியார் கனவினால்
என்எம்மைப் பீழிப் பது.
The cruel one, in waking hour, who all ungracious seems,
Why should he thus torment my soul in nightly dreams?
G.U. Pope, 1886
In today's words: He won't come to me when I'm awake; what right does he have to haunt my dreams?
Open in the appதுஞ்சுங்கால் தோள்மேலர் ஆகி விழிக்குங்கால்
நெஞ்சத்தர் ஆவர் விரைந்து.
And when I sleep he holds my form embraced;
And when I wake to fill my heart makes haste!
G.U. Pope, 1886
In today's words: Asleep, he rests on my shoulder; awake, he rushes back into my heart.
Open in the appநனவினால் நல்காரை நோவர் கனவினால்
காதலர்க் காணா தவர்.
In dreams who ne'er their lover's form perceive,
For those in waking hours who show no love will grieve.
G.U. Pope, 1886
In today's words: Those with no one to dream of blame him for not coming to me awake.
Open in the appநனவினால் நம்நீத்தார் என்பர் கனவினால்
காணார்கொல் இவ்வூ ரவர்.
They say, that he in waking hours has left me lone;
In dreams they surely see him not,- these people of the town;
G.U. Pope, 1886
In today's words: The women here say he has left me; they've never seen him visit me in dreams.
