Representative Text

1 மரணம் கண்டு அஞ்சோமே,
ஆண்டவர் எம்முடன்,
ஆழ்ந்த இருள் சூழ்ந்திடினும்,
அச்சத்திற்கிடம் கொடோம்.

2 என் ஆஸ்தி யாவும் வீணென்றே,
அவர் தம் சொல் கேட்டே,
ஓடியே சேர்வேன் அழைத்திட்டால்,
மோசேபோல் நானுமே.

3 பைசாகின் மேலே சென்றே நான்,
கானானைக்காணவே,
ஏதும் என்னை ஈர்க்காதே,
என் சாவு திவ்யமே.

4 என் தந்தை மார்பில் நானுமே,
மூச்சை நான் மறந்தேன்,
கேளிக்கை வாழ்வை தீர்த்தேனே,
மா தூய மரணத்தால்.ஆமேன்
