"Mother will hug you, her heart filled with joy"

Mallikai-Jasmine
By Kuzhanthai Kavignar Azha. Valliyappa

Pearl-like Jasmine
Shows all beauty
Always dancing daily
on the heads of lass

Wherever hidden
find it easily
spreading fresh scent
saying am here

Pleasing the eyes
Its scent mixes with wind
while on women's head
making them proud

Wear it on our heads
we aren't fortunate
wonder the men in angst
with the jasmine flower - Translated by Earakan
