-
Like Karikalan’s leg, your ankle is dark
-
No ankle, no ankle
it's the shadow of the Taj Mahal
-
Like it’s carried with a rooster, your lips are red
-
No lips, no lips
it's a painted metal plate
-
Hey, like a cotton flower, your feet are delicate
-
No feet, no feet
it’s steamed white rice
-
Hey, like a valampuri conch, your neck shines
-
No neck, no neck
it’s a line from Kannadasan
-
Like Karikalan’s leg, your ankle is dark
-
No ankle, no ankle
it's the shadow of the Taj Mahal
-
Like it’s carried with a rooster, your lips are red
-
Hey, no lips, no lips
it’s a painted metal plate
-
Hey, like a milk curve, your nose is shaped
-
No nose, no nose
it’s a cashew nut cake
-
Like a balloon blown and left,
your cheeks puff up
-
No cheeks, no cheeks
they’re silver, silver bowls
-
With henna designs, your body bewilders
-
No body, no body
it’s a fire-struck cloud
-
In a marriage canopy, hidden is a grove
-
No grove, no grove
it’s a Jallikattu bull
-
Like Karikalan’s leg, your ankle is dark
-
No ankle, no ankle
it's the shadow of the Taj Mahal
-
Like it’s carried with a rooster, your lips are red
-
No lips, no lips
it’s a painted metal plate
-
Just a glance cuts like a sharp knife
your eyes
-
No eyes, no eyes
it’s a glaring genie
-
Like ten firecrackers lit, your teeth sparkle
-
No teeth, no teeth
they’re polished diamond stones
-
Like a compressed pouch, your waist is slim
-
No waist, no waist
it's Indra’s creation
-
A beauty spot on your cheek
hints a stare from the eye
-
No mole, no mole
it’s the leftover you left behind
-
Like Karikalan’s leg, your ankle is dark
-
No ankle, no ankle
it's the shadow of the Taj Mahal
-
Like it’s carried with a rooster, your lips are red
-
No lips, no lips
it’s a painted metal plate
-
Hey, like a cotton flower, your feet are delicate
-
No feet, no feet
it’s steamed white rice
-
Hey, like a valampuri conch, your neck shines
-
No neck, no neck
it’s a line from Kannadasan
