The People Who Live With The Nobility Of Offering Charity! Poem by Dr.V.K. Kanniappan

The People Who Live With The Nobility Of Offering Charity!



The people who live with the nobility of offering charity
And liked by multitude persons who approach them with hope
Are comparable and on par with the ever yielding female
Palmyra tree with a raised dais for the surrounding people
To get the fruit easily as and when they need!

The idiotic people who do not offer to others and eat by themselves,
Inspite of their fatty wealth, are at par with the unyielding
Male Palmyra tree standing in the midst of burial ground!

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Hi,
This poem 'The people who live with the nobility of offering charity! ' is a translation by me of a poem from Tamil literature 'Naaladiyaar'

இன்னிசை வெண்பா

நடுவூருள் வேதிகை சுற்றுக்கோட் புக்க
படுபனை யன்னர் பலர்நச்ச வாழ்வார்;
குடிகொழுத்தக் கண்ணுங் கொடுத்துண்ணா மாக்கள்
இடுகாட்டுள் ஏற்றைப் பனை.96

- ஈகை, நாலடியார்
