Had Not My Mother Been The Youngster Girl Those Days? Poem by Dr.V.K. Kanniappan
Had Not My Mother Been The Youngster Girl Those Days?
O' my maiden friend who has long broad shoulders
with glittering eyes like the curved sword!
Had not my mother - who says not to see
the Pandya king with my eyes, Maran
who wears the garland that had loosened,
who has the army that won the battle with kings
of other adjacent countries and fetched their land,
and he who has the spear with manly winning fire,
- been the youngster girl those days
and crossed to this stage of old age?
This poem 'Had not my mother been the youngster girl those days? ' is a translation by me of a poem from Tamil literature 'MuththoLLaayiram'
நேரிசை வெண்பா
வளையவாய் நீண்டதோள் வாட்கணாய்! அன்னை
இளையளாய் மூத்திலள் கொல்லோ - தளையவிழ்தார்
மண்கொண்ட தானை மறங்கனல்வேல் மாறனைக்
கண்கொண்டு நோக்கல்என் பாள்.54 முத்தொள்ளாயிரம்
