If You Do Not Have The Beauty Of The Esteemed Character! Poem by Dr.V.K. Kanniappan

If You Do Not Have The Beauty Of The Esteemed Character!



In spite of all the physical beauty has formed
as one and the same, and even if the beauty
of conforming youthfulness has fallen on you,

if you do not have the beauty of the esteemed character,
what all the beauty that had accumulated in you
will become altered as that of a corpse!

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Hi,
This poem 'if you do not have the beauty of the esteemed character! ' is a translation by me of a Tamil poem from 'Tharuma theepikai' by Poet.Jegaveera Pandiyanar.

நேரிசை வெண்பா
உருவநலன் எல்லாம் ஒருங்கே யமைந்து
பருவ அழகு படினும் - மருவும்
குணத்தழ கின்றேல் குவிந்தவழ கெல்லாம்
பிணத்தழ காகும் பிறழ்ந்து.78

அழகு, தருமதீபிகை, ஜெகவீர பாண்டியனார்
