It Is Better To Stay Hungry! Poem by Dr.V.K. Kanniappan
It Is Better To Stay Hungry!
Simple Flat drum, a percussion instrument,
made of animal skin is better than a Lute
which, if it lacks in producing melodious note;
A chaste woman is better than men
who are not worth of their prowess;
It is better to stay hungry than eating
an improperly cooked and rotten food;
It is better to immolate in fire
than to leave and live separately
from the people who like and love us!
This poem 'It is better to stay hungry! ' is a translation of a Tamil poem from literature 'NaanmaNik katikai'(13)
பறைநன்று பண்ணமையா யாழின் - நிறைநின்ற
பெண்நன்று பீடிலா மாந்தரின் - பண்அழிந்து
ஆர்தலின் நன்று பசித்தல் - பசைந்தாரின்
தீர்தலின் தீப்புகுதல் நன்று. - 13 நான்மணிக் கடிகை
