The Persons Who Are Going To Die Will Carry Those Who Are Dead! Poem by Dr.V.K. Kanniappan
The Persons Who Are Going To Die Will Carry Those Who Are Dead!
The persons who beat the drum will go and beat it
Once at the house of a person who died!
After stopping for a while, they will beat it
Again as an informal of death to known people!
Before they beat the drum for the third time, the persons
Who are going to die will cover the corpse with cloth,
Get up and carry those who are dead while the son taking
The fire pot in his hand, all proceeds to the cremation ground!
You see whether this state of affair is good and fair!
You understand that this physical body does not exist for ever!
This poem 'The persons who are going to die will carry those who are dead! ' is a translation by me of a poem from Tamil literature 'Naalatiyaar'
மு'க்'காலை, செ'த்'தாரை - வல்லின எதுகையமைந்த நேரிசை வெண்பா
சென்றே எறிப ஒருகால்; சிறுவரை
நின்றே எறிப பறையினை - நன்றேகாண்
முக்காலைக் கொட்டினுள் மூடித்தீக் கொண்டெழுவர்
செத்தாரைச் சாவார் சுமந்து.24
யாக்கை நிலையாமை, நாலடியார்
