கருமம் செயஒருவன் கைதூவேன் என்னும்
பெருமையின் பீடுடையது இல்.

Perumaiyin Peetutaiyadhu Il

Who says 'I'll do my work, nor slack my hand', His greatness, clothed with dignity supreme, shall stand

There is no higher greatness than that of one saying I will not cease in my effort (to raise my family).
