Kural 1086

கொடும்புருவம் கோடா மறைப்பின் நடுங்கஞர்
செய்யல மன்இவள் கண்.

Kotumpuruvam Kotaa Maraippin Natungagnar
Seyyala Manival Kan

If cruel eye-brow's bow, Unbent, would veil those glances now; The shafts that wound this trembling heart Her eyes no more would dart

Meaning

Her eyes will cause (me) no trembling sorrow, if they are properly hidden by her cruel arched eyebrows.

Plain English meaning from the 19th-century prose translation by W. H. Drew and John Lazarus. The verse above is G. U. Pope's translation (1886).
