Kural 1091

இருநோக்கு இவளுண்கண் உள்ளது ஒருநோக்கு
நோய்நோக்கொன் றந்நோய் மருந்து.

Noinokkon Rannoi Marundhu

A double witchery have glances of her liquid eye; One glance is glance that brings me pain; the other heals again

Meaning

There are two looks in the dyed eyes of this (fair one); one causes pain, and the other is the cure thereof.

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).
