Kural 1125

உள்ளுவன் மன்யான் மறப்பின் மறப்பறியேன்
ஒள்ளமர்க் கண்ணாள் குணம்.

Ulluvan Manyaan Marappin Marappariyen
Ollamark Kannaal Kunam

I might recall, if I could once forget; but from my heartHer charms fade not, whose eyes gleam like the warrior's dart

Meaning

If I had forgotten her who has bright battling eyes, I would have remembered (thee); but I never forget her (Thus says he to her maid).

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).
