Kural 1126

கண்ணுள்ளின் போகார் இமைப்பின் பருகுவரா
நுண்ணியர்எம் காத லவர்.

Kannullin Pokaar Imaippin Parukuvaraa
Nunniyarem Kaadha Lavar

My loved one's subtle form departs not from my eyes; I wink them not, lest I should pain him where he lies

Meaning

My lover would not depart from mine eyes; even if I wink, he would not suffer (from pain); he is so ethereal.

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).
