Kural 1130

உவந்துறைவர் உள்ளத்துள் என்றும் இகந்துறைவர்
ஏதிலர் என்னும் இவ் வூர்.

Uvandhuraivar Ullaththul Endrum Ikandhuraivar
Edhilar Ennum Iv Voor

Rejoicing in my very soul he ever lies;'Her love estranged is gone far off!' the village cries

Meaning

My lover dwells in my heart with perpetual delight; but the town says he is unloving and (therefore) dwells afar.

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).
