வாராக்கால் துஞ்சா வரின்துஞ்சா ஆயிடை
ஆரஞர் உற்றன கண்.

Vaaraakkaal Thunjaa Varindhunjaa Aayitai
Aaragnar Utrana Kan

When he comes not, all slumber flies; no sleep when he is there; Thus every way my eyes have troubles hard to bear

Meaning

When he is away they do not sleep; when he is present they do not sleep; in either case, mine eyes endure unbearable agony.

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).
