Kural 1189

பசக்கமன் பட்டாங்கென் மேனி நயப்பித்தார்
நன்னிலையர் ஆவர் எனின்.

Pasakkaman Pattaangen Meni Nayappiththaar
Nannilaiyar Aavar Enin

Well let my frame, as now, be sicklied o'er with pain, If he who won my heart's consent, in good estate remain

Meaning

If he is clear of guilt who has conciliated me (to his departure) let my body suffer its due and turn sallow.

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).
