Kural 1216

நனவென ஒன்றில்லை ஆயின் கனவினால்
காதலர் நீங்கலர் மன்.

Nanavena Ondrillai Aayin Kanavinaal
Kaadhalar Neengalar Man

And if there were no waking hour, my loveIn dreams would never from my side remove

Meaning

Were there no such thing as wakefulness, my beloved (who visited me) in my dream would not depart from me.

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).
