Kural 1260

நிணந்தீயில் இட்டன்ன நெஞ்சினார்க்கு உண்டோ
புணர்ந்தூடி நிற்பேம் எனல்.

Ninandheeyil Ittanna Nenjinaarkku Unto
Punarndhooti Nirpem Enal

'We 'll stand aloof and then embrace': is this for them to say, Whose hearts are as the fat that in the blaze dissolves away

Meaning

Is it possible for those whose hearts melt like fat in the fire to say they can feign a strong dislike and remain so?

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).
