Kural 1283

பேணாது பெட்பவே செய்யினும் கொண்கனைக்
காணா தமையல கண்.

Penaadhu Petpave Seyyinum Konkanaik
Kaanaa Thamaiyala Kan

Although his will his only law, he lightly value me, My heart knows no repose unless my lord I see

Meaning

Though my eyes disregard me and do what is pleasing to my husband, still will they not be satisfied unless they see him.

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).
