Kural 1297

நாணும் மறந்தேன் அவர்மறக் கல்லாஎன்
மாணா மடநெஞ்சிற் பட்டு.

Maanaa Matanenjir Pattu

Fall'n 'neath the sway of this ignoble foolish heart, Which will not him forget, I have forgotten shame

Meaning

I have even forgotten my modesty, having been caught in my foolish mind which is not dignified enough to forget 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).
