Kural 1310

ஊடல் உணங்க விடுவாரோடு என்நெஞ்சம்
கூடுவேம் என்பது அவா.

Ootal Unanga Vituvaarotu Ennenjam
Kootuvem Enpadhu Avaa

Of her who leaves me thus in variance languishing, To think within my heart with love is fond desire

Meaning

It is nothing but strong desire that makes her mind unite with me who can leave her to her own dislike.

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).
