அருளில்லார்க்கு அவ்வுலகம் இல்லை பொருளில்லார்க்கு
இவ்வுலகம் இல்லாகி யாங்கு.

Ivvulakam Illaaki Yaangu

As to impoverished men this present world is not; The 'graceless' in you world have neither part nor lot

Meaning

As this world is not for those who are without wealth, so that world is not for those who are without kindness.
