Thirukkural – 1266
My husband will come back one day; when he does,
I’ll relish him and get rid of this miserable sickness.
வருகமன் கொண்கன் ஒருநாள் பருகுவன்
பைதல்நோய் எல்லாம் கெட.
Her husband has been away for long and she is wasting away, pining for him. She says to herself, “One day or the other he will come back. And when he does, I’ll relish and savor his intimacy completely and get rid of this love sickness afflicting me”
கொண்கன் – Husband
பருகுவன் – will consume / relish
பைதல் – sorrowful / miserable
