1 Kathu kathu nilkunne najan
Yeshuve nin nalinai
Nin vanvin bhagyam-orthal anandam’endanandam;-
Lekshyamellam kanunne mal priya manvalane
Ennu mege vannidumo pon mugam najan muthidam
2 Maridatha nin’mozhiyil pathayil njanodiyen
Lakilethi nal’viruthu prapikum jeevandyathil;-
3 Sowrgeeyanmark ipuriyil aasippan endullappa
Sowargeeyamam saubhagyangal
appure najan kanunne;-
4 Rappakal nin vela cheithu jeevane vedinjavar
Rappakalillathe rajye rajarai vanidume;-
5 En priya! nin premamennil eridunne naalku naal
Nee en sowndam najan
nin sowndam mattama’thinilottum
6 Kahalathin nadamente kathilethan kalamai
Minnal pole najan parannu vinnilethi modhikum;-
