  A love-poem from "Kurunthogai" - the author is known as "sembula-peynnIrAr", after this poem itself.
  
  yAyum yAyum yArAgiyarO
  vendhaiyum nundhaiyum emmuraik-kElir
  yAnu nIyum evvazhi yaridum
  sembulap-peynnIr pOla
  vanbudai nenjan-dAn kalandanavE
  
  A K Ramanujan's translation :
  WHAT HE SAID
  What could my mother be to yours?
  What kin is your father to yours anyway?
  And how did you and I meet ever?
  But in love
  Our hearts have mingled
  like red earth and pouring rain.
  
  I read a newsitem that this poem and translation are displayed in the London
  Metro.
