என் அன்பர் என் கண்ணை விட்டுப் போகமாட்டிடார்; ஒருவேளை நான் அறியாமல் இமைத்தால் வருந்தவும் மாட்டார். பிறர் அறிய முடியாத நுட்பத் தன்மையர் அவர்.

காதலர், கண்ணுக்குள்ளிருந்து எங்கும் போக மாட்டார்; கண்ணை மூடி இமைத்தாலும் வருந்த மாட்டார்; காரணம், அவர் அவ்வளவு நுட்பமானவர்

எம் காதலர் எம் கண்ணுள்ளிருந்து போக மாட்டார், கண்ணை மூடி இமைத்தாலும் அதனால் வருந்த மாட்டார், அவர் அவ்வளவு நுட்பமானவர்.

My lover would not depart from mine eyes; even if I wink, he would not suffer (from pain); he is so ethereal

This couplet or Kural 1126, belongs to the chapter of "Impressions of Love", where the poetess expresses the intensity and depth of her love towards her beloved. The verse metaphorically depicts how inseparable and profound her love is. In the first line, "My lover would not depart from mine eyes", the poetess symbolically describes the constant presence of her beloved in her vision. No matter where she looks or what she does, she always sees him, indicating his deep-rooted place in her heart and mind. The second line, "even if I wink, he would not suffer (from pain)", further enhances this sentiment. The act of blinking or winking usually suggests a temporary interruption in sight. However, in her case, even this minor action does not affect the continuous vision of her beloved, as he is so engraved in her thoughts. In the final part of the verse, "he is so ethereal", the beloved is referred to as being ethereal, meaning that he is not just a physical entity, but an essential part of her being, her consciousness, existing beyond the physical realm. It emphasizes the spiritual and transcendent nature of their love. Overall, this couplet beautifully portrays the profound love and deep connection between the poetess and her beloved, where the beloved is not just a person, but a constant, ethereal presence that transcends the physical world. It emphasizes that true love is not just about physical proximity but about a deeper, spiritual connection.
