அவள் குணத்தை எண்ணி என் கண்கள் இரவெல்லாம் உறங்குவதில்லை. அதனால் நள்ளிரவிலும்கூட மடல் ஊர்வது பறிறயே எண்ணுவேன்.

காதலிக்காக என் கண்கள் உறங்காமல் தவிக்கின்றன; எனவே மடலூர்தலைப் பற்றி நள்ளிரவிலும் நான் உறுதியாக எண்ணிக் கொண்டிருக்கிறேன்

மடலூர்தலைப் பற்றி நள்ளிரவிலும் உறுதியாக நினைக்கின்றேன், காதலியின் பிரிவின் காரணமாக என் கண்கள் உறங்காமல் இருக்கின்றன.

Mine eyes will not close in sleep on your mistress's account; even at midnight will I think of mounting the palmyra horse

The Thiru Kural verse 1136 speaks about the profound intensity of love and longing. The speaker expresses how the affection for their beloved is so strong that it keeps them awake at night. The phrase "mounting the palmyra horse" is a metaphor that refers to a traditional Tamil practice where a lover would boldly ride a palmyra horse (made of palm leaves) to his beloved's house as a proclamation of his love, even in the midnight hour. The verse encapsulates the state of sleepless nights due to the separation from the beloved and the continuous contemplation of proclaiming his love fearlessly. The speaker's eyes refuse to close in sleep, indicating the depth of yearning and the incessant thoughts of the loved one. There is an intense determination to take a bold step to express the love, as indicated by the thought of "mounting the palmyra horse" even at midnight. This verse emphasizes the power of love and its ability to dominate one's thoughts and actions. It also symbolizes the courage that love instills in a person, making them ready to take bold steps and face any challenges that come their way.
