நனவில் வந்து அன்பு செய்யாத காதலரைக் கனவில் காண்பதால்தான் என்னுடைய உயிர் இன்னும் நீங்காமல் உள்ளதாகின்றது.

நனவில் வந்து அன்பு காட்டாதவரைக் கனவிலாவது காண்பதால்தான் இன்னும் என்னுயிர் நிலைத்திருக்கிறது

நனவில் வந்து அன்பு செய்யாத காதலரைக் கனவில் காண்பதால்தான் என்னுடைய உயிர் இன்னும் நீங்காமல் உள்ளதாகின்றது.

My life lasts because in my dream I behold him who does not favour me in my waking hours
