Troublesome companion

Original Poem in Tamil by Avvaiyar (12th Century AD)
ஒரு நாள் உணவை , ஒழிஎன்றல் ஒழியாய்
இரு நாளைக்கு ஏலென்றால் ஏலாய்
ஒரு நாளும் என்நோய் அறியாய்
இடும்பைகூர் என்வயிறே
உன்னோடு வாழ்தல் அரிது


One days's food, you cant forgo
Nor would you accept in one lot food for two days
Even for a single moment, you don't understand my pains!
O stomach of mine,
It is indeed an arduous task to live with you!



True... makes sense. a troublesome companion it is
