Ponnum tenum

pŏnnuṁ tenuṁ nī viḽambi
anna naḍana śrī tuḽumbi
nīla kaṇmayil pīligaḽāḍi
puñjiriyāl pālkkāvaḍiyāḍi
(pŏnnuṁ tenuṁ)

prathama rātri tan
pramada śayyayil
praṇaya saroja pūvidaḽāyi
madhumadī nī vidumbi viḍarnnu
madhura tenin sugandhamaḍarnnu
ñānāṁ vanabhṛṁgamadil nīrāḍi
(pŏnnuṁ tenuṁ)

rajada rajanidan naḍana vediyil
salana bhaṁgidan mātṛkayāyi
niṟa nilavāṁ narttagi vannu
ninṟĕ puñjiri kaṇḍu tariccu
ñānāṁ niḻal adu kaṇḍu rasiccu
(pŏnnuṁ tenuṁ)
