The day has dawned
thanks to my penance.
The damned dark moments
have all disappeared.
Spreading its rousing
fresh golden rays,
it’s risen with splendor:
the wisdom, the sun.
- part of a poem by Bharathi, translated by me and posted on Facebook.
Here is a wonderful rendition of the song by Bombay Jayashree (Pozhudu pularndadhu).
