Aazhi Mazhaik Kannaa Onru Nee Kai Karavael
Aazhi ul Pukku Mugandhu Kodu Aarthu Aeri
Oozhi Mudhalvan Uruvam Pol Mey Karuththup
Paazhiyam Tholudaiya parpanaaban Kaiyil
Aazhi Pol Minni Valamburi Pol Ninru Adhirndhu
Thaazhaadhae Saarngam Udhaiththa Saramazhai Pol
Vaazha Ulaginil Peydhidaay Naangalum
Maargazhi Neeraada Magizhndhaelor Embaavaay

Meaning in English

O Lord, who resembles the dark raincloud (Aazhi Mazhai Kanna!),
do not hold back Your grace!
Enter the great ocean, rise high as clouds,
and shower the world with cool, refreshing rain.
Like the dazzling discus in Lord Vishnu’s hand,
flash with lightning and thunder resound in joy.
Let the arrows of rain pour from Your divine bow Sharanga,
so that all beings may flourish and prosper.
Thus, we too may bathe happily this holy Margazhi month, O Paavai!
