Prelude
– The tranquil song "Parayath Mozhikal Than " has captivated my mind for a long
time . I came across this song in Doordarshan Chitrahar on Fridays when I was in
9th standard . I was totally glued to the tune but never realized
the literary prowess of ONV Kurup until I was in my mid - twenties . The song
delves into the beauty of unspoken love.
Parayath
mozhikal than azathil mungi poyi
Parayuvan
ashichath ellam
Ninnodu parayuvan ashichath ellam
What I wished to tell you drowned as unspoken words in the deep ocean of my heart .
Oru kuri polum ninakkai matramai our pattu padan nee chonathilla
You
never asked me even once to sing a song for you
Parayam
njan bhadre , nee kelkkuvan ellathe our vari polum njan padiyilla
Oh , auspicious one ! I have never sung a line of a song for anyone other than
you to listen to .
Thaliradi mullet nonthapole
malarpuduva
thumbu engo thadanjapole
Veruthe
veruthe nadikathen arikil ninnu
mohichuru
mozhi kelkkan nee kathu ninnu
You
stood as if your foot, as soft as a budding leaf , was pricked by thorns.You stood as if the
tip of your flowery brocade saree was snagged somewhere .You stood beside me without pretension, waiting for me to say the
words you desired .
Thudu thudu viriyumen chembaneer pushpamen
Hridayamanu
athu nee eduthu poyi
Tharalamam
mozhikalal viriyath snehathin
Porulukal
nee athil vayichuvo
The rose that reddened and bloomed is my heart , which you have captured . Did you read the meaning of my unbloomed love in my quivering words ?
Postlude
– The line of this poem that bewitched my mind is the usage of the word “
bhadre “ for the lover used by ONV Kurup . I have spent endless nights thinking
about how he could come up with that word for the lover , which is so poetic as
well as serene.
