Ninaye rathiyenru ninakirendi kannamma
Ninaye rathiyenru ninakirenadi

Ponnaye nigartha meni ninaye nigartha sayar
Ponnaye nigartha meni ninaye nigartha sayar
pinnaye nithya kanniye kannamma

Ninaye rathiyenru ninakirendi kannamma

Ninnaiye Rathi Endru

This is my composition of one of the songs in Thirupugazh (Tamil திருப்புகழ் tiruppukazh "Holy Praise" or "Divine Glory") which is a 15th-century anthology of Tamil songs dedicated to Murugan, the son of Shiva, written by the poet-saint Arunagirinathar. I have set it in raag bhupali/Mohanam - to bring that pentatonic Tibetan aura of Mount Kailash.

சின்னஞ்சிறுகிளியே, கண்ணம்மா 
செல்வக் களஞ்சியமே! (சின்னஞ்சிறு)
என்னைக்  கலிதீர்த்தே உலகில் 
ஏற்றம் புரிய வந்தாய்! (சின்னஞ்சிறு) 

பிள்ளைக்கனியமுதே, -கண்ணம்மா!
பேசும் பொற்சித்திரமே! 
அள்ளியணைத்திடவே-என்முன்னே    
ஆடிவருந்  தேனே (சின்னஞ்சிறு)

ஓடி வருகையிலே- கண்ணம்மா!  
உள்ளம் குளிருதடீ; 
ஆடித்திரிதல்  கண்டால் உன்னைப்போய் 
ஆவி தவிழுதடி 

உச்சிதனை முகந்தால்  - கருவம் 
ஓங்கி வளருதடி 
மெச்சி யுனை யூரார்- புகழ்ந்தால் 
மேனி சிலிர்க்குதடீ.

கன்னத்தில் முத்தமிட்டால்-உள்ளந்தான் 
 கள்வெறி கொள்ளுதடீ 
உன்னை தழுவிடிலோ- கண்ணம்மா
 உன்மத்த மாகுதடீ. 

உன் கண்ணில் நீர்வழிந்தால்- என்நெஞ்சில் 
 உத்திரங்  கொட்டுதடி; 
என் கண்ணில்  பாவையன்றோ? கண்ணம்மா 
என்னுயிர்  நின்னதன்றோ! 
என் உயிர் நின்னதன்றோ! 
என் உயிர் நின்னதன்றோ!

Chinnanchiru Kiliye by Subramanya Bharathi

मैत्रीं भजत अखिलहृज्जेत्रीम्
आत्मवदेव परानपि पश्यत
युद्धं त्यजत स्पर्धां त्यजत
त्यजत परेषु अक्रममाक्रमणम्
जननी पृथिवी कामदुघास्ते
जनको देवः सकलदयालुः
दाम्यत दत्त दयध्वं जनताः
श्रेयो भूयात् सकलजनानाम्।

Lyrics: Subramanya Bharathi

1.Yaadhumagi nindrai Kali ,
Yengum nee nirainthai
Theethu nanmayellam Kali,
Deiva leelai  yandro
 
2.Bhoothamainthum aanai Kali ,
Porigal anaithum aanai,
Bodhamagi nindari Kali,
Poriyai vinji nindari
 
3.Inbamagi vittai Kali,
Yen ulle pugundhai,
Pinbu ninnai yallal Kali,
Pirithu naanum undo

Yaadhumagi Nindrai Kali

koī kahiyo re prabhu āwan kī
āwan kī mana bhāvana kī

āp na āye, likh nahīń bheje,
bān paḍī lalacāvana kī
ye dou nainā, kahā nahīń māne
nadiyā bahe jaise sāvana kī

kā karūń kachu nahīń basa mero
pańkh nahīń uḍ jāwana ke
mīrā kahe prabhu, kaba re miloge
ceri bhayī hūń tere dāman kī

Translation:

(Refrain) Oh! Someone said that Lord Hari was coming. On His coming, my mind is filled with bhava.

1) But You didn’t come. You didn’t send me a letter. I became obsessed with you. These two eyes do not want to obey the fact. These eyes are flowing tears, just like the river is flowing in rain.

2) What should I do? I have no control on my end. I don’t have wings that I could fly to You. Mira says “O Lord! Where will we meet?” My entire persona is offered unto You.

Next in the series of Beauty of Ragas, is the raga Bahudari. I am basically a fan of folk music and flute and folk always go well together. Hence I added a folky twist to this piece.

Beauty of Ragas

Beauty of Bahudari

My first instrumental composition in this genre. I have always been an ardent fan of the Music Maestro llayaraja who has given me immense joy though his musical compositions and impeccable arrangements. I dedicate this composition 'Moonrays' to the Maestro.
