Nān Ozhindu - Lyrics in English with meaning

Nān Ozhindu Neeyāka Vendum Ayyā
dāntha Thuyyane Vedantha Meyyane
(Let the ‘me and mine’ sense be erased and be merged in You, O Lord!
You are inexpressible and You are the Truth - end (acme)of all scriptures, Truth)

Thānāki Nindrathei Brahmamendru Kooruvar
Brahmamāki Nirpathe Neeyendru Kooruven
(The Self is verily Brahmam, ‘its said,
Brahman is Self)

Mānādum Mayilādum Āttarthirkkalavundu
Manamādum Āttarthirkkalave Illei
There is an end to the dance (movement) of the deer and the peacocks
Lo! There is no end to the movement of the mind!


Alavillā Āttaththāl Akhilaththil Aleikindren
Arumpādu Pattum Ulle Ameithi Illei
With this unending play of mind, I am tossed hither and thither
However much I labour, there is no peace for me.

Amaithiyillā Vāzhvu Adiyenukketharkkāga
Azhiththuvidu Enthan Ānavaththei
Why this desolate life bereft of peace?
I beseech You O Lord, please put an end to this ego.

Ānavam Azhinthālthān Ariyamudiyum Unnei
Andi Vanden Gnāna Ānanda Vallale
Only when this ego is obliterated, can I realize You,  Lord!
I seek Your  refuge in Thee O Knowledge-Bliss incarnate Lord!
