ಹೂವ ತಳೆದ ಗುಲಾಬಿಯಿಂದ ಮನಕಹುದೇನು? |

ನೋವೊ? ಸಂತಸವೊ? ನೋಡಾಮುಳ್ಳು ಬಾಳ್ಗೆ ||

ಹೂವೆ ದಿವ್ಯಕಿರೀಟವದುವೆ ಕಾಲಕಟಾಕ್ಷ |

ಜೀವನದ ತಿರುಳಷ್ಟೆ - ಮಂಕುತಿಮ್ಮ ||

hoova taLeda gulaabiyinda manakahudEnu? |
novO? santasvO? noDaamuLLu baaLge ||
hUve divyakirITavaduve kaalakaTaaksha |
jIvanada tiruraLaShTe - mankutimma ||

What to the mind, of the flower blossomed plant?
Pain? Happiness? See, to that thorns filled life
The flower is the divine crown, benevolence of time
That's all is the quintessence of life - Mankutimma.
