Bharathiar in Translation - I KNOW MY DUTY

                                        I KNOW MY DUTY

                    I will not abide
                    By the stale old story
                    "Those who do the duty
                     will sure stay happy"
                     I know no DUTY
                     Nor any trade.
                     What you call 'bind'
                     I may state ' break'
                    Hence I do forsake
                    The very thought of DUTY
                    Along with stupidity,
                     meanness and falsehood
                    sorrow, pain and such no-goods,
                    and,
                             I shall LIVE happily for ever.
