Ishtu kaala ottigiddu...

- H.S. Venkateshmurthy

ishTu kAla oTTigiddu eshTu beretaru
aritevEnu naavu namma antarALava ? ||

kaDala mEle sAvirAru maili sAgiyU
neerinALa tiLiyitEnu hAyi dONige ?

sadAkAla tabbuvante mEle bAgiyU
maNNa muttu dorakitEnu neeli bAnige ?

sAvirAru mukhada cheluva hiDidu tOriyU
ondAdaru uLiyitE kannaDiya pAlige ?
