നിലാവവലിഞ്ഞ രാത്രിയിൽ<br />
കനവിൽ പൂത്തെരു കൗതുകം<br />

…<br />
കുളിർകാറ്ററിഞ്ഞു മിഴിപൂട്ടവെ<br />
മഴനാര് വീണു മൃദുമാറിലാദൃമായ്<br />

…<br />
വഴതെറ്റി വന്നെരതിഥിയോ<br />
നിലാവിൽ തുളുമ്പിയ പാൽതുള്ളിയോ<br />

കുരുവികൾ കൂട്ടിലൊളിച്ചപോലെ<br />
വഴിതേടിവന്നവൻ ചുഴിയിലൊളിച്ചു<br />

…<br />
ആവർത്തനം കൊണ്ട് ഞാൻനനഞ്ഞു<br />
ആലിപ്പഴംപോലെ ഞാനലിഞ്ഞു.<br />

== Sanskrit meters ==<br />
<br />
[[Sanskrit prosody|Sanskrit meters]] are primarily based on trisyllabic feet. The short sound is called a '''laghu''', a long sound is called a '''guru'''. A guru is twice as long as a laghu. A guru is usually represented by a '-–' and a laghu by a '⌣'.<br />
<br />
For easy specification of meters, the laghu's and guru's are grouped into feet (called '''ganam''') as follows:<br />
{| class="wikitable"<br />
|-<br />
! foot<br />
! name<br />
! identifying letter<br />
|-<br />
| ⌣ - -<br />
| yaganam<br />
| ya (യ)<br />
|-<br />
| - ⌣ -<br />
| raganam<br />
| ra (ര)<br />
|-<br />
| - - ⌣<br />
| thaganam<br />
| tha (ത)<br />
|-<br />
| - ⌣ ⌣<br />
| bhaganam<br />
| bha (ഭ)<br />
|- <br />
| ⌣ - ⌣<br />
| jaganam<br />
| ja (ജ)<br />
|-<br />
| ⌣ ⌣ -<br />
| saganam<br />
| sa (സ)<br />
|-<br />
| - - -<br />
| maganam<br />
| ma (മ)<br />
|-<br />
| ⌣ ⌣ ⌣<br />
| naganam<br />
| na (ന)<br />
|}<br />
<br />
Additionally, individual gurus are also identified by 'ga' or 'gam' and laghus by 'la' or 'lam'.<br />
<br />
For example, the definition for the meter 'Kalyani' is 'three thaganam + two gurus' indicating "- - ⌣ - - ⌣ - - ⌣ - -".<br />
