Kanubomma kopam

కనుపాపలకేనా కలలు?
కనుబొమ్మ కన్నెర్రజేసింది
మనిషి నిద్ర చెడగొట్టింది

Kanupaapalakena kalalu?
Kanubomma kannerrajesindhi
Manishi nidhra chedagottindhi

The difference

Ask, if you know what you seek,

But read, if you know not what to seek.

Speak, if you want to be heard,

But teach, if you wish to spread your word.

Stand tall, if you want to see far,

But climb up a hill, you will be seen from afar.

Rest, so that you may dream,

But rise, to shine some light on your dream.
