lies stories of traders, their journeys replete.
, a name of the seas,
Born from the waves, carried by the breeze.
From distant lands with ships they came,
Building bonds, not seeking fame.
With sails unfurled, they brought their wares,
And with them, a culture that deeply cares.
, the younger brother’s call,
A name that unites, embracing all.
A word of love, of kinship deep,
A bond of trust that we must keep.
These names are threads in a fabric tight,
Woven with warmth, not with spite.
Symbols of journeys, of ties that bind,
Echoes of history, of hearts aligned.
No shame, no scorn, in these words dwell,
But stories of courage the seas do tell.
Marakkalaya, the voyager bold,
Thambiya, the brother, with values of gold.
So when these names reach your ears,
Hear them with pride, not with fears.
For they speak of legacy, of roots profound,
Of harmony and respect, where love is found.
Let not these words be burdened by pain,
But symbols of unity that still remain.
A tribute to those who shaped this land,
With wisdom, toil, and a helping hand.
Embrace the beauty these names contain,
For in them, the spirit of peace will reign.
A bridge between cultures, a bond so true,
A shared history that forever renews.
In Marakkalaya’s waves and Thambiya’s tone,
We find a heritage that’s proudly our own.
May these names inspire, may they unite,
A beacon of hope, a guiding light.
