This is one of his famous Poem

පනස් තුන ඉරක් දාහතයිපහළොව එළවන
නන්දසේනගෙ ගැහෙන වමතින්
වැටුණි දවසේ පළමු ගියරය
ගොරගොර හඬත් දීගෙන
ඩිපෝවෙන් එළියට ආ බස් එක
ඇරඹුවා කඳු ශිඛර තරණය

දකුණු පස කණ්නාඩි පලුවෙන්
පාර විමසූ වරක් ගානේ
පෙරෙයිදා තුන් මාසෙ දන දුන්
බිරිඳ පමණයි ඔහුට පෙනුණේ

"තාත්තාගේ බස් එක"
කඩදාසියක ඇඳඇඳ
ඉදිරිපස කණ්නාඩි පතුලෙන්
පුංචි පුතුමයි නිතර එබුණේ

නලා හඬ රැව් දී නැගෙද්දිත්
වරින් වර බෙල් එක වදිද්දිත්
ඒ කිසිත් නොව නන්දසේනට
බිරිඳගේ හඬ පමණි ඇසුණේ

"ඉස්සරහ වංගුවක කන්දේ
පස් කඩන් වැටිලාලු නන්දේ
ළඟට ආවම මං කියන්නම්
ඔයා එළවන් යන්න නන්දේ

රෑට මොනවද කෑවෙ නන්දේ
පුතා මොනවද ඊයෙ ඇන්දේ
කොණ්ඩෙ තනියෙන් ගොතා ගන්නට
දූට දැන් පුළුවන්ද නන්දේ

කඳුළු පිරි කඳු වළලු මැද්දේ
අර පෙනෙන බෑවුමේ ලන්දේ
සිනාසෙන්නට තවම පුළුවන්
එක තැනක් තියෙනවා නන්දේ


ඇහෙනවද ඒ සිනා සද්දේ............!
