Could not get the related font. However, selected song #8 at random, and tried to make out the lyrics.

GIVEN LYRICS :-

(8)
pallavi
guru ka¶¡kÀaÆ peruv°Æ naÆ
karuttai varuttuÆ kaluÀama¼av® (guru)

aºupallavi
varuttuÆ jaºaºa mara¸a pi¸ikku
maruttuvaº¡Æ m¡v¢ra r¡ghava (guru)

cara¸aÆ
vaºtuyar t¢rav® k¡ttu naÆ
cintai naraharip¡l ¿®rttu
tandaiyuÆ t¡yum¡y p¡rttu diºaÆ
sundaraÆ pa¸indi•uÆ patiyeºav® ¡rttu
(guru)

(kaly¡¸i - r£pakaÆ)


DECIPHERED !

குரு கடாக்ஷம் பெறுவோம் நாம்
கருத்தை வருத்தும் கலுஷம் அறவே (குரு)

அநுபல்லவி :
வருத்தும் ஜனன மரண பிணிக்கு
மருத்துவனாம் மாவீர ராகவ (குரு)

சரணம் :
வெந்துயர் தீரவே காத்து நம்
சிந்தை நரஹரிபால் சேர்த்து
தந்தையும் தாயுமாய் பார்த்து தினம்
சுந்தரம் பணிந்திடும் பதியெனவே ஆர்த்து (குரு)

(கல்யாணி – ரூபகம்)

The file was bugging me and I was determined to find a solution and I did it by looking at familiar words and replacing each symbol with a Roman character (using the Search & Replace option) and eventually all the lyrics made sense.
