Meiphung

Āvāna meithalung shomkai,

Āvana mei majonsang.

Shimkhur ngashim khavai ‘pam,

machithat kapai kathuka chān shok.

Ningkha sākhui chinaongarā.

Meina ngurngur chuikā,

thingna yummamān, meikhut ngapui

kazat harshāng eina theiphok.

Phei kārda makhui ungzang khangai

khalum meiphungli.

Chotchir tantak khaung,

ungkathei kachot malai ngasak.

I-haonaobingwui vāng ‘tam kaji

lummeikap kaji ‘pam ngasai.

Khipā khana mangakarthuingai.

Shakei eina tangda mayāmngai

mikumona kasham hāda.

Pheipang katingda ngasām kakhui

theishap āthumwui ningyāng khaung.

Ngarin ningkhalum.
