Hougatlo Thengle!
Khwairakpam Gajananda *
Nongpok maikei ngankhare.
Nongchup maikei ninkhare.
Awang maikei saktakle.
Makha maikei noklakle.
Hougatlo thengle ereibakchasa!
Punshina panthung youdringei.
Thawaina meekon naringei.
Pangalna sarep faringei.
Thangatlo thangol, pukhatlo potlum.
Hougatlo thengle ereibakchasa!
Sagatlo manglangi fura.
Mangfao nahanlo waakhalgi mame.
Puraklo awonba taibangi.
Nganhanlo manige maangal.
Hougatlo thengle ereibakchasa!
Awabana potlum pudringei.
Ashana mami samdringei.
Waakhalna tungkhul tandringei.
Lepkhatlo nongdol thengna, yengkhatlo atiya pakna.
Hougatlo thengle ereibakchasa!
Panngakpiro ereibakpu lingjen leina.
Chenkhatlo chokthaba leitana.
Chatlasi panthung younaba.
Utlasi ngasidi ereibakchasa, eikhoigi thouna taibangda.
Hougatlo thengle ereibakchasa!
Hougatlo thengle ereibakchasa!
