Humari Apni Kahani
Boboi Pukhrambam *
Aao Bacho, Sune, Sunaye,
Humari Tumhari kahani;
Jiske har shabd pe likhi hai
Hum sab ke apni zabaani.
Meetei the hum, Meetei hai hum,
Hum hai do hazaar saal purani.
Itihaas ke panno pe likhi hain
Humari yahin kahani.
Saat varsh ke AVA Yudh pe
Bichhar gaye the hum sab.
Kadam se kadam milane ka
Wo Waqt agaya hai abb.
Goliyon ke bouchharo k beech
Nache the humare Thang-Taa,
Jiske himmat par hairaan huye
Prithvi mein rehne waale zanta.
Har museebat ko saamna karne,
Humare auraton ne uthaya mashaal.
Humare issi Maa Baheno ne
NUPI LAAN mein kiya dhamaal.
Hai dum hamare aksharon mein,
Usse naa karo taqraar.
Dosau varsh pehle badli gayi thi,
Isse naa karon inkaar.
Aao Bachho, sune, sunaye
Ye sab humare Mata Pita ko;
Jo apna astitva he bhool baithe
Aur dubo rahen hai humare apno ko.
AZAADI AZAADI AZAADI
