Manipur - Eternal abode of Imoinu
Chongtham Ongbi Subadani Devi *
Motherland Manipur
Gem of your treasury
Imoinu the name of glory
A chapter in rewind
Khuman Lampak reminds us.
A war crusader
Noble birth in glittering triumphs
Renowned in the Khuman race
Khuman Kwakpa son of the soil
Reigned a life of glory
In the land of Khumans.
Imoinu the wealthy one
You breathed first here
That is the cause of repute
Renowned in this globe
A venue of healthy competition
In the land of Jewels
The pride of motherland
It is the Khuman Lampak.
This is the very place
The eternal abode of mother Imoinu.
With the approach of every year
People celebrate her anniversary
With happy and gay
With new hopes.
Bless mother bless us
For abundance and freedom
Free from all worries
Far from the miseries
Make a land of peace.
