Taibang khonjel takhidraba

Uchan meirana thaomei oi
Mallaba phisakongi phampakta famlibi

Namu taibang kanabu oirigaba nahakpu?------(Poet)

Taro he matamsigi sheirengba,
ahing matam fajaba mahousa koubigi saktambu yeng,
nungshiba leinamda ngao, ningthibi kanabu sheithage langliba?
Asuk kuiba matamse

Punshi mamei oirakpa

Ahing khuding thongjao pourol chetna lon,
Matam fatte matagum

Nangi khorjei mukna kangdringei
Ahangba chebangna loidringei
Palem sakpi eigi ipao

Charei phimal shetlabi

atei kanasu nattiye—Kanglei pokpi koloineiye.
Ishilhou matamgi ichelse

Meepal tangle leipakse
Meerak tindre kangleicha
Ngasigi nungaibada taoringei,

Khongkap khuding ashiba
Maikei khuding meekapkhol
Tahei-yengheidra pumbase

Eigi magi khairakngei
Anem-awang gi pallonna,
Tamlakpaani ngasigi khudolse .
Ching yaodra tamgi maraibak
Uredo ngasidi sangsangna.
Lamthafamga panthungfamga
Samnadaba wakhalgi lamjing
Thadokwu sheirengba thadok-U
Thamoi seng-u he sheirengba
Meebu ura tinsitpa
Mapao taraa peithokpa
Taibang kananadi haraonii ??

Fakatlu lamaisingdo puwarigi
Parukho-neinarukho chithadana;
Yaoribani mayek sengna,
Fongamdraba paokhomsigi paokhum.
Tahallu taibang pumbada
Leebiyu poireicha khudingmakta.

Nongma nganba meiragi pareng
Chahi chuppa nganloido,
Machu-mamen thalla yaoshang
Punshi chuppagi oiroido.
Kummei masing thiringei
Punshi lambhel kaokhraboi;
Eigi ngasigi nungaibana
Echa-eshu naithang chalhangani
Kaokhraboiko taibangna?? ----(Mother Kangleipak)

Warak chetpa ema-O!

Anam-aha churedo.
Punshi lambel kaothoknakhre

Laiwa heiba kanagi.
Thouna lingjelsu shamkhare
Wakhal lousingsu mangkhare.
Khorjei mukna kangdringei

Takpiyudo emana pambei-lousing kayabu.---(Poet)

Thoiba henba lousingni

Emagi saktambu yenglurao.
Ema machet khanglaga

Ema mapum udrifao

Nangi khari loubukta

Louta heite takpani.
Yetsu-oisu thabana

Leppa kouba wabana

Phamba kouba mahakna

Namai leikhra tungduda

Hainabadum tahou-ido.

Echa mayang kanglingei

Eigi kouba leitringei

Yumdangbana poulonba

Eigi oidabada pongjaba

Puwarina takpido—'mapuna meenai oirakpa yai,
Meenaina mapu oikhiba yai'.
Ngasigi chara leiringei hayengisu khalludo.
Hayeng mabu khangladi hangchit masu kaonudo.
Mityeng shaanbei parado hanna hanna pasido. ----(Mother)

Sakpham kaira emado mitlu pirang ihouna

Pulla langla marakta

Kapliba emabu thawoida
Chenna-chongna sannahouri;
Maikei khangda lamhangda,

Hingba-shiba tannahouri.

Mallaba phisakongi atatpa langjinbu sam
Tumsillaklaba uchan meira mangalda
Sahouri emana anouba khwangchetphi
Magi punshi chengjelna khamdringei.
Tamjari ' s' masak khangjadribana
Khorjei khutta nikna pai
Lanthokchari sheirengse eigi
Mapung fadraba waheina iteng oi
Khorjei mukna kangdringei
Ahangba chebangna loidringei
Emagi tengtha isheise tollaba eigi.
Tabiyuko! Pabiyuko!khangbiyuko! ----(Poet)
