Ahing nongyai athengbani
Delhi Sahar gi lairembi
Mitlaobi naton tumbidu tumkhre.

Mirak narak yengaga eina enthurui
Wanglaba sanglaba laipot taraba
Qutub Minar bu.

Pudaba yade makhalle imphal youna
Mitta urammi Shamu Makhongda Qutub Minar mana yungduna leiba
Maduna shamu makhong-gi leifam mayeksengna tak-kani

Indira Gandhi airport ta chatlui Qutub Minar kokthong naduna
Adubu yabirakte leisu leiramde
Qutub Minar bu thangnaba plane ama

Namthiraba Amangbana thallaba railway station dasu chatlui
Madusu chingba ngamloi hairak-e guwahati faoba.
Jalpaiguri faobadi yagani tak-lak e.

Avadh assam kouba train du da ei tonglak le
Santhi khunba train ni mayamna hainabadu chumna thokle
Chatli lengam sangamdana mabuk kangbi lin-gum meikhu wa wa karaduna

Bihar yourakpada fana kuina khammi
Kumtharaga cha glass ama thak e
Lalu gi leikhomna saba cup ta, fana haowi

Kalen gi meisha na kahat laba loumi singna Nong mabu ngaihouwi
Mayang haiba leite Meitei haiba leite loumi di loumi ni
Adum pang wa wajabani ngaijabi nong
Nong gi mathang poinu
Poinu gi mathang lousan chaba singi khonthi.

Yourare ei jalpaiguri da
Meitei nongsha sak tak lage mata gum
Qutub Minar kokthong naraduna ei khongsallak-e

Chaoraba Brahmaputra gi epak pu lalli
Khut nammana eroi nammana Qutub minar bu chingi
Ethanta Hanuman ni khanjakhi

Suklaba assam gi umangda tarak e Cha thabi singi esei
nungshi tabada, Awaba singi esei chap manei
Awabadi mafam na khaide masak na khaide
Lon khangdrabasu thamoi asi da yeirak e
Kohima da amuk ngeihak pothai
Ok thongba chara ama charaga amuk lak e
Chatli thekna khoina chinglak sida
turel macha machana chenbagum

Miyamna yeng nei eibu Qutub Minar bu
Highway 39 da tax pibam thokpa pirammi
Amanadi hairakhi "Asidi Karira asuk chaobadi sangbadi"
Eina khummi "karisu natte, fou-sunaba suk-ni
Suba tanba macha mayam thaknaba Meitei ema na Bilat tagi chenbani"

Houjik ti yourakle Akhang kanbi Meitei leima emagi matambakta
Sekmai bazaar da ei thungle

Ngeihak angaoba mahi ga oinari ngei
Miyam na eibu kalak na yengnari nge
Khanghoude car amuba amadagi kumtharak –e Chief Minister na

Hairei efamda
"Nupa nangna touribasi karino
Manmohan da ei kari haina khumgani
Delhi da sarkar kaigadoure,
Opposition na hairi
Manmohan-na Qutub Minar bu Obama da khudol pikhre
Statue Of Liberty na turak pa ngak naba"

Eina amuk khummi
"Honorable Minister Saheb ,
Manmohan da tambikho
AFSPA louthoklaba matamda Louraba yagani Qutub Minar
Natrabadi ei gi toubam thokpa adum toujage
Fanek setchinbiraga Shamu Makhongda yunge khanjari
Ei khoi ema na awathabi pambibu mahei pande haiduna fanek setpibadagi palli.
Amuk ta yenge Qutub Minar Sisu fanek setpiraga
Fanabu pakchagani wang-chaoradana.

Aduga makhoina Qutub Minar loukhiba matamda
Leikhidraba leikhidrabisingi mingdubudi
Eina mayek lana haklaga pikhini"
