POETRY - IV

Mangṭha, mangṭha, ka ropuinate u,
Chu chu hringmi dinhmun dik tak a ni;
Beiseina hnah duah chawr no takte chu,
Rei lote chhûng bak an duah ngai loh hi!

Nipui chu thlasikin a zui thuai a,
Vawt chuan a zung nen lam tiṭawih zovin;
An ropui vanglaina pâr ang a thliaha,
An zung nen lam a ei chhiat ṭhin ang hian!

Ka thinlung chu zai thler sak huau ang maiin,
Ropuina chuai thei leh bumna tinreng;
Duhsak dernate chuan an tai thler ṭhin,
Indona hmuna thihna thla zâr ang!

Chumi dawtah Lucifera anga,
Tlakchhiat hlenna lo thleng ta ang kha!
