NGAIBANTLANG ṬAP RÂWL

                                    ~Lawrence S. Khawzawl

Tlâng mâwi taka siemin ka um a, Ram ngaw hring nghien nghuonin,

A sûngah ramsa chitin rêng an tlah a, Thing le ruo, hrui le pâr tinrêng,

Phâi le ruom, vadung le fiertui luong, Zo thlifim hrâng hieu hieuvin,

 

Hmasâwnna, chângkângna an tih, Thing le ruohai râwt chimitin,

Khâwl lirthei hmangin, Leihnuoi chovin, Lam an rît, An ver,

Ân hnîng dum dum leihnuoi, Pil le lunghai an sâwi hnîng.

 

Thing le ruohai an tlu, Tuisam pût siemin, Leilung a thla a phâng a,

Thawthei rêng an nei si nawh. Fûrpui a hung ie, Vânpui a chim dum dum,

Khuongruo a sûr ie, Thlipui, ṭêk, kâwl inlep, Tâwp zâi a rêl nawh,

 

A zuol pei, a zuol pei, Pil a chim, mîm keiin, Thing le ruo an tlu,

Vadung a lien ie, Lungpui ân kûi, Lampui a suk siet, In le lo a del,

Zâ ngâi zâ ngâi, Kan la dam ie, Zâ ngâi rawh, Nu le nâu thla a phâng,

 

Pa thlunglu a hai, Bauvah meikhu a suok, Tlâng inhawitak in suk pâwn a,

Thing le ruo insuk cheurêuva, Vadung lung inlâk zova,

Khâwl lirtheiin leilung insuk siet a, Tuihnârhai insuk tan a,

 

Ram zu le va in that zova, Chuleichun ka nah a, ka châu a nih,

Kân rûm a, sukdam ka ngâi a, Ka ṭap tlawk tlawk a, thlêmtu ka zawng a,

Sukdamtu le tuom mâwitu ding ka mamawh a, ka zawng ruoi ruoi a nih,

 

Ngâibântlâng natna sukdam dingin i ke i pên ve naw ding maw?

A sûnga thing le ruo, a lei le lung, vadung le ruomhai hi,

Indin thar ding le siem ṭha dingin ke i pên ve naw ding maw?
