KA KAWTTHLER

Ar’si mal tla kan kawtthlera tawngin,
Ka tuolzawla chamin umhmun khuor.
A det ta ie a bu khuor, ka lawmna,
Lungngai hmelah lawmna an tlun.

Phaivuo hrangin a ngirna sukhning,
Tiudup chunga rem lo niin,
A chim tah, inngir nawk lo din,
Hlo hring dup tieng a mit an len ta ie.

Hril loin umhmun sawn di’n an siem,
Khaweng mawi min hmutirtu, a liemtah.
A tawi ngei ie maw ka lawmna,
Cham sawng di’n an mawi si nawh.

Ka nun khawtthlera hung invak lutin,
Sawt dai lo hlimna mi pein,
Hnung ngai loin a liemtah;
Lawmna bek maksan pek ni lang.

Simthli hrang del delna panin,
Kan vankhuo a maksan;
“Hung kir el raw ie” ti’n ka ko,
Kir zai reng a rel si nawh.
