IN SEARCH OF A READER

Hiakthangnu bahiak,
Bathuk amnu chongkaang.
Buktanu mu dan
Mikhat nale theimak le
Mong lamzwe kanikhat.
Kasanu bwan nukra
Sasu nonge ning mak.
Hiakthangnu chounglaa
Hiakthangnu bahiak
Ngaak e pathangnu,
Ngaak e pa thanglang.
Nisat sabi naosen nilim bi karo nudan
Thamlai thingpho sabi basa karo nudan
Khatle khwakaangbi khwasun nudan.
Pathango nu hiak,
Raithango pa meiri.
Intun makle inswan,
Inswan makle tipni.
Anikum makle kumthang.
Pathango heiba hiak;
Phangthango heiba chounglaa.
Choungzik sanu ame rin mak e.
Kanunglangle rin basaam thang mak e.
Pathang zalang za lamphaange
Chouk tamdingo tamphoi meimaan nudan.
Pathango pahiak,
Raithango nu meiri.


Balumsat

Bani rinne nang ringnu;
Nang zana kaithangne
Mikna mumaknu tambaan.
Noh lei phun ngaakle kokthangne bakeh bi talutabi.
Balumsat nang tambaan le talei barui bazem.
Kaithango mina rinnu,
Rintangam mak e nuriak cho.
Loh sak mak sui hung naye tambaan nai hungo.
Lat thango  rithoi inkhaan
Khop maknu  alaangle.
Phaangta thango taraanga se ongnu kathah;
Pithanglat o pangkan kathan.
Balumsat, o nang ringriak lampui.
Riangre lak ka hung naye
Kadou thango kathah.

"They say you are life
You only lead to the place where eyes cannot see.
the debt of sin will be forgiven at his feet.
Faith you are the highway to heaven".

Zingpha Sanu

Thamlai lumik tadarwe
Khwazin le zingpha mun bi
Khumpui khumbeng na bani kapaangla towe.
Lumik baan sa ongbi abaan rwan  kriangnu le
Bachamlu karo lanlanu
Zingpha aria baloi dingbi
Bani ding baningsuga losia ye.
Aniya zingpha mang man mak balei
Kakhan ne intia sabo batak nu kum.
Manglama sanu kumding
Thougoi maknu
Ni’ kapangnu misa.
Zingpha inkhaansa latka phaangswak,
Sambaan la insi raching
Baan chan chan ongme.
Kriang nge bakaan sanu.
Kazingnu takanlu inswan
Louthwan khwabaan amme baning mak e.

Zingpha sambaan la phaangga karo ye
Takhao takit khwansanu le
Zingpha tapon ne.

Tha le insina hei talei baanchang thang
Khwadweinu hungle
Aniya lumik,

Thathit ngakle
Aniya tha than ding baning ga
Ei be karo ongdam rwe.
