Leibak macha

/ /
Hourasira yahou houjikpu, sendrang makhon yen makhon
kayaga loinana anouba numit amuk yakaire, adubu keidouruni
Leibak Macha eihakna asuk nganna hougatlaga; hougatkadabagi
saruk manglan kharaga sagatkhige; chariba, thakliba, kappiba,
khudingmaksu eidi kathok-khrabani; aduga houbu-houraba
yahou, uragani soidana yengningdraba oja, lai, amasung atei
leibak-ki macha mayam ama — aduna makha tadabida feijup
asi chingkhat-tuna ei, ngeihaktaga chepkhige

Hek hougatpada famelda kheini-churuppu leirammadi numit
ama houba yajariba Leibak Macha eini; palem ema ebemmana
chak tusu loisinbirammadi, chakkhom khara hukchillaga eikhoigi
klubki pukhri mapanda yoongba rellingda — sembang na eikhoigi
mayai kada, yachang-ngakpada makhel langba makhei yan-bagum
— eihaksu emanaba sing-ga yalluba yarabani

Nongmagi, nungtigi, toupham thokpa kharadudi touhouge;
meena tourakpa thabakta seedha-houdrabadi, makhoibu
thana-houdrabadi numit adu nongthi-nongmangbada kaikhiba,
nakhiba hakchang sarukta fudhorakpagum faojariba Leibak Macha
eihakna kanabu chittharammage, kanabu khut tharamdrage;
masigumbasing asibu toudragadi eibu eini esana esabu
karam-haina haigadourige

Kayam kanna’ bu hotnariba makhoina: daktar, engineer,
ukil, oja-nungja; thagatluraga naapal chaokhi-nabani,
masa chadana matu choongba makhoina fakhraga
Leibak Macha eingonda karibu kannariba; aduga mee
ateinasu tounadaba natte — meebu chang-hat-hatpana
eikhoigi furupki chatnabini, khunnai amada hinglabadi
chatnabising asibu yaorudaba, thugairuba yaba pot natte

Makha leikairomgi oja mayamdusu thoraklabadi mee kana
amata yengda, nongmagi kummei houba yarabani; yakairol
oina Saikul lomdagi porakpa mana-masingdura, Moreh
lomgi makup-singdura khara tousillabadi penjaradabani;
eikhoina chariba nattaba chinjak mayam asi leibak kidamak
chajabani — henjinduna sirabasu, soklaktuna sirabasu,
sibei-siba leibak ki damak sigadouribani haiduna Leibak Macha
eihakna chetna wasakcha-khrabani

Nungaibagi, tangdu leitaabagi chang olliba sen-gadu khara
leirabadi habi-jabi, hen-ten, karino thabak amatang touge
haina khallaklibasi kuirabani, adubu nongdamba manasu
tambiramdare Leibak Macha eingonda; keidouruni sigadaba
punsini, ngeihak nokni, ngeihak kapni — see’ mangaidana
hingba haibabu; touwigumbasung kamandogado amuktang
oijarabadi, thikadargado amuktang oijarabadi, gormen’ skoolgi
ojagado amuktang oijarabadi....

Taibangpal asi fagini adubu, mayamna hainabagi matung inna,
lan-thumna asengba oiramle eikhoi miyoinabana khanba-ngambagi
mahei; masigumba mayam asi khangnaba, Leibak Macha eina
thajabadi khunnaigi mayokta leiba mathou tai; toubatabu khutta
paiba etaogi, yada hookpa echagi, kutlaobana eigi

Haire watathi, haidre wa mang-ngi; kannade makha tarubagisu;
kalendana saade, ingthamthadana ingde nongallakpagi matamsidi
karibu hairuni, Leibak Macha eingondadi nungaijakhare, matam
haiba mahousagi khongleisi angakpani.
