Leitabana loire punsisifao meegi oikhigadoure
Laambanasu yadare chakkhaona wakatlakle
Bandhaan sidang loubihoudaba yade
Nongmei maru manga, bomb macha amakhakkani.



Shing shingbool

/ /
Yengningladana yenglui
Eikhoigi soorongi mami mayek masak magun
Manglamchat toonglamchat
Yenglui chatna chatna

Mahousagi fajabagi toongnapham oiriba ookoo, leipung
Mapham aswaidani eikhoigi wari leiriba
Nonganbadagi eikhoina toongsillee nummitaba faoba
Eikhoida leiriba lousingkhei’ leiriba maphamsingsida

Lousing yennadragana eikhoi poolee
Eikhoina poonbagi maram amatani, ani soona leite
Ahaoba chak, ahaoba hinzang, ahaoba sha nga
Chakcha-heizanapham eikhoigi amata oibagi wakhal phongdokpham

Ngangnasee sannasee khainasee hairagana wathee
Poonsee poonseensee hairagana thibong chaminasee|

Shing shingbool machase soomangda leiriba
Leiiyba natte, lemhoubani mamanggi chak chanabada
Nong nasu loina chotle, sijinaphamsu leitre, yambasu natte
Langthokhibada karimata mangloi eikhoida, langthok-khrasira?

Koubruleikha blues

Nongju tha, ing-ngentha, hoomni marini chanba
Matamgi khongleina pooraktuna
Koubrudagi Kangla, Kangladagi maikei marida
Leirare eikhoina hinglare matamsida

Numittuni Koubruleikhana tengthahouba
Athingba yaodana magi lok ta chenthahouwee
Thing-ngamdraba lepnaidraba pirangna
Mahakki maruploi mataroi singna tamlakkhi—

Koubrugi wari kaore eikhoigi sooron-na
Akaobana ethou oire eikhoi mayamgi
Ethou olle Koubruleikhada chattuna magi tengtha esei tabana eikhoigi 
Tengthabadudani wajabadudani Sekmaigi machin-na penjariba|

Thabak thiba chatnaba thourang touba

Lairik tambagi amata ngairaba maramdi thabak toubani
Hainei laisu khanglagana athoi-ahenba oibasu ngammi
Masini sharaba kalen numit asigi lousing khara lousinba yaba
Pukhrida irurure zhom laona cheithaduna
Mureinaba khangrou see ama angouba phormal phurit ama
Jelembu machugi tie ama leather gi wangtak-touba khungup ama
Famli chatpabudi yarabani aduda kari chittha nanthahouba|

Eikhoigi kiethelda fangli thabak makhal kaya marang yamna kaidana
Mingselgi oopoo amada thamba mamal thaba potchei yonba’dumaina
Aduna 10 pass toubakheigi, adana 12 pass toubakheigi
Maduna graduate’kheigi, madana MA loiba’kheigi
Adubu thabak marang kaidrisigi maram lalhoubagi irang leibagini hai
Kharanadi eikhoigi leingakpasingda thibong-thiril yaodabagini hai
Aduga amuk kharanasu hai tougebu khalladi thabakti adoom marei
Amabu oiro amabu oire, ei loisinba loire thoknaba tourage|

Lairik tamlaga thabak fangnaba eihak kanna hotnajarakli
Thabaksidi soiba yadabana graduate-ki exam du faoba thahankhi
Eikhoigi khangnaba ahan amakhakta thahallubani
Atei kanada hairuba natte
Thajei masida akaiba karisu leite
Maramdi thabakna khwaidagi maruni
Sardibiget tudi adoom sarasu yabani|

Gormengi rate loinamak lei thabak khudingmakki
MCS kina lakh nifoo dagi yangkhei faoba
DSP gina kunthra SI gina taramanga
Skool ojagina tara klaakkina manga khittani
Sel mantiknabasu tamjarakle tamluba mahei kharadagi
Yam-yamdaba yumda sel kharasu lepsinduna thamlabani
Houjikti setliba khangrou litliba phurit pooliba tie tongliba khongup
Mayamsiga khwai chanaba thabak tuni eihakna pamliba
Kiethel ngeihak karukhige, thabak khara thirukhige||

Kangaonaraba lambi

/ /
Faa-na faa-na nanthoklakle
Tapna tapna lapthoklakle
Eyumdagi ei, ei leire
Houjikti miram asida eyum saduna
Punsigi marek mahao fangnaba
Marek mahao yaodraba punsida

Khanghoudana hongkhiba —
Meekap miraokholna meenin, achouba leibakta khongba nin
Chingsang napomna akanba noong gi achouba awangba yum sing
Sak manaramba mee singna manadaba mayam sing
Chunajaramba leibak leihao leinamna miramgi masagi masak
Anouba yawol ehou gi khonjelna ahouba nungai yaiphabagi khonjel —
Khang-houdeda hongkhiba.

Faa-raga nanthoklakpa, tapna lapthoklakpa lambisida
Eigi eyumgi maikei kaosillakle
Eigi eyum kadomdano?

Cheklagi kaidongpham

/ /
Mahousana tamlamlabra nahakki laibak
Miyoibagi chatnarolna leplamlabra nahakki laibak?
Punsi machet amatani napamlam
Punsi mapum napulam
Karidi hairuni kaidongpham khangdrabada cheklana
Kallakpa yambanara kanjaoba yaobanara
Miyamnadi hairi nahakki nayumdi nupagi mayumdani.

Mantri a.k.a. Mohori

Eigi hakchangse lai ni, lun ni
Eigi hakchang sijinabana eigi punsi lambini
Eigi hakchangna eigi pumnamakni
Eigi hakchang yonjari, mamal lepchari
Eigi eming Mantri kouwee
Eigi atoppa eming Mohori kouwee.
