Ani ka lo ni

Ani chuan,
Chanchinbu a zuar ṭhin a,
Bankhur leh èkin khur a lai ṭhin.
Tuichawi leh gas puin a inhlawh ṭhin a;
Cement, balu leh brick unload te,
Lei lai leh leivung paih te,
Cubic lung leh cement chawkin;
Lehkhabu a zuar kual a,
vaipa helper-ah a ṭang a,
Bazar lûn laiah silhfen bal tak nen.
Huan a sam a,
Kawtlai a phiat fai a,
Darthlalang a nawt fai a,
Chhuat a nawt fai a,
Thawmhnaw a su fai a,
Fai a ngainat vang a ni lo.
Ramhnuai pilril takah hna thawkin,
Kham leh suar a zawh fo va,
Khawlum leh thosi karah,
Thlantui hruin hma lam a pan ṭhin.
Rual pawl tawk lek ni mah se,
Rual a pawl ve theih nan,
Rual a pawl loh a ṭul si ṭhin.
Tlaivarin ṭheka a thawk a,
Tlaivarin thu a chhu fo va,
Tlaivara nat lai leh,
Tlaivara lungngaia rŭm lai a nei ve ṭhin.
Mi hnuaia inhlawhna zawngin,
PCO-in office a phone kual a;
"Chumi khami ka ni a,
Chutiang khatiang thawk tur in mamawh em?" tiin,
Zak chung chungin a be ṭhin a,
A ngaiah bawk a let leh ṭhin.
Sum thawh chhuah dan a dap kual a;
Nuihza a siam ṭhin a,
Nuihzat a hlawh leh ṭhin.
Thu leh hla nei ṭhin mah se,
Thu thûk leh hlut hlawh hla a nei chuang lo.
Dinhmun awhawma ding sa ni sela chuan,
Hengte hi a pumpelh ve ni tur a ni a,
Mahse, chutiang a ni si lo.
Chhuan tlak loh nunhlui kha,
Uanpui thamah a chhiar leh ṭhin - ani kha chuan.
A ni, ani ka lo ni.- 10 July 2018
