Tomal lairabagi yumdo
Tumnou eetana kuppani
Laikhal taba Meitei yumjaoni
Ningthamthadasu engdraba
Kalenthadasu sadraba
Leirang taraga sakhiba
Marashi leiraba sanggaini..
Tumnou yumthakse hanure
Mapanggal leitre
Pumkem kemle
Kumgi nongjuda haha kare
Ngaosinnaba lenjaosingna
Makhun makhun hootutle..
Khangen-gi wakrongda tangjaba
Apikpa sendranggi emungdo
Nongliktana pumchot chotle
Apikpa macha anina
Leimaida pop pop tarakle..
Mahousagi mahousa khonglibara?
Echa anibu kanbiyu haiduna khonglibara?
Mapi anidu pothangamdre
Tomaldi kadaida?
Tomal hipli
Khongtekpa tomalni
Kaptana pee tari-
Meegi mateng nijaba heijadraba mahakto
Engkhol lanna leikai tana kourak e
Chaoba tomba tonu maimu
Pakhatna changlakliba ahalduda tapna hairi
“macha ‘nidu wakrongduda ‘mukta thanggatpirammu”
Ahaldudi lepli ngakchanana
Tomaldi chatkhre..
