1) A sanna lam ka kah to hi, Nisim a thak ka tung to hi;
Kah to kawm kong thum lai Topa,
“Hong suan to in a sang zaw ah.”

Topa aw hong dom to in la,
Ka muh ngei nai-loh van zang ah;
Upna tawh hong ding tosak in,
A sangzaw ah hong suan to in.

2). Lungmanna, launa tamna ah, Midangte a ut hangin -ah;
Kei ka lungsim a ut kei hi, Kei tupna a san-zawkna hi.

3). A sangzaw a misiangte’ la, Upna tawh keimah in ka za;
Dawimangpa'n thal in hong kap hang,
Ka sang zaw nuam hi leitung sang.

4). A sang pen dong ka kah nuam hi,
Vangliatna tang ka mu nuam hi;
Vantung ka muh dong Topa aw,
A sangzaw ah hong pi to aw.CKZ 70.1
