To my Brother

Nunkawng sual biboh i zawh avang a
Nun tha i hloh hlauh luat vanga zuapa'n
Hmangaihna tiang a vilik khum lai che khan,
Ka mittui a lo far ve asin.

Zirna run in sang kan bel dun a
Ka dil thin 'sin kawl ek i thai bik loh na'n.
I hlawhtlinnain ka beng a rawn thlen khan,
Nang ai ka lawm zawk ka ring hial asin.

Mite angin a nei ber fa ni lo mahla,
I theih tawk i hlan thin ka tan;
I lo hrelawk si unau inhmangaih hlut dan,
Ka tan hian i hlu chungchuang asin.

Khawvel hmasawna a thang zel ang a,
Mite tan malsawmna i nih ve theih na'n,
Mahni kutkea ding ve tura'n,
I chhungte hian kan beisei che asin

The Last Laughter

In the middle of this bloody battle I fought,
Loser I am, I always thought;
Clouds of failure weaken my knee,
I'm drenched and lost in this foresaken sea.

Skill and strength I have none,
Saw nothing but a setting sun.
With much pain I've tried,
With no tears I cried.

As the night grew darker,
I stumbled and faltered
Uncertain of what lies ahead;
Again I cried with thoughts upon my head
And wonder,
The time I laughed the last laughter.

In The City

They came from near,
They came from far;
To stretch their wings, to get their dues,
Being promised a treasure by news.

They have settled,
They are tangled;
They loitered in worldly pleasures,
Forgetting the untold treasures.

Out the corner,
Came a spider;
With fiery eyes and hungry pouch,
They succumbed to his clever touch.

Too deep they sank,
And all went blank;
They've realized, but it's too late,
Colourful dreams shattered by fate.
