Ki ong ba pha lah kylla,
Riew kieng atiar la pynliem da u pyrjong Bangla,
Ki shong shuki ki lah kynmaw la ki dustur riti (Ryngkat bad I wain nabar ri)
La ia suk u Dkhar bad u Khasi.
Lehse nga ieid palat ia pha.
Mynshwa nga phet ,
Tang namar ba la pynsyier pynsmiej
Ia I Mei I Pa da kito kiba la pule puthi
“Lah ba mih shabar fi, Shillong is not like our days.”
Ban peit tang ia kaei kaba sniew kaba jia ia pha.
“Phet wir phet jngai la sdang kiew ka skai”
Da kito kiba shong sawdong shawla ha
‘Sngi u blei’ ban
Phai noh pat sa sha ki khana na “Rynsan Khasi.”
Ki seng ieid ri ki lah sdang mane spah,
Ka rong saw jong phi la dung da u paia, tep shyiap bad ka dew bilat.
Ia nga tang ka rong stem ban da na ka slap ka lyer .
U mraw pyntullun shalyntem lai rong ngam mynjur long.

Tiew lalyngi pep shad
Ba la shah teh lakam
Da ki kti thombor ka por.
Map i kyrpad;
Khosiew ha snieh pyrthei,
Ki ummat ksiar i pynjaw.
Katba ki aiom ki iai tyllun,
I phuh samrkhie-
Mynta ba dag iohi ia ki sur myllung.
Ka mariang ka bym ju thok.
Mynder u pyrshang kner;
Ia ine i khun rangli ka mei ramew.
Hynrei u sep ei, namar ki thied
Ki suh sieng shaduh ki thwei ka pyrthei.
Tiew lalyngi pep shad
Ba la shah teh lakam
Da ki kti thombor ka por.
Map i kyrpad,
I angnud ba i pep
Ia ka sngi leh sngewbha
Ki jingthaw kyrpang
Ba kup laper
Da ki rong Burom jong
Kane ka iing basa.
Ynda la rangbah-
Dohnud ba lah shroin.
Shu ap tang ka por
Ban pyn nii bad
Ban beh da ka lyer
Sha ri ki snaiap.
Ym don jingkyrmen,
Ym don shuh ki sur myllung-
Ban pyn phuh samrkhie
Ia ka dur ba la tap tang
Da ki jingkynmaw kthang.
Lah biang kane ka jingiaid
Ban shem jingstad.
Ka shu ialam tang ha ki apot
Ha ki snar ba teh kynjri
Ia une u moina ha ruh met
Bad kaba shu kular
Tang ia ki jingphohsniew.
