Mari’n naute a awih lai cun,
Lungawinak le lungngainak in a khat ih,
Naute hmel a zoh ah cun,
Hnamtin beiseinak cu a hmu.

A thinlung cu nui duhdawtnak in a ti eng,
Naute cu a thlahthlam siang hrim hrimlo;
Hlimzet in hnih le lekawk lai cu,
Kilhim dingin ni tin a kiang ih um a hmar ngaizet ih.

A thilmak ti cu Mari cun a hmu,
Phar a ti dam lai pawl, kezeng ke ih an fehlaipawl,
Mitcaw in khaweng an hmuh lai pawl,

A fapa in in suah zalen lai pawl cu a hmu.
Thinglamtah ah an khenbet lai a hmu ih,
A hliam le naa tuar cu a theihpi ih,
A hna a hlen suak ti a thei ih,
Mitthli tla phah in a irh suktuah ih.

Naute damsung caan cu a nuam lo ding,
Pathian fapa neih sun a si nak vekin,
A hmai lam ahcun harsatnak a um.

Khrimas caan a rung thleng ih,
Mah le zawn ciar ah kan buai thluh ih,
Ei ding, lei ding, cei ding kan ti;
A san ziang a si ti kan sut-aw ṭheu kei uh.

Kan buainak lak ah hin caan-awl hawl sehla,
Kan hnen ih laksawng in hlan hi kan ruat ṭha tlang kei uh,
Nui duhdawtnak nausen mipa,
Remnak le daihnak duhdawtnak cu.

Mi kip hrang a si, a rung pian cu,
Pathian fapa neih sun
A hmai lam ih um cu.
