HALOKNI LAMA
(2018)
~ Andrew Debbarma
Holokni yapiri barok dorop si khu
Lama duwari bwskango bwswk rimibo wngno!
Tabuk bwkha bisingo yarwng surnani jora
Khapang rab laima kophon hwn khwlai
Swrapsa jorani bisingo de lam pherwi thangno?
Omoba tamo chengdorob si khu
Ayang nokha mwnagwi somsai phai yanw
Watwi lukhwlai phuirang kok phuru
Khapangni nukhungno rutukna nang ganw.
Imang nuk khwlai mukthangni salno naising di
Tabuk imang sichwla si khu,
Puito thwinani tabuk jora ya──
Mwnak harung se laiwi man ya khu.
Busulwng kwchar twi himwi tong phuru
Yapha chwlai-o busu panaino,
Hareb rekei thangna nang phuru
Rojongo yakung usta khunaino,
Phiya sak soi di, bwkha ta bel di
Omoba tamo kwthwi harung de?
Panthor kuthugo mwnak sampili
Monoba laiwi thangna nang ya de?
Rangchakni sal naisingwi tongo
Aro tongthokma nobar dubui dubui sibjak;
Langmani khakama bebak imang nukmani
Mukthang khwlainani lamano him laijak.
Holokni yapiri barok dorop si khu
Lama duwari bwskango bwswk rimibo wngno!
Tabuk bwkha bisingo yarwng surnani jora
Khapang rab laima kophon hwn khwlai
Swrapsa jorani bisingo de lam pherwi thangno?
Omoba tamo chengdorob si khu
Ayang nokha mwnagwi somsai phai yanw
Watwi lukhwlai phuirang kok phuru
Khapangni nukhungno rutukna nang ganw.
Imang nuk khwlai mukthangni salno naising di
Tabuk imang sichwla si khu,
Puito thwinani tabuk jora ya──
Mwnak harung se laiwi man ya khu.
Busulwng kwchar twi himwi tong phuru
Yapha chwlai-o busu panaino,

Rojongo yakung usta khunaino,

Omoba tamo kwthwi harung de?

Monoba laiwi thangna nang ya de?
Rangchakni sal naisingwi tongo
Aro tongthokma nobar dubui dubui sibjak;
Langmani khakama bebak imang nukmani
Mukthang khwlainani lamano him laijak.
