ZOMUANA

Vȃn zaduai nikhua pial lama,

Sa tinrêng omkhua lê lama;

Pialrȃl i tawk Vȃntong Lui kama.

Zamual romei aser i chok,

Vȃrṭian khodang hunhȃi i fok;

Rial zȃi rêlin chûnkhua i mok.

Senû Sepȃ khua-nû chuanin,

Hrȃng khua tuilȃi ngȋrchung chuȃnin;

I vun nuhmei bȃ sam chuanin.

Thiamnȃ ṭlingnȃ nei hman no lȃ,

Hnawngloi ki zȃi inpȃk ‘Thiam Hlȃ’;

Pun sêchiar kȃi ṭhianrual ki tȃ,

Nang Zomuan.

Khohring khochȃr ki pial kuangkuang,

Chel chuangloiin ki pêl ki khuang;

Sipui ngên raw ki ruakrikuang

Lenrual ṭhapawl ngaibȃng a zuang,

Nang Zomuan

Thlȃṭlam ngȃn naw ro ê....

Nang Zomuan.

Fashioning oneself in Black, yellow, green, red, green, yellow and black strip, the festival’s arena can never be much magnificent and astonishing: it is a time for sharing joy and woe, an hour of love for lovers and beloveds, a moment to cherish for families, a platform to pluck beautiful and handsome life partners and a leisure period for busy men and women, the arena’s melody is a whistle of phone and camera clicks, the bikes station in colours, the vehicles parks in file, the banners singing alongside the sign of the breeze, the exhibitionists in pub
