Toklo Keidourage Nakhoibu,
Chaoba nangsu hallo,
Yaima nangsu nemtharo,
Karigino nakhoi nachin-nanao mayamna,
Nakhutta khutlai paiduna,
Angam-angam haatna-sunariba;
Karisu maral leijadaba,
Chamjaraba nachin-nanao kayabusu,
Ngammi haiba matagum ot-neiriba.
Toklo eechasa toklo amuktadi,
Eema yengba ngamdre, ema khaangba ware.

Hey Achouba, nangsu khara-makheidi henmalli!
Nasagi oijaba thiba henmali.
Nangna ahalni EMUNG (family) sigi yaiphanaba,
Hotnage haidi leitadana,
Nasagi KA (room) gi dang makhalli,
Nasagi chaokhatnabadang makhalli;
Lam-helliba nacha-nanao mayamsi,
Warak-leitemgedi haidadana,
Nangnadum henna thawoisilli,
Nangnadum henna hedongi;
Nangbu karamba mapi-mapano!

Thangnana hingmin-chaminnariba,
Keiroi-leikai mayamse,
Kayada nungaina shanti leina palliba;
Udabara nakhoibu eechasa,
Khangdabara mayamse nakhoibu,
Nattragana una-una khangna-khangna,
Nasa nasagi Naral (fortunes) lepnaba hotnabada,
Paangliba nameet singdu tangsinnaribara!
Khangliba gyan singdu pangsinnaribara!!
Wareda Eemadi mayamse ubada,
Tokolo eechasa toklo !!

Nakhoi nachin nanao mayamna,
Asumna amaga-amaga nungsinada,
Nasa-nasagita khannaduna,
Khatna-cheinana leiraga,
Keiroi leikai nasung namannaba singna,
Madugi khudong chaba louramgani,
Kallak pennaramgani haibasi,
Khangdabara nakhoibu eechasa.
Nattragana amuksu khangna khangna,
Nasa nasagi kananaba yengbada,
Pangliba nameetsingdu tangsinnaribara!!

Amuktadi uhallu gaba Eemagi meet sida,
Nungsi-chanana Shanti-leina hingba,
Chaokhatpa EEMUNG haibado.
Toklasi khanba eesagi KA (room) gi damak,
Khallasi amata oina eikhoi pumba,
EEMUNG sigi chaokhatnaba,
Hotnarasi amata oina eikhoi punna,
EEMUNG sigi chaokhat-khongthang,
Ngankhisi amuktangdi malemsida,
Pikcharabasu EIKHOI gi EEMUNG,
Nokchage maka-laamna Eemagi meetsida amuktadi !!"

" Eemagi Tengthakhol" (Cry of the Mother) which I describe in simple language the feeling that must have been felt by our motherland Manipur in this present situation of the land. I beg pardon from everyone if it doesn't fit the suit in any way.
