My Last Song to E-pao
Molung Angjoy *
To you, shelters of different ethic tribes,
Different faces, dialects, love
Designing you a charming queen;
People called you "land of jewels" "The Switzerland of India"
Manipur, "land of jewels" "The Switzerland of India" not Manipuri's
Are corrupted no sympathy framing the honour of you;
Pretty Loktak where the Sangai dance,
Lilies are immersing half into the water,
Soon it will be a cemetery;
Gun firing, broken cries for them its Lullabies.
In the rainy season you are the umbrella,
In the slippery path you are the walking stick,
For you land as white paper and water as ink,
Writing the love story, waking up the sleepy in nook and cranny
The only E-pao contributing the true updates;
Lovely E-pao striking the corrupted minds,
Your smell from hills to plain from plain to hills;
The only peace maker;
Your aid will soon make the real meaning of Manipur to Manipuri's
Long live E-pao ……………… Long live E-pao.
