Ha ka la-ær wa jem,
Najŋai sñau yeisur 'ŋōh-dem',
Ki sur kûrpad-kûrpon, ki kûntien kordor u siaŋ!
Man ka yuŋ khōid, yuŋ kûntaŋ.
U sûnchar yeiwa da pûnchoŋ ki syiem ki kmai,
I stad u warim, yoh u lait na i jæt i pai;
Yoh u neh i suk, u sah i yatoh-yajan.....
Yuŋ Blai — wa pûnchit yei mûnsien, yeimaya u pûnkhlan.
In the Yuŋ Blai, we honor the sacred rituals,
Invoking divine protection to shield us from harm.
With each prayer, we seek the blessings of the gods, Ensuring peace and prosperity in our land.
Na tûŋkoŋ yuŋ blai, yeisuk da e 'ti lut
Neibhah yoŋ ka chi-rûnyeiñ da raikut;
Wapli uwa duna ka yaroŋ, tûmbuiñ ka tûŋka!
Man ka yuŋ yarap, yuŋ yada.
Da lut i mûnsien, da her wei r'ŋu,
Du wa yoh u yachemlaŋ iwi don kam chipaiu;
I stad u warim, yoh u roi u par chihajar thûndai!
Yuŋ Blai — noŋrim "U kamai yei hok" kat daŋ im daŋ lai.
Yoŋ ka yap ka sa, niam ne dustur-riti,
Na yuŋ blai u sdaŋ, yei wûrchau kti;
Yoh u pûn-eh daw-nasib, u im 'tipbru -tipblai'!
Yuŋ Blai — Niamtre waksoh-tbat hukum blai.
