Hei, Sangzuala Pa kutchhuak bawk hi a kalh kim nan ka rawn post leh e. Rubaiyat Mizo tawnga a lehlin kha kan post tawh a, Sap tawnga a lehlin hi i lo bih ho leh ang u.
1.Zengtin ngai maw Buang khawpui huthang valin,
Tan lasi siam hreuthang mual liam a ai chuan;
Kungi u khiangawi a pawi zawk e.
If daring lads of Buang my thought could read
My lover married off is more tragic than
The huge antlered deer slipping away
2.Buang khaw dawnlungngir hmunah mi lo nghak la,
Thlangtiang lentu palnem zing ri riai hnuaiah;
Mahriakin Thanghniangi liam lul suh.
Wait for me where memorial stones stand in cluster,
Whence runs the path strewn with tender growths;
Proceed not alone my sweetheart dear.
3.Ramloh khauleng palaiah ka tir ang che,
Thlangtlai zamual khumin leng der der ang che;
Kungi u Thanghniangi run ngeiah.
Locust of the woods be ye my messenger,
Flap thy wings a flying through western hills;
Right on to the abode of my lover.
4.Tuite lo luang saw hmar tlang zalam kawiah,
Lalawithangpa thinlai ral ang a thawng e;
Dawnin Thanglunghnemi ngai ing e.
The rivulet comes a flowing from yonder north,
It stirs my heart, by-gone days come back to mind;
Drink will I, longing for my belov’d one.
5.Parah chang I, ramloh lentu parmawiah,
Thangno tumkawng Bellei mualah to ila;
Min thliak dah lawm maw e, nau lawmah.
Let me be a flower, indeed a wild flower,
Growing by the path oft’ trod by my love;
May she pluck me at least for child’s delight.
6.Kutpui Laldangan a rel suallo,
Lenlai i am ang aw, kan fam ve hma hian;
Kumsul vei khuareia kan nghah sa.
Festival’s round the corner once again,
Let’s merrily make full use of our hey-day;
We’ve waited for it the whole year round.
7.Kutpui leh Lalngovi leng kan pel,
Awi ka nu e, chhailai ngai lo iang hianin;
Needam sap tualah kan ngir reng mai.
Our hearts long for beauties and feast itself,
But day in and day out we work for the master;
As if we care not for our sweeties.
8. A ler vangah i ngai ang aw,
Kutpui hmingthang zaleng zai vawrna runah;
Chhuahtlang lelthang kiuva kiau lo chu.
Let’s call her friv’lous and nothing less,
Why not she sing full throated like Cicadae;
In our singing everyone enjoys.
9.Hei zawng zawng zai vawrna tel lo chu,
Va ko ula, chhailai vawngpui lenchawm nen;
A tello parte tikhua nuamtu.
To have missed such a joyous singing party,
Bring her, she’s indeed the delight of us all;
And fail not to bring the big drum too.
10. Kutpui kal liam tur a pawi mang e,
Kumsul veiah rel leh se Lal Saingur pa’n;
Ka leh che Biangno, tirual turin.
Sadly the festive days will soon pass away,
In coming year let the chief decide its time;
Drink of beer we’ll offer to our dear ones.
BUNG THING A PHHUAHNA
1.Bunga, thang la, pualhranga lawmah,
Val kan lawmnan millai Chhingpui,
Thangthar a dawn tuai leh e.
Blossom ye, banyan for the hornbill’s joy,
Ah! For the heart’s desire of the young lover;
Lovely Chhingpuii has blossomed again.
2.Sappui tumkawng lamlai a luahtu,
Ka zua rolung phunbung zarin;
Zawlpui khanthuam a mawi e.
Yonder in dad’s memorial platform,
Grows elegant banyan shading the highway;
Gracing entrance to the village green.
A then tan chuan a ninawm  viau paw’n ka ring. Mahse zirlaite tan puitu tha tak anih ka beisei. Kan zir ve lai te khan lo letling daih tawh se kan tui dan a dang daih ngei ang. Mizo tawng upa, hla thu hriatthiam har deuh te pawh Sap tawnga a dah khian a chiang zawk mah em aw ka ti ve ?

    Language is our vocabulary of concepts. You cannot conceptualise something that you do not have the language for. This obviously leads to some intriguing cultural misunderstandings, and may also help to explain why some people just don’t seem to ‘get’ what you are talking about. Perhaps their language is such that they cannot understand what you are talking about! . differing semantics of the ‘communication concept’ and the ‘language concept’ may contribute to the differing orientations of linguistics and communication studies…

    –therefore beautiful verses get lost in translation from one language to the other
