Kan tawng chhuaka thu lam hahthlak kan tihhandam dan hi han chhui zel teh ang. ‘Bazarah a kal a ’ tiin kan ziak a, kan tawng ri takah chuan ‘kal a ’ kan ti ngai lo, tih tum hram ila chu kan ti thei, mahse a hahthlak hle, tihhahdam nan ‘kal-la ’ tiin kan lam thin. ‘Lala ’ tia kan ziak chu thenkhat chuan ‘Lalla ’ tiin an hming an ziak thin.
