Hlau suh la ka awmpui che
Ka veng zel che ka thlarauvin
Hlau suh la ka thlamuan che
Hlauhawmah ka veng zel che
Zan thimah ka chhun eng che
Ni aiin ka eng zawk si

    Malin ka awm lawng
    Thlarauvin min awm si

Lungngaihnate tawk mah la
Lawmnain ka vur ang che
Damlovin lo chau mah la
Damna famkim ka ni e
Beidawngin i awm ngai lawng
Beiseina nung chu ka ni

Thlemnate lo tawk mah la
Chakna chu keimah ka ni
Manganna te tawk mah la
Hahchawlhna chu ka ni e
Hlauhna tur a awm love
Engkim chungah Lal ka ni

    Malin ka awm ngai lawng
    Thlarauvin min awm si
    Retheiin ka awm lawng
    Malsawmtu ka nei si

Ka hlau lovang mi awmpui si
Mi veng zel thin a thlarauvin

Note: Greatly inspired by the hymn, E.E. Hewitt's 'Fear Not, I Am With Thee, Blessed Golden Ray' (translated in Mizo, 'Hlau suh ka awmpui che,' K.H.B. #435) a song that won me the K.N.P. (Kristian Naupang Pawl or Christian Children's Group) Solo Competition back in 1997 and also gave me the opportunity to record at the All India Radio.
