Mynsiem Katno ka Dap Jingkmen


Mynsiem katno ka dap Jingkmen

Ban peit iapha ko Mei mariang

Hapneh Jongpha Nga heh nga long

Jingkmen Jong nga hapha ka shong


Haba nga peit ki lum ki wah

Ki sim ha Jingsngewbha Ki pah

Ha Mei mariang Ki kmen Ki Suk

Pha Ker Pha ri riewspah ne duk

Ki lum Ki wah wat Ki pyntha

Baroh ha Jingsumar Jong pha

Mynsiem ka ban peit ngam ngiah

Syntiew Ki skud hapha Ki speh


Ki um ba shngiam ha wah ba tuid

Rymphum Ki kshaid Ki Noh laitluid

Sha thwei ba ingum Ki Noh arsut

Bad Jingsawa naki ka put


Hynrei phew se kala kylla

Syllen Ki khlaw Ki ba nylla

Ki sim Ki doh tiew laiphew jait

Hangno kin rieh ban ioh shongthait


Tang Jingjakhlia bad Jingbymman

Namar Ki riew ieid RI la dam

Sa tang Ki ing khong shyllangmat

Ban ioh pynjot Ki sngew tynnad


Kim salia i'u ksuid i'u khrei

Kim don ka Jing pyrkhat eiei

Tang ban heh la u Saipan

Ki thom wat ia u briew u blei


Kim don Jingmap para Maki

Wat ban iarap Ki ia kli kti

Tang ban biang ka malade

Ki tla bunsien ki pynthame


Shaei kein ka Jingtiplem

Ban iarap i'u biej i'u them

La jyrsieh tang a Jing sniew

Ka bih ha shyllangmat la kiew


Ka Mei mariang bapli ka iam

Namar bynriew u la Leh tam

Marwei Katno ka pait dohnud

Hala mynsiem marwei ka ud


Mynta ka shong ha nga ha phi

Ban thaw thymmai iala ka ri

Wat shong jai pdeh ha la ka dpei

Lada phi pyrkhat ia ka kawei



Original Khasi poem "Mynsiem Katno ka Dap Jingkmen" written by @samsan_yt
Thank you for this poem which has a lot to teach us! 🌲🏞️🌬️🌤️🌄
The poem portrays the beauty of Nature and the environment. The bountiful resources that exist in it but are shamelessly exploited by man. We all know this story. We have heard this a million times! Do we really care about what is happening to the environment? Will we be able to survive if its degradation continues? The poem concludes with the fact that it depends on us to help Nature regain her true value and strength, which will in turn enrich human existence.
