Sha 'tiewmatïong la nga peit
Ha khet ki diengbah ba'm kot kheit;
Jingpynhiar mynsiem thiang ba'n iw
H'u tyrkhang nga dem khohsiew.
Ha thaiñ ba ki lyer pyngngad
Ki dang suh sieng khlem blad,
Lem bad tyrkhang jong ki lum bad ki wah,
Junom ban im ngam ngiah.
Ko tyrkhang ba pynkrih
Ïa ki lyer jingiwbih
Ha ri ba puri blei ki ieit,
Ba me suh ki thied hapdeng shrah 'dew-kulong,
Pansngiat ïa me ngan pynphong.
Rongphong pyrthei kim larkam
Ïa me ba ngan pynspong ka nam;
Jynhaw jinglong jingim ba thiang
Ba me pynsieng, ka la biang.
Sha dohnud sakma pynpar
Ïa ki sur jingphawar,
Ba khun ka ri b'la rah soitan sha rngai,
Sha rympei kin wan phai.
'Tiew-tynrai jong ka ri,
Ba dang wan beh ha ngi
Ïa ki lyer sotti juk hyndai,
Ï'u klong snam jingieit la ri ïai kynshait,
Ha lhop pyrthei b'un ym stait.
Sha ri u bnai bad ka sngi,
Kum me, ngam don thapniang ba'n jngi;
Ïa me, ieh wat khang ba ngan bud
Tang da ki sur ka dohnud.
Da bor ba'm i ka khmat briew,
Ïa jingmut to kyntiew,
Na lyndet lyoh ïa ki sap ba ngan kem,
Hangne ba eh ba ngan shem.
'Tiew tyrkhang ba pynher
Khlem kut shuh ïa ki lyer
Ba'n pynsieng iwbih ïa ka bneng,
Ïa longrynieng ban tor jong nga iai pyndap
Da jingpyrkhat ba'm ïap.
"Tyrkhang Iwbih" by established Khasi poet Victor G. Bareh is moving because of the affinity and connection that the poet experiences from a sweet smelling fern.
