|A golden land Manipur

Your name Manipur

A pearl from the depths of the water

A flower in the wild

Tiny but sparkling you are.

Risen from the depths of the oceans

Fortified by the mountains

Adorned in lush green robes

Alone thou art in solemn grace.

The outskirts of a Yangkok

Your appearance is a winning face

The first rays of the sun,

A mother so caring for her children

Wrapped in an eternal smile.

A land of golden waves

A land of silver orbs,

Under the blue sky

Like a jewel, you shine.
