Burn your midnight lamp,
Brave Kuki kinsmen, don't cease,
Until the battle's won, and victory's release.
How long shall injustice dictate, with iron hand?
Their doom is near, truth triumphs, across this land.
Burn your midnight lamp,
Dear hearts ablaze,
For in perseverance, the most valuable price is paid.
Resilience yields the rarest treasure, don't you know?
Never say die, until destiny's conquest is shown.
Burn your midnight lamp,
A higher place awaits, beyond imagination's might,
We made a tryst with destiny, a promise to hold tight.
For ourselves, our children, and their children yet to be,
A better future beckons, where heads are held high with glee.
Burn your midnight lamp,
Let the gong we beat resound far and wide,
Let the charred wood tied with chillies be our guide.
And when the news of Zalengam spreads like wildfire's might
May it wipe away the tears, of the widowed, the young, and the old in sight
May it bring solace to the martyrs, and comfort to the brave
And may our struggle's legacy, forever be engraved.
