Now you know me – I am a KUKI

Oh, dear, the other tribal, lucky you,
Living in Imphal's delight, with bright Meiteis.
You get to enjoy the valley’s vibrant pace,
While we face a different troubled space.

Your access is easy, your welcome is grand,
A harmony of love in the newfound charm.
You're part of the crowd, part of their band,
Living the Kangleicha’s dreams in their land.

Oh, dwellers of valley, with occasional feast in sight,
It gladdens me to know of your joyful delight.
But tell us, dear tribesmen, when did you all
Grow up together as one with a joyful choice?

Enjoy your privilege, access and recognition,
But don't forget who bore the brunt of the March
Who fights for rights, freedom and voice.
Now you know me – I am a KUKI.
