  • “Mei” da Phuibirui

    Ka jingieid ba nyngkong phi ai ha nga,

    Ngan iai bat skhem baroh shyrta,

    Hapdeng ki jingeh ba bun,

    Phim ju ieh iala ki khun.

    Bunsien haba kut ki lad,

    Phim lah khlem da jaw ummat,

    Na ki khun phi kwah buhrieh,

    Phim kwah ia ki ban sngewsih.

    Ka pang ka shitom phim ju kheiñ,

    Ban biang ki khun phi kwah eh keiñ,

    U Blei un don ryngkat bad phi,

    Lynter ki sngi jingim jong phi.

    Ktien sneng ktien kraw jong phi Mei,

    Ngan ym shem ha sla pyrthei,

    Ka mynsiem jong nga ka hun,

    Ngan burom ia phi kum ka khun.

    Phi long ka nongsaiñdur ia ka jingim,

    Bad ruh ka nong ai mynsiem,

    Ngam shem shuh kum ma phi Mei,

    Ka jingieid phi theh sei.

  • Ka Phniang Ka Pjei

    "Ka Phniang Ka Pjei" ka dei ka kmie ne kiba haïing hasem kiba dang dei na kajuh ka jait ne ka kur; u thied u symbai.

    "Ka Phniang Ka Pjei" is the mother or the relatives who are from the same clan. The phrase also means the root and the seed.

    "Ka Phniang Ka Pjei" reiterates the significance of the mother and clan in the Khasi community. Mother, clan, root and seed become beautifully synonymous 🙏🌾🌱🌲
