Heartfelt night

Nyunt Htay

ရင်ထဲကည

ဝါလကင်းလွတ်
သီတင်းကျွတ်တည့်
လပြည့်သည်ည
တင့်ရွှန်းပမြိုင်
နိုင်ငံအဝှမ်း
မြေမဟီနန်းမှာ
ကပ်ရောဂါဒဏ်
စစ်ဘေးရန်နှင့်
အန္တရာယ်ခပ်သိမ်း
ကင်းလွတ်ငြိမ်း၍
အောင်ကိန်းကိုပိုင်
အောင်လံခိုင်မြဲ
အောင်နိုင်ပွဲတွေ
ရနိုင်စေ ။ ။

မောင်ညွန့်ဌေး (အထက်မင်းလှ)
၃၁.၁၀.၂၀၂၀
(ကိုနေမျိုးဇော် လက်ရာ ပန်းချီ ကိုကြည့်ပြီးရေးပါသည်။)

Heart Felt Night

End of Vassa , Rainy Season Retreat

Thadinkyut , Lightening Festival

The night of the Full Moon

In glorious splendor

Throughout the nation

This Royal Land

Calamities — pandemic

battles and war

countless dangers

May they fade and disappear

View Victory signs

Hoist Victory banner

May series of Victories be achieved .
