Ding Mikalugud

Pagumasdan ta la
Nung makananung karing uyat da ---
Sikdung tataluntun ing lugud at nasa

Y lang karing takde ning metung at metung
Ibat pa king pasimula,
Sampaga lang migbukad at minatna

At ngeni, mengaring lubid
A pupuluput king tulus ning linang,
Dudurutan de ing pinandit a indam

Anting sasaka king aun ning kealang malit
Maua la, at mirinan lang inuman—pamikatagung
Misulu at malduk king kalis ning matbud dang sarili

Pagumasdan ta la
kabang pag-umasdan de at lalarauan ing banua
o ing banua iang mag-umasid at maglarauan karela?

Paburen ta lang king karelang pamikaul
Palbug de ing lupa ning metung at metung
Karing mipanantabe rang pago . . .

Karin mu man, akalinguan dang
atin lang lumbe at kaligaligan
a pupusanan at gaganakan.
