The poem "Mimbang Pianna Hiangtui Vangkhua" was recited by some young villagers. This poem is the theme song of this memorial cup-

Mimbang pianna Hiangtui
Vangkhua sai bang satna,
Koi kuam albang mang ta a hiam?
Sing gam tuang tung ta hiam?
Vangkhua donleng lei lengthe khuang,
Zolawkta tong kidawng diai diai e.
Zing taikua hong vak ciang,
Sianmang sun ni hong suak;
Vangkhua don leng eng silsial e,
Lungzuan cih teng hong phong,
Mimbang pianna vang khua nuamah
Tun leh zua toh kim a i lenna.
Agam tumin dang e,heina tumin dang ciat,
Khua mun nuam mubang ngailo te,
Lailung zuan mel theilo
Ei aw e,vang khua ngai ve hang!!!
Kholhpih lia leh taang toh zai awihna.
Lailung in gel dih un,sin laiah hong zen lua,
Ei lo zong zang gamah luun ta'n
Vangkhua ngaih siam bang sin;
Mimbang pianna a ngilo te,
Sinlai va bang a mol lai ngei mo!!
Ei sinthu hi lo lawm,vaimang nu sinthu hi;
Khua tuang nusiat zaw ngil kei ni,
I heina peuh ah maw,
Selung zuan tawh nuihciam leel le'ng,
Sianmang'in gual hong zawl ding.[5]
