In the place where Kopili flow,
Karbi society, a structure aglow.
Patriarchal roots, a lineage strong,
Clans and sub-clans, where they belong.
Five Kur stand tall, handsome and bright,
Terang, Teron, Enghee, Timung's stride,
Engti completes, a circle whole,
Each with Millim, a branched out soul.
Hendam binds close, families near,
Exogamy's rule, tradition clear.
Marriages arranged, with careful hand,
Harmony all over the Karbi land.
Lindok leads wise, with elders' decree,
Guiding the village, for all to see.
But change whispers soft, on modern breeze,
Education's touch, and shifting seas.
Yet, the core remains, a structure brand,
A Karbi tribe gentle at hand.
From ancient roots, to branches new,
Karbi culture is unique and true.
