I've just found an article by famous Burmese poet Zawgyi (U Thein Han) in Atlantic Monthly 1958

http://www.theatlantic.com/doc/195802/burma-early-art

It contains the Alaungsithu Sutaung or Alaungsithu Prayer --

from the 11th century, translated by the famous historian Gordon H. Luce.

I have been looking for this prayer for over a decade and so am mighty pleased to have found it.

Kyi May Kaung.

Rohingya in Bangladesh--so many.
