Zaw Win Pe စု ႏိုင္ ဝမ္းေျမာက္
ျပည့္ဂုဏ္ ေမာက္ဖို႔
အႏု လက္ရာ

ေဝဒနာေတြနဲ႔
ပန္းေတြႀကဲမည္
ေနခင္းေရာင္နီသစ္ဆီသို႔


Translation by Kyi May Kaung

Happy to be able to collect and save
increase the prestige of the country
fine art with
pain heartaches troubles of the artists
will scatter flowers
towards the new day 
red dawn.
 

Commenting on his art collection of works of other painters.

Ruth Prawer Jhabvala--I have a volume of her short stories--which I like a great deal.
