Ngaphansi kwesibhakabhaka esimpunga, emazweni akhohlwayo.
Iqhawe liqamba amanga, linesikhathi,
Wake waba ujenene, wembethe inkazimulo,
Manje isithunzi, odakeni oluboshwe ngamaketanga.
Wayephethe ibheji legolide elihlukanisayo noma uphawu lwesikhundla sezempi, ngaphansi kwamabhanela emoyeni,
Kulandelwa izinkulungwane, ngesikhathi sakhe sokuziqhenya.
Kepha ukuziqhenya kwakuyinsingo, enhliziyweni yakhe usizi,
Okulandele ingxenye emnyama kunazo zonke emlandweni.
Ukuziqhenya kwakhe, njengobuthi obusabalele,
Ufake ubuthi ezingqondweni, ikusasa elinqatshiwe.
Elangazelela okwengeziwe, wazithola edidekile,
Ibutho elilahlekile, eligwinywe ku-vortex.
Manje ulele, eceleni komgwaqo, ulahliwe,
Umdala, ukhathele, futhi usengahlulwa lutho.
Izwi lakhe, elake lahlonishwa umyalo,
Manje isililo, emoyeni, silahlekile futhi siqalekisiwe.
Angisathandi, futhi engasalandelwa, sekusele kuphela,
Umbhede wakhe, umgwaqo, ingubo yakhe, indwangu.
Nokho, emehlweni akhe, umlilo awuzange uthanjiswe,
Ukuzikhukhumeza nentukuthelo, yombuso ophukile.
Kusebusuku, fakazi obandayo,
Ngomuntu ongenakhaya oqamba amanga, ukhohliwe.
Kodwa ngisho ekukhohlweni, ejele lakhe,
Ukuziqhenya kuhlala, umoya ongaguquki.
Iphela kanjalo indaba, yokuwa nobuhlungu,
Ngeqhawe elaphenduka isinxibi.
Okuphila kwabo kuyisixwayiso kulabo abafuna udumo.
Lokho kuzithoba kungamandla, kunegolide elicwebezelayo.
