Babomkhulu! Angikwazi
Kodwa ngikhuluma nawe,
Ngingenakubona wena
Kodwa ngibon’ amabhena,
Athe kim’ azalwa nguwe,
Anginika lokhu kwazi.
Phambi kwami nant’ ukhamba,
Bath’ ukhamb’ olwaludlela
Wena mfo waseMzwangedwa,
Owashiy’ uhamba wedwa
Wakhohlwa nokumbulula
Okuphethwe yilolu khamba.
Ukhamba lukaMkhulu lolu,
Lwagudulwa ngamalula
Lwab’ umbuyis’ ophambili.
Isitsh’ esingakadleli
Esithwal’ amalephula,
Sibunjwe ngemigulugulu.
Kuwe ngibon’ izintaba
Ezaqanjwa ngoSonkomose,
Ezaqhamuka noMkhwethu,
Zakha ngolwenkab’ ukhwethu,
Zifung’ okabab’ uNkombose
Zithi: Mzungeziwentaba!
Ngiyesaba ngamaqili
Lolu khamb’ olwawagudla
Lungebon’ oMkhwethu ngezwi:
“Imband’ abayizwe ngezwi
Ukuthi kwaMzilikaz’ iyadla,
Utshan’ obumampilimpili.”
Yeka lawo manz’ ampofu,
Qwabe wen’ obuwakhonza
Enjengompe lwezinyosi!
Ngish’ ikholw’ elithi, Nkosi,
Emsamo liyakukhonza
Wena Nkosazan’ empofu
Owendela kul’ ukhamba
Nokuphethwe yil’ ukhamba.
