Sengiyokholwa ukuthi sewafa
Um’ ukukhala kwezinyoni zaphezulu
Nobusuku obuqhakaz’ izinkanyezi zezulu;
Um’ inkwezane yokusa nezinkanyezi
Ezikhanyis’ umnyama njengonyezi –
Sezanyamalal’ ungunaphakade.
Sengiyokholwa ukuthi sewafa
Um’ izintaba nemiful’ egobhozayo,
Inyakatho neningizim’ evunguzayo;
Um’ ungqoqwane wobusika namazolo
Abemboz’ utshani namuhla nayizolo –
Sekwanyamalal’ ungunaphakade.
Njengenkanyez’ edilika phezulu kude,
Nomzimba wawa njengemithi yezigude
Ehenqe ugu nezihlabathi zolwandle,
Ngawubona kuhle kwephupho bewumboza,
Ngawulindela uya ngokuya uphoza.
Ngenkathi kufiphal’ izinkanyezi, nawe
Ngabon’ unyinyiphala kwaphel’ ubuqhawe.
Phezu kwalokho angiyukukholwa neze,
Konke ukubona kwami kulize leze.
Sengiyokholwa ukuthi sewafa
Uma ilanga nenyanga sekwafa,
Kwawel’ enhlabathini yamagade,
Kwashabalala ungunaphakade.
