Sibanyoni, mbina pangela,
Mkhwanazi ohlaza njengenyoni yezulu,
Ngumagaya ngeenhloko iimbokotho zikhona,
Ngumamunyisa umntwana angaphetjheya kweligwa.
Yipungutjhana kamama
eyakhamba izililela,
Yathi umuzi kababa wawungeyikukhawuka,
Kwakungesikukhawuka kwakukunyangela.
Ngumavula owangena esiphileni simile,
Waphuma ahlaza njengontjani,
Ngowakhwela intaba sinyovana,
Mhlanga anga utjhe ngayizolo.
