171   Kuyinina Ngobusuku?




[V1]
Wena mlindi wasZiyon’; Kuyini nobusuku?
Liya phuma-na ikhwezi? Iya vela-n’ intsasa?
Phaya kude Kukhazimla imitha?

[2]

[V2]
O, sixelele imphawu Esidlulayo kuzo;
Sisondel’ ezibukweni, Sel’ ibonakala-na?
Yinene-na, busondel’ ubusumkan’

[2]

[V3]
Nak’ ukukhanya kusiza! Masitsho thina sonke;
Sibon’ ikhwezi liphuma, Lilihle likhazimla!
Hi, bangcwele, Niya khululwa nina;

[V4]
Sinawo umalathiso, Lomhlaba ukufuphi;
Phambili masikhawuleze, sibe sezibukweni;
Mazwi ethu masiwaphakamise, Sidumise ukunandipha kwethu
