Nkosi ndikhusele kunzima emhlabeni
Khoxelele usathana asuke endleleni
Ndihlutshwa zintshaba andazi ndenzeni
Bakubonisa uthando xolele engwabeni
Bakuphathel’intyatyambo xa uleli edlakeni
Ngaba sonile ngofuna kwamali
Ngaba ngenene imali ngumtyoli
Baphinde kwabona bayifune ecaweni
Oobhuti abaphangeli baphila ekoneni
Bathengisa ngomzimba osisi esitalatweni
Bangxame ngogxeka bengazi bekutheni
Ebusweni bukamdali sonke singaboni
Ngabolivumela likuphath’idimoni
Qina yomelela de sifike ekukhanyeni
