Imitshato yenu, yeyethu kwaphela.
Onke laa masiko asemaXhoseni,
Nemka nawo nina, asesikolweni.

Niwenza ngohlob'''oluthung'amabhenya'',
Yinkohliso yodwa, nobumenemene,
Amasiko ethu, anxitywa ilokhwe,
Ukuz'angaqondwa, nasithi maqaba;

'Ze nabafundisi, babe nagqobhoka.
Ithi intonjane, kuthiwe yipati,
Kuzelwe umntwana, kusilwa iindywala.
Kuxhelw'ozibhokhwe, kubingw'amadini;

Igama kuthiwe, Kuphum'umdlezana,
Kanti ke lo mntwana ubhabhatiziwe,
Wafakwa uphawu, lokub'unikelwe,
KuNyange lemihla, ngokubingelelwe;

Kunqulw'iminyanya, namathile-thile,

Inani leNkosi, ilahlwa ngokudla,
Niphathe kubusa, kwanokuthakatha.
Ningabokusikwa, ndifung'uNotsayeka.

OwakwaMnyaluza, ninjalo ke nina,
Nenzan'okwenjenje, nibantu bangaka;

Anoyiki na kodwa, ukuzek'ityala,

Nigqithe nakuthi, nitheth'amafene,
Nizenz'amafamba, nitheth'amampunge;

Entwen'engenayo, ninan'ukuba nje?
Sibambe liphi na, khawuxele ke ntanga,

Ninyamanye nathi, naba kwelopundu,
Nagalel'empini, nakhaka- kampethu

Kukuba ndisazi, kanene ukuba,
Kuliwa ngentetho, akungazintonga.

Zikho iinyaniso, kule ntetho yakho,
Azinakuphikwa, ndilusiz'ukutsho,
Kodwa ke mandithi, khangela ke nawe,
Kwezam'iimpendulo,ungenzi igukhwe

Ukwekwe kakhulu, malunga nosana,
Olungumhlaba, olusigebenga,
Akukhang'uvele, wenze nelizwana,
'Kusus'ezondawo, zobo bugebenga.

Nantso mana indawo, eyona imandla,
Endithi ke kuwe, ngewuyikhangela,
Kuba zonk'ezizinto uzikhankanyayo,
'Zihendo zosana, ezikhohlisayo.
Nawe uthetha nje, ubanjwe kwalulo,
Lukwenz'''ibhengeqa'', kwanab'ubuciko,
Ubenza namhlanje, kwakuyo le ngxoxo,
Sibambene ngayo, kuthe kwapetolo.

Yhiza ndikutyele, ngwevu yakowethu,
Akukho nto into, kwezinto zoshumi.
Uqamele ngazo, kule ngxoxo yethu.
Zakuphela zonke, kusale iLizwi.

Umhlaba lizala, yiva ndikutyele,
Zonk'ezi ziyolo, uqhayisa ngazo,
Zakutsha ngumlilo, ngomhlana womphetho
Umhla ndikutyele, wamfo kaMagwele!

Ngomhla wokuhluzwa, kweentw'ezilityelwe,
Kodwa ke namhlanje, ndifun'uqondile,
Ngemfundo nombuso, ozikhalazelayo.

Imfundo yenzani, ngombuso othini?
Mandithi ngemfundo, nawe uyavuma,
'Kuba ezi ofisi, nasezikuleni,
kubhalwa ziintsapho zasezikolweni.

Ipasi kaloku, nibhalelwa ngabo.
Incwadi kaloku, nifundelwa ngabo.
Intetho kakolu niyiviswa ngabo.
Magqwetha nantoni, kutolikwa ngabo.

Kuw'onke loo mazwe, bazazeke kuwo,
Kulapho kwanani, nijozela kuwo,
Nikhululwa ngabo, nasezintanjeni,
Zobupinganisa, basemiLungwini.

Ngexesha lendlala, kwanexesha lemfazwe,
Nidla ngokusinga, kumzi wesikolo,
Niwenze ihlathi, lendlala nomkhonto,
Nongiwe nilizwe niboninyakenye.

Ngombuso uthini, unani mfondini?
Kanen'asinguw'owanukw'eLungcwini,
Nyakana ngongqika, wasinda cebetshu,
Wehla nomcinga, weza kwaJohn Bull?

Yhintoni emandla, angangawe-_izwi?
Intw'engenamipu, engenazikhali,
Kanti ke kunjalo, kwenzek'izimanga,
Kwamkelw'amagqwirha kwanamanyangaza.

Abanetyheneba, kumthetho womhlaba,
Kwamkelwa indlodlo, kwanazw'iintangathwa,
Zentlangano zonke, kungekho balelwe.

Likukuthengisa, ndifung'uNotshungu,
Ndixhego lingaka, ndaye ndiliIqabaqaba,
Kumhla ndalibona, umhlamb'uNotsayka,

Sinkabi yahashe, sifakwamanqina,
Entsimbi kwaMlungu, zinto zangaphi na?
Nemali zekofu, zelityi'' nododa?

Nilanda isiko, elethu maqaba,
Umbuzo mandithi, "ayephin'amawenu?

Ikukwalamana, inqobo endoqo,
Yendele yazika, ihlahlwe liqhina,
Eliyinkazana, nomyeni isoka.

ikhazi likhonco, lokuhlanganisa,
Ekuthi nokuba, iinkomo azanele,
Kuqashwe izitho, anikwe umfana,
Omzi wakowabo, unokwalamana.

Kufaniselana intombi ixhanywa,
Madoda mabini, elinye lihlwempu,
Lidle ngomzw'ak'walo, odumo ludala,
Elinye sivunda, isimo yintshenu.

Ligalel'ithala, liqhayise ngenani,
Zikhutshwe kuphele, ezo zesityebi,
Kwamkelw'ezehlwempu, kuqashwe izitho,
Ngenxa yesimilo, eso somz'wak'walo.

Ime, ime mpela, loo ndlu yolo thando,
Alelwe isela, umfazi womfana,
Achol'onwabile, eyenza laa minwe,
Kuthethwa ngoxolo, akungazinkomo.

Libangel'ubusela, kuloo ndodana,
Efun'eli khazi lilurokorwane
Zinkomo maxamba, zisali mahashe.

Ukuze ndiqonde, ukub'utheth'into,

Ethuthw'eMlungwini, lelen'elotyala,
Iintombi zesikolo, zende zithini na?

Kanene uthini, ngemfundo yoonyana?
Uqhayisa ngezinto, zingamatshijolo?
Afunde kwaphela, abuphinganisa?
Kwii-ofisi zonke, ungev'izililo.

Yabona mfondini, ndinqand'iinyembezi,
Ndakuzeka-zeka, ndizeka ezantsi,
Ukuba kanene, ungayaph'uyayo
Izwe eli lonke, magad'ahlabayo

Wahlal'ungumthamo, ohlalutywa ngabo,
Kwaneentombi zethu, ziphela kwangabo,

Badl'ubhangalala, umthi wezifebe,
Khona umangala, lolung'elo tyala?
Enje amakhumsha, ukwenz' amafene,
Uqhayisa ngabani, ngaba phemb'eshiya?

Yiyo ke le mfundo, ugwagwisa ngayo,
Bub'obugqobhoka, uqhayisa ngabo?
Bub'obubukolo, undidinsa ngabo?
Yile mirhungwane, nisifunze ngayo?

Undiquka-quka, ngalo mgweb'uzayo,
Nangempelo yezwe, endingay'ipikiyo,
Ub'ukwenjenjalo, ungqwanganisela,
Ngento nathi sonke, sesingamangqina.

Ndokhe ndishiy'apho, khawenze okwakho,
Ubekel'entloko, ingabi mafene,
Nala mambamfamba, entetho yezolo,
Yezi ntsuku ntathu, sidwalazileyo.

UZWELIZAYO:-USUKE SELE FUDUMELE, WENJENJE:-

Ke namhla zulunge, undihlokohlile,
Ndiphezu kwengubo, ndiqhawul'incebeta,
Ndophala ndisopha, kub'undibuzile,
Wakuvumbulula, utsho wandosela.

Uphale usopha, usenz'iziqonga,
Zobume sikuko, thina magqobhoka,
Ndingaziphikiyo, xa kuthethw'inene,
Inxenye yendawo, sezindifezile.

Noko ke kunjalo, ndolahla ukade,
Ndibe sendisenza, amazwembe-zwembe,
Angawobudoda, awakho Gxuluwe,
Namhla okunene, maphel'amagukwe.

Kanene ngotywala, uthe maniyekwe,
Nisele ninxile, nibhubhe niphele?
Kuba ke usithi, bucim'izingqala,
Zomhlab'ophelile, nombus'olidlaka.

Ndith'ukuphendula, unani na ntanga?
Umhlaba lusana olusisigebenga,
Yiy'impemb'enkulu, eginye izizwe,

Senditshilo kuwe, ukuthi utywala,
Busisidla bantu, sizenza usana.
Sizenza imbulu, Undla - Nkonazana,
Isigwinta mpela, uDla benikhanyela.

Iindywala kwakhona, ziintombi ziyendiswa,

Uyazi ukuba, zintomb'ezinesoya,
Akad'ezendisa, kwintlanga-ngentlanga.

Umhlana zafika, apha eBunguni,
Iinzwakazi mpela, zafika zimbini,
Enye yeyaseMbo, neyaseMlungwini,
Wawuhlab'untsikana, kwazingekafiki.

Watsho kusakiwe, "lumkani maXhosa,"
Kuz'iintombi kuni, zizakuhlolelwa,
Ze ningazamkeli, zizisa ubugqi
Zizoshiya inkwintsi, nakuba zintsali.

Zinembuya bathwa, noba ngamaswili,
Nimyeke egqithe, unoBhel'ulomsele,
Yintombi yaseMbo, kunje nguNondebe,
Kuz'eny'eMatshona, enye inzwakazi.

YakuloDyubhele, yintombi yomlungu,
Ixhantwe kwaphela, ngumzi kaHintsati,
Ugalel'ithala, uyayilobola
Ukhupha bukhosi, ukhupha nomhlaba.

Ukhupha ubuntu bonke kwaphelela,
Tu nto isasele, baphokophalala,
Bachithwe bubugqi, bayo loo nkazana
YakuloDyhubheleumchithi weentlanga

umhlana ye qatha, yafika noKhula,
Ehamba noDuli, weza kuLwaganda,
Wafika wayihlolela, washiya umkhonto,
Nasuke Bunguni, nayizekeluMjodo.

Nagalel'ithala, inkomo nomhlaba
Zangena iinkosi, zangena nezizwe,
Akukhont'isele, zele kwaCihoshe,
Lonke elo xesha, eny'isagongxile.

Umlobolokazi, wayesahotile,
Engekazibuli, umhlana wacaca,
Ukub'uyazekwa, kumhla kwaf'uMxoli
Kwashukum'umhlaba, kwaya eNkoy'yanko.

Abhek'amadoda, enxib'idabane,
Aye amaNgqika, elobol'ekhetha,
inxeny'ilobola, inxen'itithubisa,
Watshona umhlaba, wemka noRwaqele.

Akukhont'isele, ngaphandle kweenkwintsi,
Akukho bukhosi, akukho ntw'isento.
Ukutsho ke ndithi, khuphani indoqo,
Sizwe samaXhosa, buphume ubugqi.

Buph'in'ubuXhosa, buphi na ubuzwe?
Uphi na umhlaba, kwanamathwalandw?
Iphin'imilonde, aph'in'amaTshwawe?
Zonke zemk'ezonto, zenizilobole.

Le ntombi yaseMbo, selinigqibile,
