Culani

Culani bantwana besikole,
Cikozani ngamaphimbo amtoti.
Culani ngobunono, manono.
Umculo wenu umnandi,
Umnandi njengowezinyoni,
Ezicula kamnandi emahlozini.
 
Culani nani zinyoni,
Culani kamtoti emahlanzeni,
Cwengani ngengcwenga yamaphimbo,
Majuba nithi:  “Amdokwe! Amdokwe,
Amabele avuthiwe ehlanzeni!”
Cikozani nize nicimeze.
 
Culani nani bophezukomkhono:
“Phezu komkhono! Phezu komkhono!
Mfazi wadl’ imbewu!”
Bavuseni nalab’ omama
Abangakayidl’ imbewu, balime,
Batshale selethwese!
