Isisekelo sempilo

Isisekelo sempilo ukudl’ okusha,
Okutshal’ engadini yemifino,
Nasengadini yezithelo,
Imifin’ ethelel’ enhlabathini,
Nemifin’ ethelele ngaphezulu.
 
Imifin’ ekhiwe kahle,
Ibuy’ iphekwe kahle,
Yiyon’ enempilo enhle.
Izithel’ ezikhiwe kahle,
Zadliwa zisekahle,
Yizon’ ezinempil’ enhle.
 
Ukuze sikhule thina bantwana,
Siding’ ukudl’ okusekusha.
Siding’ imifino nezithelo.
Ukuze sikuthole sikudle,
Kumele sisebenze siqine,
Selekelel’ abazali bethu
Ekutshaleni nasekuhlakuleni.
