Ngqondo
by andile ecalpar nayika

Busuku ndithi lala mini vuka biz’ ilanga
Phez’ kwe ntloko egxiz’ idaka
Thyini gquma izimanga
Nizixuba nizivanga
Ezingapha kwendalo yenu,
Nizimpukan’ ezimdaka -
Andilifumani ibanga lesisizwe sobhubhane
Iligquba imiphanga
Ijikeleza okwe vili -
Nguma bilibanda,
Ingxola rhoqo phezu
Kwe mikhuba le minyaka
Ay’cing’ ithule ayizilanga
Lutsha niwongwe ngezenkukuma izidanga.
Nizi khulul’ azizi hlanga
Thyini!! Tu! anizinvanga iintetho zaba phambili thyinigquma izimanga!!
