KANTI KONAKELEPHI?

Noma bebadlwengul’ abesifazane,
Bebabulal’ abazali abantwana baphenduk’ izintandane,
Izwe lonke likhathazekil’ izitabane,
Baba ngawakh’ amandla thumel’ abazalwane,
Izwe lonke seliphenduk’ undingasithebeni,
Ukufa kusixakile esibakhonzile basishiyil’ emhlabeni,
Izifo zining’ azilapheki asisazi senzeni,
Izinyembezi zoMam’ abazikhala mihla yonke zingangolwandle,
Ngenxa yaMadodana naMadodakazi aseqcwel’ ubulwane,
Intokozo nenjabulo kulomhlaba sekuyinsumansumane,
Isizukulwane esiyophila impilo soyizwa njengembudane,
Nobuhle bomhlaba asisabuboni busithwe zimpukane,
Ngathi bubolile buhanjwa nayizinambuzane,
Ngiyolibiza njal’ elakh’ igama Baba ngingaphezi,
Imithandazo yami iyohamba ngaz’ izinkanyezi,
Ithemba malithunyelwe nguw’ ebantwaneni bakho
Ze!! Basulek’ izinyembezi,

Noma bebadlwengul’ abesifazane,
Bebabulal’ abazali abantwana baphenduk’ izintandane,
Izwe lonke likhathazekil’ izitabane,
Baba ngawakh’ amandla thumel’ abazalwane,
ODadebethu nsukuzonke bakhiph’ izisu
Zezingane zaBafowethu,
Impil’ ishintshile namhlanj’ iyisikweletu,
Nezingane ezincane zidlwengulwe ebesibathembile
Sibabiza ngezenkosi izinceku,
Kanti ngobani esiyobathenba njengoMose naMatewu?
Ngoba lomhlab’ usubolil’ ugcwel’ izimpethu,
Ngiyafis’ ukwazi ukuth’ inkohliso nenkohlakal’
Engaka iqhamukapha kusiph’ isiphethu,
Sengikhalile, ngalila kodw’ uguquk’ angiluboni,
Kunalokho kulomhlaba ziyand’ izoni,
Ifakwelan’ emgqonyeni kadoti
Ingane eneHor’ elilodw’ izelwe nasemehlwen’ ingakaboni?
Lelizwe seligcwel’ ababulal’ abangenamahloni,
Babulal’ ikusasa lezingane nabo bengakaliboni,
Balahlekelwe unembeza ngalokho futh’ abazisoli,
Bahamba ngokukhululeka ngaphandle zangebaboshwa,
Engan’ Amaphiyis’ ajaha amaqola
Naw’ asephenduk’ abasolwa,
Ngitshelen’ iqiniso:
Impilo yakulelizwe iyinganekwane nom’ umhlola?
