Umculo Waphezulu
Yikuphi ukuthanda okungavuki futhi okungalawuli?
Lapho i-jubal ekhazimulayo
Ihabhu lezingoma lenze izintambo,
Abafowabo bamlalela,
Futhi ngisho nothuli amabunzi akhothama
Hlonipha ubukhosi obubusayo.
Lokho akukho ngaphansi kukankulunkulu ababecabanga
Gcina lokho kumangala
Ukuthi ukhulume nabo ngomoya omnandi kangaka.

Ukuthi isembozo sesivele siphukile,
Futhi intukuthelo ibhebhethekisa, nokulwa
Isiphi isiphepho esiqhamukayo.
Ukuphinda kabili, ukuphinda kabili okukhulu

Khuthaza abalwa nabanenkani,
Qhubeka! Qhubeka! ephindayo.
Ukududuza okumnandi
Umtshingo okhalayo
Ngothando losizi
Kulowo onamahloni uthanda,
Ithemba liyakhala ngaye.
Kuvezwa ivayolin
Umfutho walowo othanda
Intokazi edelelayo;
Umhawu oyisisulu,
Ulaka olumvuthayo.
