154. Mlindi, Ngitshele

Mlindi ngitshele ngokusa,
Ngobuhle beZioni
Na ngeziboniso zAkhe,
uMyeni ‘se sondele!
Mhambi, Ye! suka
Qaphela Ku yasa ukukhanya
Yembatha ingubo yakho
Se kuzokusa, vuka!

Mlindi, bona imisebe,
Ikhanya endleleni
Iz’boniso wonk’ umhlaba
Zi sh’ ilang’ elizayo
Nxa kukhala icilongo,
Li vus’ abasolwandle
Abangcwel’ abafileyo
Ba gqokisw’ ukungafi!

Ukukhanya ku yakhwela,
Umnyaka weSabatha;
Si yamemeza ngamazwi,
Umbuso useduze;
Mhambi, Ye! Ngi bona ngale
Ubuhle beKhenani;
Nomuzi nobuhle bawo!
Nokuphakama kwawo

We’mlindi, uMnini-muzi
NguMbusi was’eZioni;
Ehlel’ es’hlalweni sAkhe,
U busa yonk’ imoya;
Emagqumen’ akhanyayo
Anemiseve emihle;
Nemithob’ empompozayo
Nembal’ enhl’ osebeni!

Mlindi izwe li seduze
Nez’ thelo azipheli
Ngale O, ku yathabisa!
NeMbali yas’ Edeni;
Lalela ba yahlabela,
Ku yeza emoyeni
Nez’ gidi ziyahlabela
Masinya soba nazo
