Liwa Laphakade

Liwa lamaphakade
Elacandwa ngenxa yam,
Mandizifihle kuwe,
Ndiphiliswe nge-Gazi
Elaphum’ ephangweni,
Lindihlamb’ esonweni.

Ndikhol’ wekukufeza
Okuyalwe ngumthetho,
Nangani ndingayeki
Kuzama nokulila
Andingecimi sono;
Ndosinda ngawe wedwa

Ndiza, ndingaphethe nto
Ndithe-nca ekruseni
Mdingoze, ndambathise,
Ndikhohliwe ndincede,
Ndingcolile mthombo wam,
Ndihlambe, ‘ze ndingafi

Ndisahleli nje apha,
Akucim’ amehlo am,
Ndicande lamathunzi,
Ndikubon’ eTroneni,
Liwa lamaphakade,
Mandizifihle kuwe.
Amen.
