Khumbula uMdali wakho
ezinsukwini zobusha bakho,
zingakafiki izinsuku ezimbi,
neminyaka ingakasondeli
oyothi ngayo:
“Angithokozi.”
Mkhumbule Yena
ilanga nokukhanya,
nenyanga nezinkanyezi
kungakafiphali,
lingakahlomi futhi
emuva kwemvula.
Ngosuku lapho
abalindi bendlu beyothuthumela,
namadoda anamandla athothobale,
nabasilayo beyoyeka ukugaya,
ngoba sebeyingcosana,
nabalunguza ngamafasitela
bangabe besalunguza,
lapho neminyango
ephumela emgwaqweni iyovalwa,
nomsindo wesigayo
ushayele phansi,
abantu bavuswe ngukutshiloza kwezinyoni,
nokuhlabelela kwamadodakazi
sekuzwakalela phansi,
nalapho abantu
besaba okuphakemeyo,
isihlahla somAlimondi
siyoqhakaza,
intethe itotobe,
izihlahla zekaphari zingatheli,
ngokuba umuntu
useya ekhaya lakhe laphakade,
abalilayo bayazulazula
emigwaqweni,
ngaphambi kokuba
intambo yesiliva igqabuke,
kuphahlazeke nesitsha segolide,
nokhamba lufele emthonjeni,
nesondo lifele
emgodini wamanzi,
uthuli lubuyele emhlabathini,
njengoba lwalunjalo,
umphefumulo ubuyele kuNkulunkulu
owawuvele kuye.
“Yize leze,
konke kuyize,”
kusho uMshumayeli.
