Ukubuyisana noZimu
1Kumkhaleli; irhubo lamaKhorarhi.
2Somnini, wabonisa umusa enarhenakho,

3Wacolela amacala wabantu bakho,
wasibekela zoke izono zabo.
4Wasusa yoke itukuthelwakho,
waphenduka ekuvutheni kwelaka lakho.
5Nje-ke, Zimu wesindiswethu, buyela kithi godu,

6Uzasithukuthelela isiphelani na?
Kghani, uzakwelula ilaka lakho

7Wena awuzukusivuselela godu
ukuze abantu bakho bathabe kuwe na?
8Sitjengise ukwethembeka kwakho, Somnini,

14Ukulunga kuzakukhamba phambi kwakhe,
kwenzele iinyawo zakhe umzila.
