Umfu. PT Mtuze (Indwalutho)*
Sylvester Ngqongqwana
Yingqay' ephuphumayo lulwazi,
Ngumphand' ozele yingqiqo nenkcubeko,
Liselw' elinemihlisela yengqak' entubululu yobuchwephesha,
Yinzululwaz' exhakazel' izidanga,
Isithwala-ndwe esithweswa mihla le,
Khona kutsaz' iingcungcu zona zimilomo mide.
NguMfundisi kuMaTshetsh' emishini kwaDimbaza,
NguMhlol' ohlonitshway' esiXhosen' eRhini,
Nabebanga leshumi basawaz' amazinyo akhe.
Bamvumil' eUNISA ePitoli,
Njengomcubunguli nengcaphephe yesiXhosa,
NoSatyo uyabaz' ubungqindilili bengqam yolwimi lwakhe.
NguMnquma ukomelela,
uMthathi ngokuthandwa ngezangotshe zakhe,
uMsenge ngokuqin' emasikweni nakwizithethe,
iHlamvu lokwandlal' imibandel' enobuzaza yolwim' olusisulungekileyo,
iSundu elincamis' umxhelo kuhlang' oluNtsundu,
NguMtuze indwalutho nesixhakaxhaka sakwaXhosa.
Mna ndiyabulela Ngqolomsila,
Ndibulela Sophitsho ngendyebo engangundiyo,
Oyityal' esizweni esintetho isisiXhosa,
Ukuz' ulwimi lwamaNyange lungabhangi,
Kakade, isizw' esingenamv' asinamphambili.
Ndibamba ngazibini "Vela belungis' ukuhlala",
Ngolwimi lwakh' olubucwamburha ukungcwenga,
Ngezangotshe zakho zokuthetha nokunaba ngosiba,
Izinwe, amaqhalo nezaci zakho;
Namagqabaz' oman' ukubinza ngawo kwaNtu,
Asisiseko esiluqilima sexesh' elizayo.
Ndikuthanda x' uyal' uMazulwandile,
Kanye kuwo uMyolelo wodumo,
Kuloo ngub' irhwexayo yobuhlwempu,
Umetyiso nawo ujonge ezantsi,
Ikati nayo ilele eziko.
Usith' ayigcin' ayikokose imfundo,
"Kodwa nembol' ebomv' inexabiso",
kakad' inyath' ibuzwa kwabaphambili.
