Yandiza inyoni
(Abahayayo bangalingisa ngokuhambisana nomlolozelo. Lapho bethi: “bhengu! bhengu!” bangashaya imizimba ngezindololwane ukulingisa ukubhula amaphiko. Lapho bethi “Kunyonini lokhuya” bangabheka phezulu bakhombe.)
Yaqhamuka inyoni,
Yandizela phezulu,
Yabhula amaphiko:
Bhengu! Bhengu! Yandiza,
Yandizela phezulu.
Kunyonini lokhuya
Okundizela phezulu?
Kufana noheshane,
Inyon’ edliz’ inkukhu.
Izinkukhu zonkana,
Zisala ziphithiza,
Zizihlom’ ezingcingweni.
Selokhu zazingelwa
Amakhosi oheshane,
Zakubon’ okukhulu,
Zakubeleth’ emhlane!
