1 Sengingenile esivandeni sami, dadewethu, mlobokazi wami;
2 Ngalala kodwa inhliziyo yami ivukile.
3 Sengisikhulule isigqoko sami
4 Isithandwa sami sangenisa isandla saso embotsheni yomnyango;
5 Ngavuka ngayasivulela isithandwa sami,
6 Ngasivulela isithandwa sami,
7 Abalindi bangibona
8 Lina madodakazi aseJerusalema, ngiyaliqonqosela
9 Isithandwa sakho singcono ngani kulezinye izithandwa
10 Isithandwa sami siyakhazimula sincwaba,
11 Ikhanda laso liligolide elicengwe kakhulu;
12 Amehlo aso anjengamajuba
13 Izihlathi zaso zinjengendima yeziyoliso
14 Izingalo zaso yimiqwayi yegolide
15 Imilenze yaso yizinsika zelitshe
16 Umlomo waso uyibumnandi qobo lwabo;
