1 Phosela isinkwa sakho phezu kwamanzi,
2 Yabela abayisikhombisa, yebo abayisificaminwembili,
3 Nxa amayezi ethwele, anisa izulu emhlabathini.
4 Lowo onanzelela umoya kayikuhlanyela;
5 Njengoba ungayazi indlela yomoya,
6 Hlanyela inhlanyelo yakho ekuseni,
7 Ukukhanya kumnandi,
8 Umuntu angaze aphile iminyaka emingaki,
9 Jabula nsizwa usesemutsha,
10 Ngakho-ke, susa ukukhathazeka enhliziyweni yakho
