Kubongwa uMathukuthela

Gwalandini hole likaMalevu
Owavik’ngesilevu
Owavik’evikelwe ngesilevu
Owacez’ukufa ngesilevu
Wakheth’ubuhole ngokudala

Umlamuli
Owalamula uKhumbuza loMabhensa bebanga izinyane
Karukayi, Duma, Mjekwane nguwe
Madziba, Sibonwa yini siloywa nguwe
Khuba lomhlonywa elakhumuka emalimeni
Wena owasunduza wakhathaza uMeriyana ediniwe

Wena owaginya ithole uthembe umphumelo obanzi
UNkengiwa wakhokhelela emakhandeni wesabeka
Imigodoyi yajabulusa okukaLizi egumeni lakhe
Thembeni umgqomo kajeki uwuthethephi?

Sibuzani kusobala nje?
Lizaba lika Soni loSofi ezibukweni
Tshutshuzela nkunzi emabalabala
USimion lo Eveline bandela uMadziba

Kanti muntomubi uthandwa ngubani?
Igagwe elidla esibayeni koSijaya
UMswelanto loAnna belatshwa eyamataliyana
Ijolosi elidla lodwa koTozi
Lingesabi msido kaMachobokane

Mthakathi imvana uyithethephi?
Owakhupha uMsiyiwa engakafiki ekhaya
Sifiki wili wili ngomlozwi wabazingeli
Wena owabekezelela ukuqomisana kwababili eEden.

Imbungulu eyasinda uMaledanisa wayabikela inkosi
Ithumba elamila inkosi le nkosana emsisileni
Bavika umoya ngamahawu
Ukhophe olwaphandla izithunywa zenkosi
Zabuyela zingakubonanga

Mathukuthela owavitsha ngemigcozo
Wazivikela olakeni lwenkosi
Wena abakuzingela eguswini usendlini
Ngenkani wasidla esophoko ngesancele komkhulu
Bazithwala zatabayila izingane sakhula isiszwe

Mathukuthela mdabuli wesizwe samadoda
Wena owasingatha amadoda ayabuya lezinkomo
Unxuso lwesitha endlini yenkosi
Ubande lukapethwane olulempetshane ngiyalwesaba
Uliqhawe Mathukuthela

Izalukazi zideliwe zalahlwa
Wena ngazo, phini, pitikoti wasila
Zikhona zakuvikela wavikeleka wasila
Wavele egcekeni bakudinga ezindongeni
Bekhatshana basonga, bekuwe baphelelwa
