Thula mama

Thula mama
Njalo mengithi ngiyalala abehl'ubuthongo.
Emadlebeni wami kuhlala kunesikhalo
Sowesifazane okhala kalusizi.
Ngihleli ngizwa iphimbo lakhe ethandaza ethi,
Nkosi ngicela uze ungene nakwel'ikhaya.
Ingane zami zihlala zikhala mihla,
Namalanga zikhaliswa indlala.
Angzazi ngizoziphani ngisho ngoba,
Phela nabomakhelwane sebekhathele,
Ukungipha ukudla.
Ngize ngiphume ngiyothengisa otamatisi emarenki kodwa,
Ngize ngibuye kungathenganga noyedwa.
Ngiyazama kodwa akulungi lutho.
Mina eyam'imizamo iphelel'emoyeni,
Kuhle kwezithukuthuku zenja ziphelel'emoyeni.
Owesifazane ohlala ethandaza,
Uthandaza asho esanokusho isikhalo.
Thula mama leyinkinga obhekene nazo,
Ngeliny'ilanga ziyophela.
Lomthwalo owuthwel'emahlombe uyosuka,
Konke kuyo hamba kahle.
Thula mama konke kuzodlula.
