Um’ uthando selulahlekelwe yikho konke,
Umhlaba usuphelelwe yizinto zonke,
Uyongikhumbula ngephimbo lami,
Ebelikuhayel’ izinkondlo zothando ngemizwa yami,
Uyolikhumbul’ iqiniso lengqondo yami,
Uyowakhumbul’ amaceb’ emicabango yami,
Ebikad’ ikucushis’ ezincingweni zemicabang’ engcolile,
Um’ uthando selulahlekelwe yikho konke,
Umhlaba usuphelelwe yizinto zonke,
Empilweni yakh’ uyofikelwa usizi nokubalisa,
Ngalamazw’ uzothi ngiyakuqalekisa,
Kodwa ngizam’ ukudlulis’ usizi lwemizwa yam’ ebhekene nokujeziswa,
Bengizimisele ngokukunik’ uthando olungenakupheleliswa,
Kodwa walulahla waqom’ olokwenziwa,
Emva kwezinsuku namahor’ amabili luyovuthiswa,
Um’ uthando selulahlekelwe yikho konke,
Umhlaba usuphelelwe yizinto zonke,
Uyob’ usukuphi ngosuku lokuthath’ isinqumo?
Empilweni yakh’ esofika nolukhul’ uguquko,
Kuyophel’ izifiso namaphupho,
Ubumnandi bothando kuwe buyodlula njengehubo,
Uyob’ ubuswa umzwangedwa nenkumbulo,
Ungasenakusibuyisel’ emumv’ isikhathi sasendulo,
Um’ uthando selulahlekelwe yikho konke,
Umhlaba usuphelelwe yizinto zonke,
Uyongikhumbula ngokungaphez’ empilweni yakho,
Ngiyoba owokuqal’ omkhumbulayo ngay’ ihliziyo yakho,
Uyofikelwa ukwesaba,
Uphelelwe ukwenama,
Uvalo luyokushaya unqanyukelwe amandla,
Empilweni yakh’ uyophel’ umdlandla,
