Lento Kunje Namhla Poem by Anele Potelwa (Unpublished)

Kungezixhiba zixhokonx'intliziyo
Kungegaz'elimnyama liphala
phakathi kuzizigxala zithongoza
Yiyo lento namhlanje kunje

Kunganyembezi zigxiz'emagxeni Aph'ubomi bomntu butshabalala
Kungemikhuthuka ixhaphaz'izizalwane
Aph'intsana zashiywa zisil'udabi lwentlupheko

Yiyo lento kunje namhlanje
Uthando ingumnqa ukungaziwa
Agxwal'emswaneni amaqili
Ukushiy'imilwelw'entsund'emizini
Zinyamezel'izizalwane kwezo ntsizi

Yiyo lento kukrwada kunje namhlanje
Ingqond'iswelekile zizilonda
Sizwe sonke sihleli kulo eli qokola
Yingqokelela yezithong'eziswel'ubuntu
Namhla kubolile siyakhalaza

Amabhung'ambomb'onke
ngobuninz'athwaxwa lul'ukhamqo
kusisidima siswel'uthozamo
Kuyinzolo iswel'isithozelo
Yiyo lonto sicul'eligwijo namhle

Ewe!
Yiyo lonto kunje namhlanje
Ingcambu zaphaphatheka kulomimoya
Aswel'amandl'amaxhego ngeba ayalungisa
Kub'intsana zabo zehlulekile
Nezo zizukulwana sele zibhubhile
