Igusha Poem by Anele Potelwa (Unpublished)

sisidididi sesidenge,
esizithobileyo phambi kwamehlo ethu,
ngumxhaka-xhaka,
omathumb'antaka kwiintlanti zethu,

Loo ndlebe yakhe ingevayo,
Loo mehlo angaboniyo,
Loo nkan'inkene-nkene ukubaza,
Ndixel'umduk'odukisayo ngokuduba eDutywa,

Ngqond'engqingwe bubuvila,
Kub'uhlel'utyhafile okwamehl'omkhombe,
lala gusha ndikuchebe,
cwaka! mqala ndikuxhele,

sithulu sakoweth'esingevayo,
mfama yasemaTolweni engaboniyo,
phaku-phaku lomnt'oxhiphilili,
kuba bumnyam'ubukhalipha bakhe,
nabo bucuntsiw'ubukrele-krele bakhe,

Vuku-vuk'elinuk'ubudlaka-dlaka,
dlav'elindlandlathekileyo kulo ndlela uyihambayo,
kuba yiyo le ingaziwa nanguThixo,
Ndikubona Ulekelel'ilanga,
Ndikubona Uzekelel'umoya,
Ndikubone kwakho uphehlelel'umhlaba,

Ligoq'ingqondo yakho,
Kodw'imsulwa intliziyo yakho,
Ngendiba ndithi unguJama kaSjadu,
Kub'ujama ingathi uvinjw'idlelo,
Kub'ujam-jam oko lusu lwenkomo,

Ndivumele ndith lala mbethe likhon'itshoba,
Kuba uxel'inkwenkwe elala emaqanda,
kubuvuvv nobudenge beengcinga zakho,
Kowu Vuka Mfondini!
