Sithunywa Sami Uthuleleni Poem by Lona Luthuli

Ngibe ngisathe ngyaphahla
Ngithi ngyathokoza emsam'
Ngilibeke phansi idolo
Ngibuze ngithi dlozi lami
Ngabe ungishiyelani.
Ngihlale ngicabanga
Ngikubone okomhlaba, okulotshiwe
Ebhayibheleni akunakushintshwa
Manje pho kungani mengithi nkosi
Ngilamulele, ngisize baba lutho
Impendulo ukuvela, Aybo phendulani
Zinyanya zami, Thonga lami.
Namhlanje ngicela okukodwa
Nakhu sifiso sami
Sibambe isandla sami
Ungangishiyi nkosi yami
Feza esakho isifiso
Njengoba nawe waw'shilo
Abantwana bakho awsoze wabashiya
Awphela sithunywa sami
Ngikhanyisele indlela yami
Uvule iminyango, ukhanyise ubumnyama
Uqaqe amafindo, Uvule izinhlanhla
Uze ungangishiyi noma sekunzima
Ngyabuza phela ngithi
Sithumywa sami uthuleleni
