220. Lakith’ Izwe

Lakith’ izw’ ekhaya, Zwe lenkululeko!
Le akumnyam’ ekhaya, Alisibekeli
Ngifis’ ekhaya kithi, Iy’khal’ inhliziyo
Abukho ub’hlung’ ekhaya, Lapho ngiya khona.

Eyam’ iNkos’ ekhaya, Nezidalw’ ezinhle!
Asikh’ ison’ ekhaya, Akhuko ‘isilingo!
Kuhutshw’ ingoma ekhaya, Ikhal’ endlebeni;
Uma ngicabang’ ekhaya, Inyembezi zehle;
Uma ngicabang’ ekhaya, Inyembezi zehle.

Abakhiley’ ekhaya, Bang’qhwebela kubo,
La lungekho usizi, Olungen’ ekhaya,
O, ngezwe lakith’ el’hle!, O ngokuphumula!
Krestu sibuyis’ ekhaya, Ngothand’ ol’hlengayo.
