Abarhwaphilizi Poem by Anele Potelwa (Unpublished)

kakade lento naniyazi,
kub'izicaka zenu nazo zazisazi,
yiyo lento zimdak'iinqentsu,
yiyo lento budutyiw'ubuso benu,
ngokubila nisososula ngencind'ekrakrayo,

zibolil'iingqondo kwezo ntlokwana zenu,
zilingeke zalingek'iintliziyo bubuqhoqhololo,
maqothathaqikili ndini adl'isizwe sethu,
Ncukuth'ezimunca ubuzwe bethu,
Ndibonga bona uburhalamunca benu,
kuba namhla ziyalamb'iintsana zethu,

Andithethi ke ngamanyange,
wona adl'isonka sombulaleko,
Ngoonqantlok'imiqala yenu,
Kub'iingxowa zigqobhoke amazantsi,
Ningosigqanyaz'amehlo enu,
nirhamncazela nasezikolweni,
nithuthela nasezibhedlele,
Inene ningcolile ngokwamathumbu,

niswel'iintloni ngobuhloli,
ntlokondibo yobugqwirha kumava,
yini na ngobu burhamba,
oburhinkx'inzala yamaxolo,
yini na ngobu buphimphi,
obuphemb'idangatye lentsokolo,
siyeph'isazela senu manqath'amdaka,
luyeph'uvelwano lwenu barhiphilizi bendlala.
