Enkosi Bawo Poem by Andiswa Mvanyashe

Ungawabamba na lo mathontsi eyembezi
Esithi chiphi chiphi ezandleni zakho
Ungawuthwla na lo mthwal’ osinda nedonki yam
Ungasimela na esosikhalo esivela kwintliziyo eyophukile

Hayi wena ungumadida
Kuba wenza okudida abantu
Ngoba ndiyazi kuwe ezo zinto sisiqhelo
Sikhala sisondele
Abanye bahleka bebhekela

Babuya bekhokhoba
Babuya betake taka
Babuya bophukile
Kodwa wena usoloko wamkela

Buyini na ubomi ngaphandle kwakho?
Kuba nguwe ithemba, nguwe ubomi
Nguwe inyaniso, nguwe uNdikhoyo!
Enkosi Bawo!
