Incwadi yothando ngesiZulu

Namhlanje ngizwe ngathi ngingabhala incwadi yothando ngesiZulu

Thath isandla sami usivumele sikusondeze enhliziyweni yami

Ubumbhano lwethu akukho okungaluhlakaza

Umangikubona ngiyengizwe intokozo emangalisayo

Esikhathini esifishane kangaka usungizwise uthando olumangalisayo

Futhi ngiqinisekile ngoba inhliziyo ayinamanga

Ingqondo kuphela ekwazi ukwakha amaqhinga

Indlela osungithinte ngayo akukholakali

Ukumamatheka kwakho kuqhakazisa usuku lami

Ukukhazimula kwamehlo akho kushokwezinkanyezi

Ukuthambha kwezindebe zakho mangabe ngikuqabula

O he! Ngiyabikelwa isizungu mangabe usuhambile

Mangabe usho ngezwilakho elimnene uthi “ngiyakuthanda sithandwa sami” Kuvele kuhlasimule umzimbha ngivukwe uhlevane

Ngangingazi ukuthi nami ngiyoze ngiphinde ngiluthole uthando olungaka

Sthandwa sami ngesinye isikhathi mawulele eceleni kwami

Ngivele ngiphelelwe amazwi

Ungaxwayi mawuza ngikugijima ngesandla sami ohlangothini lakho lwesinxele

Ngisuke ngifuna ukuzwa uthando lakho bukhoma.

Oh! Kodwa sthandwa sami ngifisa ngathi uthando lwethu lungafana nendilinga, lungabi nasiphetho.
