Ngiqond’ indlel’ enyukayo
 Ngenyuka zonk’ izinsuku
 Nginguye okhulekayo
 Nkosi ngimise phezulu.

Nkosi mangi simamiseke
Emhlabeni olidundu
Endaweni ephakeme
Nkosi ngimise phezulu.

 A ngithandi ukuhlala
 Lapho kunenkan’ enkulu
 Kumb’ abanye bangahlala
 Mina ngithanda phezulu.

 Ngiph’ inhlalw’ ehlanzekile
 Usathan’ uyangigwaza
 Kodw’inkolo yam’lizwile
 Nkosi ngimise phezulu.

 Ngizoqonde’ esiqongweni
 Ngibone ukukhazimula
 Ngifinyelel’ ezulwini
 Nkosi ngimise phezulu.
