UTHANDO

Ngangikwazi weng Thando
Ngisithi kekho othandayo,
Ngisithi ngeke ngatanda.
Ngaze ngahlangana igwe Thando iaotso.

Thando awuphangi kuzonda,
Thando uletha injabulo
Thando uyakhalisa
Nyembezi zothando uyinjabulo.

Thando waze wangakha.
Ubuzanka bonke ngakubeka phansi
Ngaqalake ukuphila.
Ungekho Thando ugiba yisiduki.

Thando uyisimanga
Thando uyinjabulo
Thando ungumngane
Angilawo lamazwi okukowchaza
