Kwintlambo yeAl-Aqiq sahlangana,

thina nabo banamehlo amnyama

Ucinga ntoni ngoMpambani kaLayla?

Wahlupheka ngenxalenye nje yolu phambano

Oh amehlo am, indlela andidinileyo ngayo,

nasezikope zam, indlela ezindishiyileyo ngayo

Oh ntliziywana yam, yiba nomonde,

kwabo bandishiyileyo

Ndahlukana nabo ngoMvulo,

ngentsasa yangoLwesibini, ndandinesizungu ngaphandle kwabo

Ngamakhosi anesidima abandishiyileyo,

ndilila iinyembezi zegazi emehlweni am

Ndalila kwade kwanentaka,

ezisemasebeni zandisizela

NgoThixo, ukuba ndifa lulangazelelo,

ndihlambeni ngeenyembezi zam

Ndilileleni nize nithi,

"Nanku obulewe ngala mehlo."

Ndandisajikeleza izilwanyana zokukhwela,

ndicenga, "NgoThixo, ndithwaleni

Ndise kumakhaya abantu bam!"

Bahamba ngaphandle kokundivalelisa

Hamba, sithunywa sam, uye kubo,

ngxama, kwaye wange izandla zabo

Bagqithisele imibuliso yam,

mhlawumbi bangandemkela

Isithunywa sam size kum sincumile,

sathi, "Vuya, kuba uxolelaniso lolwakho!

Isibophelelo sesonka netyuwa sisekhona,

bandithembisile ukuba niza kuhlanganiswa nabo"
