Kukhona
into elandela u-Unathi.
Ingolile.
Iyanuka.
Iyinunu!
U-Unathi muhle kakhulu ekugijimeni.
Inunu inhle kakhulu
ekujaheni.
U-Unathi ungcono kakhulu
ekugxumeni.
Inunu ingcono kakhulu
ekushayeni amanzi.
U-Unathi ungcono kakhulu
ekukhuphukeni.
Inunu ingcono kakhulu
ekumbeni.
Bobabili o-Unathi nenunu
bayakuthanda ukucula!
Sekuyisikhathi sokuthi u-Unathi aye ekhaya.
Inunu Engcolile
Enukayo ifuna ukuya
naye ekhaya!
“Angizifuni izinunu ezingcolile, ezinukayo endlini!”
kusho umama.
U-Unathi nenunu bayakwazi ukucasha.
U-Unathi uyakwazi
ukugqoka kahle.
Inunu ayikwazi.
U-Unathi kanye nenunu bayakwazi
ukucasha kumagwebu.
Inunu ayisangcolile.
Inunu ayisanuki.
Inunu isihlanzekile
futhi yinhle.

U-Unathi neNunu Engcolile Enukayo
