Gham-e-Ishq Mein Haara Hua Panchhi
Main apnon ka maara hua panchhi
Raahay manzil ka pata aik shikari se pooch ke
Main aik naye pinjray mein phansaya hua panchhi
Meri hurmat ka imtihan hai, aur daanay hain kam
Main maalik ka sataya hua panchhi
Chaar din ki hai zindagi, teen guzar gaye pinjray mein
Main apni taqdeer ka rulaya hua panchhi
Chehchahane se main thaka nahi, lekin chup hoon
Zang alood salakhon mein chhupaya hua panchhi
Dhoop aur barish mein dekh leta hoon aksar
Main neend se bedaar karaya hua panchhi
Lagta hai umr poori ho gayi shayad
Main pinjray se bahar uraya hua panchhi
Thandi hawa aur burhapa mera
Main aik shaakh pe baitha murjhaya hua panchhi
Toofaan hai zyada, na ghar hai koi
Main doosray panchhiyon ka khaya hua panchhi
Ye bijli ki taar hai, oonchi mehfooz bhi
Main har maut mara maraya hua panchhi

As the pencil is being sharpened
And the ink is being refilled
The pieces are coming together
As the memories are being emphasized
And the truth is being revisited
The picture is showing itself
What a poem?,
It is man
Who had capabilities
A life full of possibilities
It is a father
Who had dreams
A life full of accomplishments
The seed,
As the writing becomes writable
And the writer acknowledges her writings
The pieces are showing an individual
As the recollection of events are coming under the surface
And the thoughts are being revisited
The picture is showing the owner
What a poem?

As the audiences watched
In amazement
The truth was formulated
As the events started to unfold
In anticipation
The individual was respected
Salute to you LETA,
Is ìt the sequence of events
That led back to the rose pink shoe
It is the evidence
Is it the seventeen years of endurance
That revealed the truth
It is the owner of the shoe
Case closed,
As the words were written
In a spiritual manner
The truth was imperative
As the protocol was observed
In a state of affairs
The individual was honoured
Salute to you LETA.

The ancestors sequence,is something
That is felt all over the world
The embracement of unity
The humanitarian sequence,is something
That is needed all over the world
The unification of a nation
Peaceful as it lands,
Be grateful, Mboyi
For what has been achieved
It's priceless
Be honored, Leta
For what has been accomplished
It's ancient
A modification of a legacy,
The holiest sequence,is something
That stipulate the existence of the unspoken tongues
The releasement of what needs to be said
The truthfulness of the sequence,is something
That is much needed all over the world
The responsibility of one's being
Peaceful as it settles in its place

As the bones of the forefathers
Find their way
May you sit on top
And observe your work
As there is more to come NDESANA
I journey is not a journey
Until it is taken Qwashu
Constructively as it formulates
A song is not a song
Until it is sang MBOYI
Silently as it builds up
A dream is not a dream
Until it has been lived NGAYIBANJWA
Dreamy eyes saw a path
Yet it does not have a title VULAMASANGO
As the votes of the forefathers
Foresee your existence
May you be blessed abundantly
And be free
As there is freedom to be utilized LETA

When thunderstorms comes
When wind blows
When seasons change
Fear not
I will wipe those tears from your eyes
I will put a smile on your face
I will bring the moon to you
Fear not
When plans fall apart
When the heart becomes empty
When discrimination takes place
Fear not
I will bring glory to you
I will do what is necessary
I will sustain you
Fear not, I am your father

Do not be anxious for anything
The spots are for camouflage
It continues
The red is yet to be disclosed
It has always been there
Do not humble yourself for anyone
The love that is given
Is the love that should be kept
The kindness that is released
Is the kindness that should be received
Do not hide yourself from the world
It might learn a thing or two
And you might be what it needs
It might be an empty vessel without you
And you might be a fully equipped individual

Nikal k dil ko sine se, rakh du Teri kadmo me,
Dar h k tu ise kahi kuchal na de,
Khwahise mohabbat to tere dil me b h,
Dar h k tu ise kahi badal na de.
Majboor h mera dil apni aadto se,
Tujhe dekh har baar fishalta h,
Tu dur rah meri nazro se,
zra iss dil ko to sambhalne de.
Ishqe izaazat dil ko hamne naa di,
ye to teri adaaon ka maara h,
Tere pyar me mere bahke kadam,
Aur mera dil bechara h,
Sambhal leta iss dil ko,
phr socha thora tere pyar me ise jalne de.
Nazro ne dekha aur ho gai mujhse pyar ki khata,
Zra in nazro ko inke khata ki sza to Milne de.
Dil ka kya kasoor tha jb tumse nazre mili,
Dil toota kai baar, jb szaae mohabbat mili,
Rok leta dil ko apne,
phr socha zraa mohabbat me iss dil ko pighalne de.
Nikal k dil ko sine se, rakh du Teri kadmo me,
Dar h k tu ise kahi kuchal na de.

If there was a shop of happiness
And If I knew about it
I would buy every happiness for you
Even if my life be the price of it..!
Kaash koi khushiyon ki dukaan hoti
Aur mujhe uski pehchaan hoti
Khareed leta har khushi aapke liye
Chahe uski keemat meri jaan bhi hoti..!
