Ineza itashye umutima wanjye
Utera weruye uti «ndashimye »,
Dushira icyusa bishyira kera,
Tuvuga icyarimwe ko bukeye,
N'ubwo umunsi uzira ikemange
Wakenderaga tuwureba.
Imirase y' imirenganazuba
Ubwo imwitekaho mu ruhanga
Imana yunamuye nk' uruhamo,
Imaze kumwuzuraho uruhande
Iti « cyo mutereze ku ruhimbi,
Witse imivugo imuhimbaye.»
Njya kumuhimba ndamuharamba,
Muharira iminwe ndayimuharaga,
Nterurira i mutwe ndera igituza,
Nshutsa ibyano ngarura mu nda,
Ntemba ku matako n' imirundi,
Ngwa ku kirenge nkimuririmba.
Umurerwa nsanze atagira ikirega,
Ahubwo abengerana nk' ikirezi,
Nti « izina nkwise uri ikirenga ».
Twararambanye mu ruhando,
Tugumya kwiharira urwo ruhuge,
Rwa ruhuri rw' indeberezi
Turaruheza ruguma hirya
Umutima utera nk' utakiriho,
Kuko watururutswe ugatuza.
Tumaze kwitsa ikiganiro,
Ijosi arigondana umugwi mwiza
Ringwa ku rutugu nti «kagwire.»
Yanshyize umutima ku gituza,
Sinishanya ndora icyo gitego,
Nsanga amaso ateretse inkesha,
Akina ibinyonga by' urunyenyeri.
Maze gushima iyo nshara yanjye,
Nti « seka ndebe uko undenza umucyo,
Maze ducyahe ijoro nyamwinshi,
Tucyifubitse umunezero.»
Umubiri wose wiyongera ishya,
Rwa ruhanga rw' uruhehemure
Rugumya kogeza urwo ruhanika. .../...
