Chifukwa cha dziko iye anawongolera mzere wowongoka.
Pakuti kumwamba, uta uli pamwamba pake;
Malo oyera pakati pa tsiku
kudzazidwa ndi nyenyezi kwa usiku;
Kumanzere ndi kotulukira dzuwa,
kumanja kuli malo olowera dzuwa.
pamwamba ndi nthawi yamasana,
komanso mvula ndi mitambo
Mizere yopingasa ikutsika kuchokera kwa iye.
