Rangarira Musiki wako
pamazuva ouduku hwako,
mazuva okutambudzika asati auya,
namakore asati aswedera pauchati,
“Handioni zvinofadza maari,”
zuva nechiedza uye nomwedzi
nenyeredzi zvisati zvadzima,
uye makore asati adzoka mushure mokunaya kwemvura;
kana vatariri vemba vodedera,
navarume vakasimba vokotama,
kana vakuyi vorega nokuti vashoma,
uye vaya vanotarira napamawindo voonera madzerere;
kana mikova yokunzira ichinge yapfigwa
uye maungira okukuya oderera;
kana vanhu vomutswa nokuimba kweshiri
asi nziyo dzavo dzose dzisisanzwiki zvakanaka;
kana vanhu votya nzvimbo dzakakwirira
nenjodzi mumigwagwa;
kana muamanda wotumbuka
nemhashu yozvikwekweredza
uye kuda kwose kwapera.
Ipapo munhu anoenda kumusha wake usingaperi,
uye vanochema vachafamba-famba munzira.
Murangarirei, rwodzi rwesirivha rusati rwadambuka;
uye mbiya yegoridhe isati yaputswa;
chirongo chisati chapwanyika pachitubu,
uye vhiri risati raputswa patsime,
uye guruva risati radzokera kuvhu kwarakabva,
nomweya usati wadzokera kuna Mwari akaupa.
 
Muparidzi anoti, “Hazvina maturo! Hazvina maturo!
