Msituni nikakuta, nyuki wamo mzingani,
Kwa juhudi wanakita, mara nje mara ndani,
Husuda wameikata, hata hawasengenyani,
Nyuki ni wadudu duni, wanashinda kwa umoja
Mchwa nao nikaona, wamejenga masikani,
Wafanya bidii sana, uvivu hawatamani,
Wao husaidiana, tena hawadanganyani,
Mchwa wadudu wa chini, wanaishi kwa umoja
Nalo jeshi la siafu, hutandawaa njiani,
Laenda bila ya hofu, maana ajiamini,
Silaha zao dhaifu, meno, tena hawaoni
Wa kuwatadia nini ? Kwani wanao umoja.
Nao chungu wachukuzi, nyama warima njiani,
Masikini wapagazi, mizigo yao kichwani,
Ingawa si wachokozi, wakali ukiwahini,
Katu hawafarakani, wanadamu kwa umoja.
Sisi ni wana Adamu, mbona hatusikizani,
Tusitietie hamu, ukubwa kuutamani,
Wachache wataalamu, tuwasadi kwa imani,
Hii “Huyu awezani,” yatuvunjia umoja

Alipokwenda kwao, mamaye alimwambia,
Nipa fedha au nguo, nataka kwenda tumia!
Nikosapo hivi leo, nipa kisu tajitia !
Huzunguka akilia kwa maana ya uketo
Ndipo mamaye kawaza, pamwe na kuzingatia,
Fedha zako umesoza, na leo zimekwisha,
Kisu sikukukataza, twaa upate jitia!
Mbele zangu n’ondokea! Wende na ukiwa wako!
Ulipogeuka nondo, nguo ukazingilia,
Kakaka kwa vishindo, usisaze hata moya,
Leo wanuka uvundo, wambeja wakukimbia!
Mbele zangu n’ondokea ! Wende na ukiwa wako!
Ukijigeuza nyama, kama Simba ukilia,
Watumwa ukawaegema, ukawla wote pia,
Pasi kuona huruma, kutoa wahurumia,
Mbona hukuzingatia? Wende na ukiwa wako!
Si mimi naliokupa, ukata huo, sikia!
Kwamba utakuja hapa, nipate kuondolea,
Naapa thama, naapa, sina la kukutendea!
Mbele zangu n’ondokea! Wende na ukiwa wako!
Tamati, nalikomile, ni hayo nalokwambia,
Hapahitaji kelele na kujirisha mabaya,
Na kwamba yakutukie, sema yapate n’elea!
Zidi radhi kuniwea ! Wende na ukiwa wako!
