Ta Njiira Wee Muraangiri

[1]
Ta njĩĩra we mũraangĩri, Kũrathererũka atĩa!
Riiri ũcio wa Zayuni, kwĩ na marũũri maguo?
Wee Mũgeendi ndũgĩũkĩre, ũrorete matu-inĩ,
Warahũke wĩhotore, Tondũ rĩu nĩkũrakĩa.

[2]
Mũraangĩri kiũmĩrĩrie, nĩũmũrĩkĩirũo njĩra,
Marũũri ma gũũka gwake, Mũthenya wĩ hakuhĩ;
Rĩrĩa coro ũrĩhuuhwo, arĩa akuũ maarahũke,
Andũ a Ngai arĩa atheru, Nĩmakaheeo muoyo.

Mũrangĩri one ũkeengi, wa mwaka wa Thabatũ;
Mĩgaambo nĩĩranĩrĩra, ũthamaki nĩmũkinyu,
Mũgeendi niĩ nĩndĩroona, Kĩrĩma gĩa Zayuni,
Mũciĩ wa Jerusalemu, O na ũthaka waguo.

[4]
Mũthamaki aikarĩte, mũciĩ ũcio mũthaka,
Gĩtĩ-inĩ gĩake kĩega, Nĩho athamakagĩra,
Kwĩ na thaayũ kũũndũ guothe, o na bũũthi mĩgũũnda-inĩ;
Tĩĩri naguo wĩ na ũnoru, Na njũũĩ nĩihoreire.

Mũrangĩri twĩ hakuhĩ, Bũrũri ũcio mũthaka,
Tũthiĩ mbere tũkenete, Bũrũri waa gĩkeno,
Thikĩrĩria kwĩ na rũĩmbo, Rũa arĩa mahonoketio;
Nawe ndũkĩĩrutanĩrie, ũtuĩke wa rũĩmbo rũu
