Ipapo Bhiridhadhi muShuhi akapindura akati: “Kusvika riniko uchivhima mashoko? Nzwisisa, ipapo tigozotaura. Nei tichibatwa semombe, tichiverengwa samapenzi pamberi pako? Iwe unozvibvarura-bvarura nehasha dzako— nyika ingasiyiwa nokuda kwako here, kana dombo ribviswe panzvimbo yaro? Hongu, chiedza chowakaipa chinodzimwa, uye murazvo womoto wake unodzima. Chiedza chinosviba mutende rake, uye mwenje uri pamusoro pake unodzima. Nhanho dzake dzesimba dzinotapudzwa, uye mano ake pachake anomuwisira pasi. Tsoka dzake pachake dzinomupinza mumumbure, uye anofamba achipinda zvakananga mumambure awo chaiwo. Musungo unomubata nechitsitsinho; rugombe runomubatisisa. Chihambakwe chakavanzirwa iye muvhu, uye musungo wakamugaririra munzira yake. Zvinotyisa zvinomuvhundutsa kumativi ose uye zvinomudzingirira kuzvitsitsinho zvake. Simba rake rinopera nenzara, uye njodzi yakagadzirira kuwa kwake. Zvinodya zvidimbu zveganda rake; dangwe rorufu rinodya mitezo yake. ^a Anobvutwa kubva pakuchengetedzeka kwetende rake uye anofambiswa achiendeswa kuna mambo wezvinotyisa. Moto unogara mutende rake, risisiri rake; safuri inopisa inoparadzirwa pamusoro pomusha wake. Midzi yake inooma nechapasi, uye matavi ake anosvava nechokumusoro. Kurangarirwa kwake kunopera panyika, uye haana zita mumigwagwa. Anodzingwa kubva muchiedza achiiswa murima uye anodzingirwa kunze kwenyika. Haasiyi mwana kana chizvarwa pakati pavanhu vake, hakuna anosara paaimbogara. Vari kumavirira vanovhundutswa nezvakamuwira, uye vari kumabvazuva vanobatwa nokutya. Zvirokwazvo ndizvo zvinoitika kudzimba dzowakaipa, nzvimbo yeuyo asingazivi Mwari.”
