UMsimude owavela ngesiluba,
Phakathi kwamaNgisi namaQadasi,
INkonjane edukel’ezulwini,
Unowela muva wawoShaka,
Mdayi sabela kweliphesheya
Izalukazi ziyosala emanxiweni,
Amaxhegu ayosala emizileni
ISikhukhulane sikaNdaba
Esikhukhu’omame sabentshatha
saze zababeka ezinkwazini zemifula
EZinkwazini zoThukela
UNdaba uwele ngelasoDlokweni
UGagangamanzi angawesi mlomo
Amanz’odw’azosal’ebabaza
Izimvubu kazikhexi’imilomo
Izingwenya zaphephel ezintabeni
UMnguni wahlalaphansi
Wavumis’izindaba ezinkulu
Ezikhulunywa kubo kwaMalandela
Wakhandizihlangu
Wezikhandel’enkamangweni
Wakh’izindlu ngezinzala zotshani
Wakhamaguma ngomsingizana
We uz’iMpofana neNdaka
Wath’uMzinyathi
Ngiyowubuza phambili koSilevu
Wathukuthela phakathi kwezinyanga ezimbili
Phakathi kukaNhlangula noNhlangulana
Wayophuma Phakathi kweDlinza neShowe
Iziqu zemithi zabheka phezulu
Waphuma Phakathi kukaMphahlela
noMaqhwakazi
iziqu zemithi zabheka phezulu
INkwenkwezi kaNdaba
Ephume izilwane zabikelana
Kubikelane iKhwezi neSilimela
Gijimani ngazozonke izindlela
Niyobikela uMaphitha noTokotoko
Nithi impikayibizwa yithi
Nithi ibizwa nguMadela
Ngowakithi kwaMalandela
Wadel’izinkomo
Wazinikamadoda
Wathi yiwona ayomhlabanela
Wathi ayihlathi lokuphephela
Wathi linjengelaseDlokweni
Wathi lingubaba lingumama
Wathi lingunongogo
Ngeqand’elilodwana
NgelekokaNgontsha
Intonga yethusi
Eyasala kweziny’izinduku
Abakithi ngibasolile
Inkosi yakithi kabayitshelanga izibuko
Bayiweza ngelezimvubu nelezingwenya
Isikhoth’esish’eThokazi
Kwaze kwash’esiseGudunkomo
IZulu elidume phezu kwaMaqong’amabili
Laduma lazithathizihlangu zoMbelebele
Lazithath’izihlangu zikaBulawayo
Lazithathizihlangu zezinyosi
lazithathizihlangu zoDlambedlu
Lazithathizihlangu zikaNodayana
Lazithathizihlangu zoMngamanqa
INhlehlanyovane kaNdaba
Ihlehlele futhingoBulawayo
Ihlehlel’izinkomo zamaSwazi
Lalelani lowomuntu omemezayo
Umemeza wengathi uyakhala
Sengathi ukhalisililo
UMalandela benoSidubelo
Banonina kaPhenduka
Bememeze behlez’eMfihlweni
Bathi godlekhwapheni
Lukhozi lukaNdaba olumaphikwabanzi
lufulel’uSomahhashi koFabesi
Lufulel’uNdengezi ezalwA nguMayibuka
Nkomo zayeHluhluwe zabuyelela
Zabuya sezinembali yamazwi
Nkomo zakhuphuka zithweliNingizimu
Nangezimpondo
Ziyabuya sezithwel’iNyakatho Nangezimpondo
Weza nezibhaxa ezimbili
Ezinye sengathi nguNomampo
Ezinye sengathi singiNoziqubu
Weza noMalambule kwabakaSobhuza
Yibinda Nkosi…!
