Izinkondlo: Nkosi sikhuleka kuwe ngomthandazo,

Thelu musa nkos’ ujesu thelu musa
Naba bantwana bakho ngiyababona balel’ emgwaqeni,
Naz’ ingane zakho zilal’ phans’ emabrigin,
Naba bembeth’ amakhathoni,
Emini bebecel’ ushintsh’ edolobheni,
Baphush’ inqola ezitolo,
Bagad’ izimoto emapak’
Ekugcinen kosuku ilanga liyashona bengatholanga ngish’ ingogo,
Usuku luyaphel’ abadlile abakutholang okuy’ ethunjin okok’bamb’ umoya,
Nkos’ thel’ umusa uxolele laph’ abone khona,
Uthethelele izono namacala abo,
Udedel’ injabulo nempumelelo ezindleleni abanyathela kuzo,
Thel’ umusa Mdali wezulu,
Ngiyimbongi yomzulu ngilethu usiz’ engilibona phansi koMthunzi welanga,

Siyafa siyaphel’ isizwe sakho,
Izolo bengifihl’ ugogo,
Namhlanje ngifihl’ ubhut’ omncan’ ongelamayo,
Kusasa ngobe ngifihl’ umama kanti mina ngizoncwatshwa ubani na?
Nalombulalazw’ udlangile ugwaz’ ugwazile,
Ugadl’ ugadlile,
Ugawula komncane ugawule kosakhula kant’ uqale wathatha omdala,
Ubaba umama nogogo sekumthathile,
Intandane esele ngemuva nayo futhi isiyagula,
Imizi yabanumzane ivalwe ngamahlahla,
Sekwasala amanxiwa namaxhiba akakwe amaliba.
Sishaya imilolozelo yesililo sikaNandi,
Siphuz’ amanzi kaNala,
Imitholampilo igcwele iyaphuphuma,
Izibhedlela zigcwele ziyaqhuma,
isizwe siphila ngamaphilisi ikhambi lokulapha liphilise liyaphik’ ukusiqeda lesiqedazwe esesival’ imizi ngehlahla,
Odokodela sebephithane amakhanda,
Isandulela ngculaza siyaziphihlizela siqoba siyavungula,
Mihla namalanga kukhon’ oyedwa weth uzoshiy’ inyama,
Umhlab’ uphelile sekukade sigcwaba,
Isizwe siphelile ngisicelela kuwe Ngonyama yeZulu sihlenge,
Ngiyimbongi yomzulu ngikhuleka kuwe ngomthandazo ngileth’ ukukhala kwesizwe,
Thelu musa Nkosi yaseMazululwini
Nalapha engingasafikanga khona Nkosi Jesu thelu musa, uSenzokhaya
