Mbatha,
Shandu kaNdaba,
Sontshikaze, Manyosi,
Gumbi lamagwala,
UShandu akangakanani,nasentendeni yesandla engahlala,
Nasothini lomkhonto uyenela,
Mthiya ngenkomo abafokazana bethiya ngamahlahla,
Shandu owalima insimu wayilimela izinyoni,
Zase zimbonga zathi tshiyo! tshiyo!
Bhabha Magwaza,
Nkentenkente,
Olwakhela izintaba zase Nhlazatshe,
Kwaze kwaphuma abafazi bengabhincile,
Bathi ingabe lolu nkentenkente lwenzani,
Ndaba koMkhulu,
Ndabezitha!
Dlaba,
Shukulas’, Mnomiya,
Dludle,
Dludl’owadl’imihlambi yamadoda,
Wadl’izinkomo zamaNdebele,
Oyodl’ezikaDlaba uyoceba,
Dlab’ akadleli phansi,
Udle’ edlodlweni,
Abanye bedlela phansi,
Mavulane owavul’ iNkandl’ivaliwe,
Mchube, Mlotshwa,
Wena kaLumbazo, kaZokufa,
Sigananda phum’eNkandla!
Makhathini,
Xabhashe,
Donda wasEnkweleni,
Khuhla phansi njenge khowandlovu,
Ntulikabongwa ubonga yena uzona umlomo,
Wena owashaya phansi kwavela abantu nezinkomo,
Sonkophe,
Sombizi!
Khathini,

Ngonyama yenduna,

Nxamalala,
Mdlovu,
Mafahleni,
Nina baka Lugaju kaMatomela KaShisa,
Mashingizela ashiye impi yakhe,
Dwala elibushelelezi,
Maphum’ephethe inyama ngala, amasi ngapha nobukhosi amasi ngapha nobukhosi phambili!
Ndima,
Bayeni,
Sibhuzi esimqala!
Sothole,
Sodumase,
Madevu aqgabul’inkomishi,
Phokophalala mnikolusha ngoba oludala lumbangela isilungulelo,
Shiy’abantu,
Nyongo yendlovu,
Madl’umlenze adele isidumbu,
Madubandlela,
Ngwane,
Mcwayi,
Gubhazi, Mlindeli,
Somaphunga,
Mdlaka!
