Angizidele amathambo ngithathe lelithuba,
Ngicele izwi kuMdali ngihaye nganasi isimomondiya,
Esihle esisho ngezinwele ezingathi ezasendiya,
Umadlula uphenduke, uzwi limzwilili,
Ubuhle bendalo naye ebe wadalwa wabekwa emazweni nguMdali.
Ngisho intombi yakwaZulu,
Smomondiya sakwaZulu,
Wena muntu wasemazweni,
Ezigodini zakwa Zulu lena komama ongemama,
Kamhlaba uyalingana lena kwandaba zabantu,
Ngisho wena nduku enhle egawulwa ngamazw’ amnandi,
Wena manzam’ toti angaphuzwa izishimane,
Nami nje sengizidel’ amathambo ngath’ angithath’ ithami nje libe linye
Ngike zidelis’ ngalomoya oshaya lapha eduze kwakho,
Yima phela ntombi musa ukubaleka,
Ngizothi thansi nje ngamazwi ambalwa,
Sengikubhekabheke izikhathi ezimbalwa engingathi uma ngizibala ngingaze ngiphelelwe iminwe,
Ngithe ngisakubhekile ngaye ngahlaselwa nawudlame lokubalekelwa amagama,
Ngithe uma ngithumela amehlo ami kulesisidumbu sakho ngashaywa uvalo,
Ngabhaklazwa inzululwane ngabona amalulwane emini ilanga libalele,
Sengibaleke ngath galo yephuka sengikhathele izinsizi zobushimane,
Ngincede muntuza ngikuthathe siye kwelakithi kankomo kayixoshwa zibe ziningi ziswel’ abelusi.
Sengilinde iminyaka nezinyanga nezinsuku ngishaya lesisithingithingi,
Izitimela zima zidlula zigcwala phambi kwahlo ami,
Amathemba ami asehleli lapho emahlombe akho,
Sengingasho nje ngamafuphi ngithi ulithemba lami,
Mbali yami enhle,
Muthunzi wami wokuphumula,
Bambo lwami,
Nduku yami enhle yakwazulu ezizweni,
Ntokazi yomzulu,
Yazi uma ngikubheka umile umomotheka,
Ngizwa ngivukelwa amadlingosi kuze kuthi angithi azibuyele emasisweni sidle ngoludala,
Kuye kuthi angikuthwale siduke nezwe,
Angikaze ngibe sepharadise futh angikaze ngidize,
Kodwa nje ngizibona ngindiza nawe siya epharadise,
Ngize ngifise nje ukuth siqale phansi impilo,
Wena ube u Eva mina ngibe uDamu ensimini yase Edeni,
Sihlale sobabili sidlale ezihlahleni sikudele okomhlaba nezinsizi zakuli elikaMthaniya,
Ntokazi yomzulu,
Nasekhaya impela bengathokoza,
Sebebona indodana yolahleko ibuya isilutholile ubambo lwayo,
Bamba isandla sami ngike ngizwe ubunofonofo baleso sandla,
Woza siye laphayana eshashalazini udanse nami,
Ngibheke emehlweni ami ungitshele nje amagama amnandi,
Hlala lapha eduze kwami ulamele esifubeni sami,
Ulalel’ ukubalisa kwenhliziyo yami
Awu kodwa mntanomuntu ungenzani,
Wangithatha la wangibeka lana wangisusa lana wangibeka lana,
Aw kodwa ntokazi yakwa Zulu.
Nakhona kwaZulu impela sebezolala ngenxeba oZulumama,
Impela ngiyakweba mbali enhle,
Ngiyohlobisa ngawe le kaMhlaba uhlosile,
Nginezinhloso ngawe mina ngihlabahlosile angihlosile ukudlala ngawe,
Ngithi ngiyakuthatha sisi Ndihamba nawe,
Bamba nasi isandla sami sijubalale njengezinyoni zezulu,
Asinyamalale sihambe siyokwakha elethu izulu,
Ntokazi yakwaZulu
Mina nawe sizophelela ekupheleni komhlaba ntombi yakwaZulu.
Awethu amathemba azosala esibhakabhakeni,
Azohlotshiswa ngezinkanyezi zezulu,
Zinde nalezo zindlela engazihamba ngiya kwaZulu.
Mathe amnandi masiqabulane,
Ndebe zimandi zingiconcis’ amathe,
Ze kuthi angikubambe khona laph’ esindlangalaleni ngithi nje manqa,
Mlomo mnandi othetha amagama amnandi,
Akitaz’ imizwa yami ngigcine sengiphimisa sengithi ngiyakuthanda ntokazi.
Aw kodwa ntokazi yakwazulu.

Royalty from Zulu last name
Founder of the Zulu clan, son of Malandela. When Malandela died, he divided the kingdom into two clans, the Qwabe and the Zulu. Zulu I established the royal lineage that would eventually unite numerous clans into the powerful Zulu nation.
Founder of the Zulu Kingdom and one of the most influential monarchs in African history. Through military innovation and strategic conquests, he transformed a small chiefdom into a powerful empire that dominated much of present-day KwaZulu-Natal. His policies and military reforms created the foundations of Zulu identity and power.
Half-brother of Shaka who reigned from 1840 to 1872. He had at least 28 children by different wives, many of whom have living descendants. His reign saw the Zulu kingdom maintain its independence while navigating complex relationships with Boer settlers and British colonial forces.
Son of Mpande who led the Zulu nation during the Anglo-Zulu War of 1879. His forces achieved a famous victory at the Battle of Isandlwana but were ultimately defeated. He was later restored as king before his death in 1884.
Longest-reigning Zulu monarch, ruling for nearly 50 years from 1971 to 2021. He had six wives and 28 children. He revived cultural practices including the annual Reed Dance ceremony to promote pride in Zulu traditions and HIV awareness. He was a direct descendant of King Cetshwayo, who led the Zulu nation during the 1879 war against the British army.
Current reigning monarch of the Zulu nation, installed in 2021 following the death of his father. His mother was Queen Mantfombi Dlamini, daughter of King Sobhuza II of Eswatini. As the son of the “Great Wife” whose lobola was paid by the nation, he is the rightful heir according to Zulu tradition. His reign has faced legal challenges from other branches of the royal family but continues with the support of millions of Zulu people.
