- Zase zimbonga zathi tjiyo…tjiyo…tjiyo!
- uBhabha ku Gwaza

Mbeje, Mndaba, Mlotsha,
Magwaz’aphindelele njengezulu,
Mavungama!
Wena owavungamela uMvelase evela eNyandeni;
Dladla, Mpembe, Mhlophe, Gadlela, Dwala…
Mgabadeli gokugabadela inkundla kwa Bulawayo; Mgabadeli ngokugabadela izinkomo zamadoda;
Wena owaMbatha isikhumba seNyathi uZulu esahambaze!
Wena owaba ngu Ndabezitha! kuqala!
Baze bazama ukuthatha iziBongo zakho ngamaqhinga;
Wasala uzisebenzisa njengoba usazisebenzisa namanje;
Manyosi wena owadla intondolo yembuzi yonke wayiqeda ilanga liphuma waze wehlisa ngomhluzi wayo;
NDABEZITHA!!
NDABA KOMKHULU!!
