Sizonithulela nanzi iyibongo zenkosi Ushaka ka Senzangakhona
Udlungwane kaNdaba udlungane wombelebele
Odlunge emanxulubeni kwaze kwasa amanxuluba esebikelana
Unodumo ehlezi kwaMenzi usishaya asishayeki kanjengamanzi
Ilembe eleqa amanye amalembe mgokukhalipha

Ushaka ngisaba ukuthi nguShaka
Ushaka uyinkosi yasemashobeni uNomakhwelo ingonyama
Umahloma ehlathini enjengohlanya uhlanya olusemehlweni amadoda

UDabazi ithafa eliya kumfeni Nomahlovuhlovu kaSenzangakhona
Ungaqa libomvu nasekuphatheni Ubholokoqa kaZalukane Sisile
Aziqedwa iyobongo zenkosi bayede
