Umfo kaZulu ke lo! kaNkos'yabantu kaSendelezwe kaNtuli umehl'abomvu!

uNdaba kaMageba,
Benkashana umenzi ephuz' umlazana kameva,
abakaqobo uvula ngedolo zake zehlela i'nkomo ziqonde kwaSoshangane,
bakwaZulu omyama othand' uk'gwaza inkomo zamadoda,
uZulu omyama ondlela zimhlophe!
uNdaba ohlasela ngothando elokwandis' abakwaMthaniya
uthand' uhlasela ngothand' abakwaNgwane,
zasho zanqundeka i'khali zaseNgwavuma,
nonyaka-nonyaka uhlasela ngothando phesheya koMzimkhulu!
umgag' wezul’ eliphezulu, mpondo zamila eJema!
Zamila enkomen’ abayikhungela amgudu okubhemel'.
uDlothovu akabhekek' uyesabeka ufan’ nemsebe yelanga.
Dlothovu dlala abantu bakho bakulingene!
uDlothovu njengebhubesi
umgwadlazikazi ziyethuk' ushona kwelaseNkonjane
ophumuz' abant' amaphiko! isihlahla somuthi!
ubhensa behlab' ngemva nangaphambili"
...ngiyema lapho!
Ake ningisize bo!

Ndlangamandla kaNkosi okaDlamini, oSiwela oMphazima kaLanga abaseMadlovini!
