Izibongo zeNkosi uNdaba
UNdaba kaSonani bathi: ‘Wonani’?
Abantu behlezi nemihlambi yabo.
EyawoMababela wakoGabela.
Ozingel’ amahlath’ azavungama,
Az’ athi ‘Nhiya Nhi’
Namuhla kakunyamazana
Az’ amlobolele ngentshontsho lempunzikazi.
Obeyalala wangangemifula,
Obeyavuka wangangezintaba.
UTshikazana lwakithi lwakwaGcabashe
Luya luhlezi luya ludlondlobele,
Lubek’ izihlang’ emadolweni,
Luqaphel’ imihlambi yezindlakubi,
YawoMababela wakoGabela.
