Izibongo zeLembe uShaka kaSenzangakhona {King Shaka’s praise poem}

UDlungwana KaNdaba! UDlungwana woMbelebele, Odlung’ emanxulumeni, Kwaze kwas’ amanxulum esibikelana. UNodumehlezi kaMenzi, UShaka akashayeki kanjengamanzi, Ilemb’ eleq’ aamnye amalembe ngokukhalipha; UShaka ngiyesaba ukuthi nguShaka, UShaka kuyinkosi yasemaShobeni. Bayede!
