Emanyangeni Poem by Nkululeko Mdudu

Ingqiqo engqingqwa
Ingqamene nqo
Neengqondi ezigqibeleleyo.

Ubuciko obuchubekileyo
Nobuchwepheshe
Obu nomceli-mngeni,

Yinqaba kumaqaba
Aqine iingqondo,
Aqamb' into zomqqala.

Ndithi ndothi ndakuthetha
Kuthule amathongo ethangweni,
Kuthimle ootatomkhulu
Kothuke namathongorha.

Ndenjenje ndijonge
kwaJama kaSjadu
KwaJojo nakwaJingqi
Ndijoj' umjojo maJola.

Cishe chebetyu
Ndichamel' enkcenkceni,
Ndiwuchith' enkcochoyini
Ndichukush' amaCirha!

Wona awa
Awolwa eyimilwelwe
nguTshawe obesilwa
nabakhuluwa, Whoo!

Enye inyulwa
Ibingunyana emanyangeni,
Yanyathela kuhle yanyuselwa,
Yanyembezana Inyathi emnyama
Unyana onkhulu kaNkosiyamntu

Kwagagana ingwe nengonyama
Yangu gulukungqu, kungekho inokusimama,
Yagaleleka imirhaji yakwaRudulu
Edabini leenduku yadib' umkhonto.
Egazini, othulini kuyilonto,
Zabuya zavana, Sele inguTshawe inkulu.
