Amaqhalo abantu abamnyama maninzi kakhulu, kwaye inkoliso yawo iqheliwe isaziwa; ngoko ke asisenakwandisa ubukhulu bale ncwadi ngokungena ekuwatyhileni onke into athetha yona, koko sesiyakuwabeka nje kodwa lawo siwaziyo, siyekele kubafundi bethu ukuba bazenzele. Noko ke, siza kukhe sityhile abe mbalwa, ngeenjongo zokubonisa ubukhulu benyaniso equlethwe kula kakuhle.
 Umlingi akaphezi
 Amathumbu esikhwenene
 Ukhwekhwe lwexhwili
 Yindaba yakwantombi
 Ukubhed'idlaba 
 Akukho nkang'idubul'ingethi
 Unyawo alunampumlo
 Ubhodl'usambosa
 Iqaqa aliziva kunuka
 Akukho nzwan'ingenasiphako
 Isisila senkukhu sibonwa mhla ligquthayo
 Umhlahlo ngamehlo
 Imbila yaswel'umsila ngokuyalezela
 Umvundl'uzek'indlela
 Ubeba uyakwendel'enkosini kanti uyakwendela kumfokazana
 Esinamandla sesidlayo
 Irhamncwa elinamandla lelidlayo
 Enethunga ayisengelwa phantsi
 Indod'imba kweny'emqolo
 Isala kutyelwa sibona ngolophu
 Isiziba siviwa ngodondolo
 Olwabatsha luyaphindana
 Kuhla ngamqala mnye
 indlovu ayisindwa ngumboko wayo
 Kugawulwa owaziwayo
 umlomo awunasiziba
 Isityeba mva sinqol'intaba
 Esihleliyo sidl'ukuhlala, esiphilayo sesithwethwayo
 Igugu lingabalikhulu umbomb' uyaqhosha
 Yakun'imvula kuhlokoma nendlela
 Ubeba uyakuzeka ekaSambutsutsu, kanti uyakuzeka ekaSihlongonya
 Ungalahl'imbo yakho ngoPhoyiyana
 Indaba yotyelo ayikholi
 Inja ayinukiselwa yikaka yayo
 Alumlanjana ungagqumiyo
 Umntwan'uyakufana nonina, kuba angathi afane noyise abe ugodukile
 Umang'ashiyw'emzini
 Neqaqa liyagquma kowalo umngxuma
 Uyakukholwa yeyokosa 
 Akubulelwa luvayo 
 ukubamb'isisila sehobe
 [[Wod'ufunyanwe
 Inkungu ilala kwiintaba ngee ntaba
 Ukwanda kwaliwa ngumthakathi
 Kosengw'ikati
 UmaNqumane utshay'eluphondweni
 Inkukhu isikwe umlomo 
 koda kufike abahamba ngamlenzana mnye
 UDingiwe wadudelwa nguJambase
 Kuxhelw' eXhukwana
 Iseme lizalela elubala
 Intsiza mbulala
 Lanquma inqathe
 Uxam wakholwa ngamantintinti
 Isikhuni sibuya nomkhwezeli
 Umthath'uyawuzal'umlotha
 Ukuzalwa wedwa ngumlu wanyama 
 Ungaz'uy'ebizelweni
 Elokufa alityeli
 Le nto umntu iyemka nok'ibongwayo 
 ndoyise'ivuthiwe
 Ikhotha eyikhothayo, zingaba mbini ziyakhothana
 Ing'iyayikhotha kant'iyayixathula
 Kungaf'intak'enkulu amaqand'ayabola
 "Ingwe idla ngamabala"
 Akukho Nkwal'iphandel'el'enye
 Ephandel'enye yenethole
 "Ukuba nguQelezana"
 "Umkhomb'ubhembesile"
 Inehibi yamanzi ifa ngamanzi, eyezikhali ifa ngezikhali
 Lilishwa lomhluzi wamanqina
 Sisu sigabh'amasi, soda sigabh'amamzi
 Liyagaya liyacola eli litye
 Ucwalamb'uyabila, impuk'iyakhwezela
 Aziphali ngakunye
 azidli mmangweni mnye
 Ayibaleki zibayeni zibini
 Nocweth'uzibon'ubukhulu
 Ububele bufun'obunye
 Ulunya lubiza olunye
 Ndiyakumbetha ngolukaBhenya
 Nok'inyok'ifileyo, ithambo layo lihlaba umntu afe
 Yinyama yamakhwenkwe
 Ndokuph'amathumb'esikhwenene
 Lukhwekhwe lwakwa-Ntshweza 
 Sisinama ndokunamathela
 Ndinomtha wedolo
 Wokhube nguQelezana
 "Ngumkhomb'ubhembesile"
 "Linqweme lentulo"
 Kuhlinzw'intakumba
 Ngumsont'onyikinyiki
 Inqweme lenkawu lidliwa babini, owesithathu ngumnqakathi
 Uxam waphusile
 "Usilelwe isidudu semfe"
 Izinto azimntakaNgqika
 Ushiyw'enkangana
 Umntu asint'izityand' igila
 Into ayibethwa ngankana
 Ixhama litolwe ngabaThwa 
 Isisele sombinza
 Deda mhlangala endaweni yenyhwangi
 Umtha wedolo
 "Ukuzalwa wedwa ngumlu wanyama"
 Ngumtya nethunga
 Umcephe ucandiwe
 Itshoba lilele umbethe
 Umzingisi akanashwa
 Isini sethole sitolikwa ngunina olizeyo
 Isisu somhambi asingakanani
 Ukuzenza akunje ngakwenziwa
 Uyakulila ngasonye uxel'inkawu
 Yinjece yabantu ababini
 Yindaba yemilowo
 Ngumthi nexolo
 Oxhel'eyakhe akabuzwa
 Inkaw'ixingetyeni
 Ngamaphuth'ahlathinye
 Unyawo lwemfene
 Ixhama litolwe ngabaThwa
 Iinyosi zibenza zibutya 
 Impuku ayivalelwa neempuzi
 Ikhikhizela lihlum' esiqwini
