رَجْعُ الصَّدَى (الفصل الثاني)

At the shore , the Ocean waves hurried to greet us,
And settled in serenity at our toes.
And the waiting Ships flashed their glittering lights,
Signalling a warm welcome to us.

Phe-Zulu we climbed
Almost touching the Sky,
To meet the descendant of Shaka Zulu,
And to observe a day in the life of the Zulu.

Down the narrow twisting lane
We made our way,
To the Zulu Kraal,
Overlooking the valley of thousand hills.

At the center of the Kraal
The pounding of drums,
And Sangoma performing his skill,
Filled us with mystery and fascinations.

We sat watching Nogma dancers,
And their songs igniting the rhythm of Africa
Deep into us.
And soon we became part of them.
