[me]

^^hmmmm all these poets belong in the list of Somalia's greatest poets, I don't like Cali Dhuux's poems, but he was a very skilled poet.

 

How can he forget the Sayd? Hmmmm, maybe the Sayd isn't politically correct these days.

[Haaraahur.]

^Magacaada ma karo laakiin anigaa kuu haaya Daraawiishka Jamac Biixi Kidin oo ka hadlaayo wakhtigaas iyo marki lagu weeraraaye soomaliya diyaarada.

 

Koob shaah sameyso oo dhagayso!

Roob, is it Magacaaga, mise Magacaada?

 

Thanx for the link bunkii baan sugayaayoo, waan u soo fariistay

 

 

Me, why don't you like him? muxuu kuu dhimay

[Haaraahur.]

^Hee kee saxsan? Magacaaga mise magacaada? Afsoomaliga waan ku dhibanahay runtii.

 

Waxaan isku daaya intii tabartay inaan fahmo hooyaday naftaan u keenay sidaan u lahaa maxaa ka wada kelimadaas?

 

Waxaan aad u xiiseeyaa gabayaha laakiin yaa kuu fahmaayo hee? . Kuwa keli aan fahmay waa kuwa afaf kale ku qoran. Ciil badanaa markii afkii hooyo ku dhibo!

Waxaa la sheegay in Darwiishku ka qoomameeyay gabaygan oo uu u arkay inuu afxumo iyo dicaayad yahay arin qabyaaladeedna ku salaysan.

 

 

Tani waa jawaabtii Ismaciil Mire, uu siiyay Cali Dhuux.

 

Ismaciil Mire qabyaalad wuu ka sareeyay. Cali Dhuux oo ay isku beel ahaayeed ayuu ka soo horjeestay, oo uu ku jidhi afkaaga xun hayso, taasi waa raganimo, meeye ragii saas ahaa maanta?

Cali Dhuux was a young rebel, laga soo ashkatoonayo and Ismaciil Mirre was putting him on his place.

 

The choice is yours, the young rebel or the wise old man.

[Abaadir]

Markii Ingiriis Sayid Maxamed iyo Daraawiish diyaaradaha ku dukheeyey, Cali Dhuux wuxuu yir:

 

Waaligu digtaa duul haduu kuu daraan jireye.

Bal dayaay wadaadkii wakaas sii dabayshadaye.

 

Calaashaan wuu ku farxayaa wixii Sayidka iyo Daraawiish ku dhacay.

[Laba-X]

Me, the opinions they protrayed through poetry varied, but poetry should be read for poetrys sake, sow maaha, nuxurka waa in laga dhuraa. he was indeed a young rebel, but a great orator too.

 

The lines that come to mind when his name is heard in Guba include:

Naagahan Dhankii loo dhigiyo dhinacna diideyne

dhedigaanshahaa lagu arkiyo dhiiga caadada e

 

 

Roob, war waad taqaan Soomaaliga e, is yeelyeelka daa.

[Haaraahur.]

^Amaan iigu roonidaa walaalow. Afsoomaliga rakhiiska ah waan fahmaaya laakiin intaas dhaafsiintiisa way igu adagtahay. Hadda gabayga uu "me" soo qoray iskuma ceebeynaayo inaan fahmo.

[me]

You are right poetry should be appreciated for poetries sake, but this is Somali poetry not some meaningless English BS. Our poetry has its value because of its message and poetical skills.

 

Those that can combine a strong message with allot of skills are the best poets and I don't appreciate Cali Dhuux's.

 

 

Cali Dhuux can be compared to an unsigned rapper trying to battle a rapper with a record deal and he is trying to provoke people just to get attention.

 

Cali Dhuux can be compared to Emimen.

[Abaadir]

Ali Dhuux was guines when it comes to Gabay. He was very talented but as ME said He was also young rebel:

 

Rag hadaad Colaad lee dihiin ciidanse u weydo.

Hadba waxaad ku ciil bixi kartaa kuu cawo aduuna.

 

By Ali dhuux

[Laba-X]

you must understand that there was not any sort of rivalry between the main persons involved, (i.e Caldi dhuux, Qamaan Bulxan iyo Salaan carrabey) in Silsilada Guba. After all they were the sons of three sisters. What was on happening was an ostentatious display of oratory, each man representing his clan and flambouyantly exhibiting it to the others...

 

i heard that at the end, when their mothers had asked them to stopt the Silsilad of Guba and cursed them if they did continue, Cali duux went to the degaan of Qamaan. markaasuu arkay qamaan hooyadiis oo heerya rareysa, markaasuu Qamaan ku yiri:

 

Maxaa hoyadeen hileyga loo saaray

Maxaa loo hogaan baray duqdii inagu hawshootay

Heeryada maxaa loogu raray waaba habarteene!

 

Markaasuu intuu saa u eegay Qamaan, ugu jawaabey:

 

Naagtii gambada taabatay, oo gacantii loo mayray, oo gelisay meeshi xumayd, gabaygu sow maaha!

 

Wuxuu ugala jeedeyna waad garateen bey ila tahay!

[Taako Man]

Ali dhuux is one of the greatest poets. He tryed to wake up a sleeping giant and he is criticized for the way in whick he did it? Give me a break.
