Faheema. Posted April 22, 2003 My somali is not all it cracked up to be, but recently i've been trying to get into Somali Literature and I have come across this poem written by Hadraawi, one of Somalilands great poets. Have a read, certain words are little Ambiguous but soon you will ge the gist of it. Maxamad Ibrahim Warsame Hadraawi; Gabyagani wuxuu ka midyahay, gabayada tirada badan ee uu abwaanku curiyay. Gabayga magaciisa waxa la yidhaa "Hablaha Geeska Afrika". Gabaygu wuxuu ku bilaabmay sidan: Ma geyyoon ma gamashiyin ma gommodin ma gaagixin ma gabloobin maan gudhin mana gabin halkaygii gabaygiina maan deyn geeraarradaydii imminkaan gardaadshoo Weli maan gunaanadin Murti nimaam gunteediyo baran gogol-dhiggeedoo gonda degi aqoonoo garab-daar lahayn baa gawl-gawla hadalkoo kolba dhinac garoocdee sida Webi Ganaanoo cirka godollo maaloo biyihii ku gaaxdiyo gebiyadii kusoo degey ku darsday gufaaciyo gullama diriroo galli jabay habeenkii kolba gacan masoo rogay Qudhaciyo galoolkii gunta xididka maw jaray dhulka wada galaal iyo gabbalaha makaga tegey afartaa geddaydii dhaha laygu garan jirey Gurmashada dagaalkiyo gulufkiyo colaadaha goobaha naf waagiyo halka laysku gowroco marka gorodda lays daro haddaan dumarku goonyaha guubaabo kicinayn sida galowga dhiilloon illaa geesi qayrkii birta kuma gumaadeen!

mahdi- Posted April 22, 2003 I've seen and encountered this great and intruguing poem by the astute father of Somali poems, Hadraawi. When ever I come across this piece, it actually touches my heart. Mr Hadraawi gave us, in his poem, a luced expilication about the precious beauty of our gorgeous sisters and of course their saleint features. Thanx for the share Cawo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
