xiinfaniin Posted July 11, 2006 MM, ALi was the son of his time. Though what he did was not the norm, it was how many poets of his time operated. But you are absolutely right in that he lost the moral summit of that literary contest. Especially his clannish insults which he aimlessly spewed. That’s precisely the reason I think he squarely lost in many areas. The reason so many poets engaged him was not because of a particular interest of his stanzas but it was primarily out of defense of the honor of their clan. It’s not unique for some poets to resort into a wholesale dual to make a political point. I think late Khalif did the same thing. Another reason he went down as a poet without durable wisdom and left a legacy of depressing verses. Having said all of that, let us be fair and say Ali was one of the greatest poets in Somali history. If Somalis were fortunate enough to be a society of pen, his would’ve been imprinted in stone—somewhere in Hawd region. Yes he was harsh and ruthless in his literary shootout. But his were the heavy stuff—not the amateurish kind. Sharmarkow, correct me if I am wrong but that poem was the only contribution Salaan made to the Guba series. One more reason he got my vote. He defended his clan, boasted and bragged about his talents, and put down Ali’s challenge. Shuqul nin weyn; he left the scene while he was ahead. Raggeedii indeed, I say.

Kashafa Posted July 12, 2006 Thanks Baashi, Xiin, and Sharmarke.. This thread tho is light-years ahead of me. The main thing is the vocabulary, I guess. The abwaans are using afsoomali words aan weligay maqlin..so it's tough to understand the gabay overall. I'll open a Gabay for Dummies thread and hope you guys can lend ur expertise. Somali poetry is simply facinating. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sharmarkee Posted July 12, 2006 Salam, Xiin, No doubt Ali-Dhuux was a poet's poet, a poet par exellence, people ususally says, I mean the people of Somali literature says Raage Ugaas was the best of the best. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sharmarkee Posted July 12, 2006 ^^ Kashafa, in Riaydh i was studying the EDeb Al carabi (The arabic literature) when on my own quest and on my own interest switched to the looking out Af-Somali gabayo, it became fascinating, cos I found Cajalad full of this gabayo from a school teacher called Lamumbe specially Guba, then it beacme my passtime collecting and searching and looking and learning. you will be amazed by the contents, it's a philosphy on it's own. one of the best aspects is case in points and examples you will learn from.

Sophist Posted July 12, 2006 Xiin, Anigu ma aan Qabo inuu Cali kuguuleytey isdhaafsigii murtidii qiimaha laheyd. Laakiin, waxaan shaki ku jirin his legacy still lives on; wixii uu doonahayey oo uu gabeygu ku bilaawdeyna hade waa uu heley. Ceelashuu kahadlahayey maanta waxaa kacaba geela sumadiisu ey tahay Laan Alifka. Dhankaas marka laga eego, hade waxaa la oran karaa baroordiiqdiisii waa loo rumeeyey.

xiinfaniin Posted July 13, 2006 Sophist, hawl sahlan maaha in la yiraahdo hebel baa hebel ka gabay badan. Laakiin raggu weligii gabayadda waa kala heli jirey. Tusaale: Markii Geelle oo asagoo dhalinyaro ah nin le'egi ul (hadde waa ul) qorigiisii kaga qaatay ayyaa waxaa damcay nin Gooni la oranjirey oo reer Mudug ahaa inuu kaga faa'idaysto oo sidaa Geelloo maara loo waayey gabayga kaga xiro. Mahayyo gabaygii Gooni. Laakiin markii Geelle loo tiriyey gabaygii Gooni soo dhiibay wuxuu ku jawaabay gabay aan ilaa hadda la yaabo. Badha olosha waa loo godlaa waase baaqima'e Boodada horeetaa danbeed biri-rifleeyaay'e Baqal kuma hargalo meel sanguhu maray bariistiiye'e Bal ogaada reer (hebel) baa soo buraanburaye'e . Even literary-challenged reer hebel have a desire to vie . Kulahaa! Then he went on to attack Gooni’s smoking habit (odagu tubaakaduu cunijirey ), and reminded him that while it’s probably true that he as a young lad lost his gun to unarmed foe, that information is irrelevant today since Gooni’s clan were the loosing lot. Adigoo bog soo xoodan leh oo biriya toobaakhda Batal Eeri-goo iyo intaad Bookh ka dabanaysay ………………………………………………… Baylihisay nimankii ku xigay badina loo laaye’e Bundukh maxaad ka sheegtaa adaa ba’ay ayyaantaane’e. After Geelle delivered those high-powered verses, it effectively shut off Gooni for good. Sharmaarkow, Qoof yimi Salaanow ninkii qariyey waa liide'e Marhaddii qordoofo iyo gabay la idin quulquulay Inaad aniga ii qayshataan waydin qabataaye'e. Qawdhan illeen waa ninka Salaan ka caraysiiyey . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mutakalim Posted July 13, 2006 إيه٠إيهÙ! وان من البيان لسØرا It is, by He, doubly refreshing and elating to see many litterateurs and lovers of somali poetry; if only the commoners were so informed. What lingustic wizardry is effected by the altiloquence and eloquence of somali poesy! Keep the ball rolling, folks. I shall come back with a chaste and choice selection of my own, if Allah so permits. With Salams, PK Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Paragon Posted July 13, 2006 For the love of poetry, Sayidka while entrusting a poem to one of his main memorizers parted memorable words to him, forming as I see it, some of the best lines in Somali poetry ever recited. I thought I'd share them while the fora is in this mood.
