My favourit poem is Saalax-Ma-Lay Diray's challenge to the sultan of Hobyo folks during 1905.

 

Cali Sharmaarke invited him to Hobyo from east Africa, and the challenge was "golle-ka-fuul" poetry, Sharmaarke invited one of their best and the women folk fixed the place and Cali Sharmaarke gave the first hit to Saalax since he was the guest, and Saalax began his poetic threat as:

 

 

.

Ma dhurgoho'e waan kala dhilaa dhuubka maansada'e

Ma dhuunto'e dharaartoo cad baan dhalasho baanaaye

Abidkayba gole dhaygag leh, baan dhaaxa ka hadlaaye

Ma dhaygago'e hadalkii la dhaho waw dheg jebiyaaye

Ma dhursugo'e dhiillada horaan kaga lisaa dhiige

 

Ma dhiifee dhib niman ii lahayn waa iska dhaafaye

Hadba kii dhirrici igu falaan kaga dhafoorshaaye

Ma dhaawoco'e nabar loo dhintaan ula dhugmaystaaye

 

Dhallinyaro turbaysiyo waxaan dhaafay shuqulkooda

Ama hadal nin meel kala dhacaan sii dhadhamo yeelan

Abidkayba kaa kama dharsoo dhaawadaan idhiye

Meel laba qabiilo is dhacdaan dhaxi ka yeedhaynin

Dhacsiinada halkaan uga bartaan dhawrayaa weliye

Caawana wixii soo dhiciyo dhiilladaan sugiye

 

Waar Dhalanteed layguma sabee dhool ma ka hillaacay.

.

 

 

Dhalanteed = khyaali ,

layguma sabee= layguma siree

Dhool= iliga foolka ku xiga

ma ka hilaacay= ma ka qoslay

 

 

Classic versess to prove the power of his poems.

Aadanoow, i admire the ingenuity of Camanje when some xaaji xundjuf cousins insisted in uu u dhaarto in hal ka soo luntay iyaga uuna arag! Displeased by the offensive insiuation that he stole it or perhaps not quite willing to put his hand on the Quran to deny the allegation, he retorted with these diversionary lines!! :D

 

Nimanyahow hashiinii ma arag, waana la hubaaye

Waa taan hudheelaha galaa, hogoga Iido.ore

Waa taan hariirsade gubaa, dhuxuli hoos taale

Waa taan makhaayado hurshaa, halow i leefaaye

The dig is clearly inline of how Oodweyne's ilk were used to viewed those days :D

Camanje did not get a riposte for those lines and fired another jewel of a poem for more provocation, clearly bragging no one could match him on poetic duel:

 

 

Gabay haw yidhaadoo ku dhaca, Cadan hagaageeda

Oo hammug yidhaa oo Isa.aq, daartii *wada heensha

Oo halaha kii raaci jiray, kaga hayaay siiya

Oo kii hudheellada lahaa, ka handaraafsiiya

Oo kii hargaha iibsan jiray, haaro ugu yeela

Oo kii hablaha dooni jiray, horay usii tuura

Oo hilibka kii qaadi jiray, kaga habaaseeya

Oo dhariga kii heemin jiray, heenka kaga daadsha…

Haabhaaban maayee anuu, hilinka ii yaalo...

Hadduu aar hal dilo oo dhurwaa, hilib usoo doonto

Hungurina ka geyn waa kalyana, kuma hagaajaane

Huuhdooda unbaan maqliye lay, hor iman maayo

Aadan...I have no desire to debate with you. You need therapist first.
