Haatu Posted November 21, 2013 I shall post here some famous poetry quotes and try to make sense of them (some are straightforward though). I will appreciate any input from the nomads, especially those who know what they're talking about. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Haatu Posted November 21, 2013 I'll start with one of Qamaan Bulxan's most well known stanzas (not the most famous though). I read it earlier and to me it seems like a knock-out blow to a qabiil - Waxaan heli waxaan haaban karo, iyo waxaan haysto - Hiyiguba wuxuu doonayaa, inaan hibeeyaaye - Iyagaa intay hilib qashaan, heesi dabataale - Oo ku hilbo qaybsada waxay, hor Alla gaysteene - Ma Hartaynu nahay soorta, maad hadal la'aan dhiibtid? Any ideas on this superb stanza? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Haatu Posted November 21, 2013 Another great one from Qamaan Bulxan. From what I can understand, the poet is advising against haughtiness (him saying if you think you are rich, there's always another man with one more camel than you). The quote ends with an advise saying that the affairs are not only up to you (I think he means Divine decree here). Overall, a very useful halqabsi which is relevant in many situations in life (memorising it and keeping it as ammunition would be useful ) - Hadii aad inaad taajir tahay, tuhunto uurkaaga - Toodowga[1] xoolaha ninbaa, tulud[2] ku sii dheere - Walee inna raggow talo aduun, taada uun ma aha [1] Tood - animal unused to being milked [2] Tulud - a single camel Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Haatu Posted November 29, 2013 One of the Sayids most famous stanzas. He laments at what he perceives as foreigners raising lowly men to high stations. - Allahayoow Ferenjigii muxuu, na.cas fariideeyey - Faa'iido laawiyo muxuu nin ragga, feyl ka wada yeedhshay - Nimaan aabihiis fuuli jirin, faras muxuu saaray Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Haatu Posted November 29, 2013 And now for a famous stanza that has unfortunately been credited to the wrong man for over a 100 years. Maxamuud Axmed Cali Bidhiidh the victim of maansabooli of the worst kind. Anyways, here's his famous stanza: - Haddaan dhimano geeridu kolbay, nolosha dhaantaaye - Dhaqashiyo marbay kaa yihiin, dharagtu xaaraane - Rag dharbaaxo quudheed dugsaday, dhaqayadeed maalye - Dhashaadeey sugtaa xaajadaad, dhawrataa abide Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
