Mashairi

Fikiri lilo tohara, na lile lilo dhamana,

Pia fikiri izara, wewe nayo kukutana,

Sihadawe na ujana, na ujana una mwisho

               

                          2

Ujana ni jambo bora, ameupamba Rabana,

Tena umetia fora, ulitendalo hufana,

Basi usiwe mkora, akiba uweke sana,

Sihadawe na ujana na ujana una mwisho.

                          3

Kuweka jambo dharura, jihimu kuweka mwana,

Siyo pato kulipura, kwa usiku na mchana,

Ukitoweka ujura, elewa umekubana,

Sihadawe na ujana, na ujana una mwisho.

                         4

Hebu zituze fikara, ushike ninayonena,

Akiba kwako sitam, ukiijaza shehena,

Na pia huwa kafara, na shida isije tena,

Sihadawe na ujana, na ujana una mwisho.

                        5

Ufanyapo biashara, ewe kijana kazana,

Ujihimu kila mara, na akiba kushikana,

Uzee ukikudara, uwe umetulizana,

Sihadawe na ujana, na ujana una mwisho.

                        6

Kwa kweli Si masihara, mwanadamu hutatana,

Kukosa kitu ni dhara, jina hutojulikana,

Au uitwe fukara, mzee mja wa lana,

Sihadawe na ujana, na ujana una mwisho.

                        7

Ujana hukuzingira, ukangiwa na fitina,

Ukafikwa na majira, uzee ukawa jina,

Basi na wako ujira. wa kazi weka hazina,

Sihadawe na ujana, na ujana una mwisho

                   MVUVI

                      1      

Ndimi mvuvi halisi, Kulla vuvi nalijuwa

Nivuwaye mikambisi, na papa wenye khatuwa

Wala sivui vingisi, mishipi haisumbuwa

Nimekwambiya elewa

                     2

Sivuwi bahari ndogo, hatia nanga fuoni

Havisimbika vigogo, vilivyozama majini

Na wala Sivuwi ngogo, vidagaa na mbinini

Siwavui asilani

                     3

Jabali hulijilisi, jishipi nikalitupa

Haotea mifulusi, na nguru na mijipapa

Si kasikazi Si kusi, khabari yangu nakupa

Wala sivui kwa pupa

                    4

Na nivuapo malema, huingia ndani ndani

Maji yangu ni ya pima, thalatha u thalathini

Na ndiyo ninayozama, lema halibwaga tini

Uliza mimi n'nani?

                     5

Na nivuapo maziyo, mavuvi ya kizamani

Kwa hino hali niliyo, huvua kwa kutamani

Hatafuta kiteweyo, cha wali mwema kombeni

Haandaa siniani

                     6

Ela uvuvi wa juya, kuvua siutamani

Sababuye 'takwambiya, ufahamiwe mwendani

Ni kwambakwe huingiya, samaki waso thamani

Kama wewe mwafulani

                      7

Ni Kuu yangu bahari,elewa sana elewa

Huko hakwendi vihori,wala vyenu vimashuwa

Shoti nahodha hodari,kisha ende kwa ngalawa

Na milango kuijuwa

From Malenga wa Mvita by Ahmad Nassir

             TITI LA MAMA

Titi la mama litamu,hata likiwa la mbwa,

Kiswahili naazimu,sifayo iliyofumbwa,

Kwa wasiokufahamu,niimbe ilivyo kubwa,

Toka kama mlizamu, funika palipozibwa,

Titile mama litamu ,Jingine halishi hamu.

Lugha yangu ya utoto,hata sasa nimekua,

Tangu ulimi  mzito,sasa kusema najua,

Ni sawa na manukato,moyoni mwangu na pua,

Pori bahari na mto,napita nikitumia,

Titile mama litamu,jingine halishi hamu.

TRANSLATION OF THE FIRST POEM

One's mother's  breast is the sweetest

Canine it may be,

And thou,Swahili,my mother- tonque,

art still the dearest to me.

My song springs forth from a welling

heart, I offer thee my plea

That who have not known thee,

may join in hormage to thee.

One's  mother's breast is the sweetest,

no other so satisfies.

The speech of my childhood ,now I am

fully grown

I realize thy beauty and have made it

all on my own

And though refreshest my spirit like the

scent of the roses blown

 Through desert and o'er ocean may I

thy praises known.

One's mother's breast is the sweetest,

no other so satisfies.

WORD OF WISDOM

Before you speak ,listen

Before write ,think

Before you spend, earn

Before you invest , investigate

Before you pray, forgive
Before you quite , try
