    Chelsea, are you that much scared of Barcelona that you resort to anything just to stop them?

     

    Maurinho is wasting the talents of the great players that they have by not letting them play the football that they are capable of playing! I have to admit I didn't watch the Chelsea equalizer simply because I couldn't endure any longer watching the worst Champions league match that I have the misfortune of watching in a long long time.

    it breaks my heart to read how our people are suffering in every corner of the globe all because of few hypocrites, selfish, unpatriotic greedy old men and the worst thing is, we, the victims, keep silent and let them menipulate and deceive us and drag us from one war to another, one tragedy to the other, one hardship to the next....

     

    Ya Allah, help us find ourselves so we would wake up from this nightmare and guide us all through the righteous path Insha Allah. Amin.

    of all the weird stuff I posted why the hell did you choose to remind me about this if you're my "friend". there comes a time in your life when you stop and go "Oh My God" and this is one of those moments when every bloody thing turns into...never mind.

     

    I just cannot believe I went through such trouble to entertain you selfish SOLERS without getting paid even one ndruru.

    Salam Aaleikum W.W

     

    Passion,

     

    First and foremost C-O-N-G-R-A-T-U-L-A-T-I-O-N-S, secondly, when are you going to slaughter a Geel and invite all the Ciyaalka Xaafada to the Zabta (Allah Bari) so we could enjoy a free meal for once with Bariis, Moos, Caano Geel and after that hand me few clips and ask me to spread it around so fellows would read a du'a for you and your Hooyo macaan & Aabo and then offer some take away packets for some of us who are big on the freebies like yours truly.

     

    Remember to tell me about all the people that you intend to invite because I don't want to be seen in the company of some people I rather not mention because the last time we attended the same Zab they put me into a tight situation after they stole all the spoons and forks and worse, gabarta aabeheed bisbaas ee uduugeen oo bariiskee ugu hoos qariyeen and then stole his shoes marka walaaley you must tell me in advance the names of those you want to invite to your Zabta.

     

    Gabdhahana waxaan maqle qaar aa jiro oo wax deeqaayo oo ilaahey eheen uu jirin marka qarash yaa lagu galin ee iyagana iska ilaali, I give you a tip, don't invite any girl who's slimmer, taller, cuter than you because trust me those are the worst as they believe they can get away with everything including eating more than 10 hungry BOBs put together, so you must invite all those who haven't had an access to Diana yet and look like Aleg Wek's lost tribeswomen who never heard of diet yet because then you can get away underfeeding them as you can always tease them with the line "Naa bes iska dheh bariiska beerka kusoo dhacyee"...

     

     

    My dearest sister, Congrats once again and I am proud of you as we need an educated and healthy young mind like you for beloved Somalia in the near future Insha Allah and I wish you all the best in whatever field you choose to conquer.

    Baashi..how are you doing my brother...i haven't seen you here for ages and i was beginning to believe that you deserted us which would've been a tragic for this site!

     

    Bilis-Qooqaani? Mmhhhh, I have no idea wallah but I know about Af-Madoow, Goobweyn, Leheleey, Xaliimo Cadeey, Kulbiyoow, Beer-Xaane, Sac Mooje, Buulo Xaaji, Hoosingoow, Badhaadhe, and few other towns that you would never find on the map.lool.

    lovely to hear from you again as always my brother and stay reer Sikyaamo Daceey!

     

     

    Nur,

     

    I'm sorry i missed that thread as i am a big Qubo cune and don't worry about that honourary medal, me and Baashi will put a good word for you Insha Allah and if you're lucky we might even offer you the hand of one of our lovely lassies for marriage, wouldn't that just be a wonderful?

    according to the website I got it from, it says this is one of his last ever poems before he died.

     

     

    LUQUN MADOOBE AWRKUBA

     

     

    Luqun madoobe awrkuba kolkuu laacdan baranaayo

    Isagaa u laakima badanaa laqanka xoolahe e

    Hadba qaalmo laacdan ah wuxuu luqun jibaadhaba

    Lix intaanu jirin haduu laacib ku ahaado

    Lama loodin karo jeeray liicdo bowdaduye

    Anna laabta kama gooynin caashaqii ladane

    Luxudkaan la gelayaa sidaa igaga liil dheere

    Midnaay hays ku kay lurin qalbigu laba jeclaan waaye.

     

     

    That's all i could find..i will post if i find any new material from any Somali poet Insha Allah.

    CAASHAQA HAWEEN

     

     

    Caashaqa haween waa horaa Caadil soo rogaye

    Sayidkii cishqiqa nuureiyo Caliba soo gaadhye

    Caruurtay sideen ciirshe meesha iyo nebigiiye

    Cidla lagama beermeen dadkoo cudud waaxidahe

    Waxa caynba cayn looga dhigay ha is cajabiyaane

    Soomaalidaa caado xune cidi iguma caydeene

    Oo ima canaanateen sidaan cuud ka iibsadaye

    Kuwii ii calaacalay baan caqli tusaalayne

     

    Sida weelka caanaha hadii laabta loo culayo

    Bal aan soo cidaadee maxaa cunaha dhaafaaye

    Curuuqda maxaa kala dhex geli cadaha hoostooda

    Ma ciidaamkanaa jabinaya cunaya dhuuxooda

    Inaanse cadaydo mooyee waxaan calalsho la'ii diidye

    Caqliga yaa ka bi'in tuu Ilaah ku cir-cadaayeeyey

    Cimrigayga oon jirin intii lagu ciroobaayey

    Muga inaan cadaadaa baan ka biqi Canab darteede

    Cududuhu ma naxaan qofkay talo ku ciirtaaye

     

    Casharkay wadaadadu qoreen cudurkan go'i waayey

    Cilmi dawo waliba doontay oo weyday cilinkiise

    Jeeraan Canabeey ku helo caafimaad dhimaye

    Inaan caad noqdaa baa ka roon caawa saan ahaye

    Ilayn caashaq lama maydhi karo kugu ciroobay.

    Maxaan Hodan Cabdaay Kaaga Go'i Waayey? oooohhh!

     

     

    Intaan adiga kugu gooni ahaa geed hadaan la hadlo

    Ama aan gawaan qodayo may gama'sanaateene

    Gaaladu ha joogtee sidaa gacal ma yeeleene

    Gardarniyaa maxaan Hodan Cabdaay kaaga go'i waayey?

    Sidii aad go'aygii tahiyo macawistaan goostay

    Ama aad godkii aakhiriyo geeri iga baajin

    Ama aan gayiga lagu ogayn gabadh kaloo joogta

    Gardarniyaa maxaan Hodan Cabdaay kaaga go'i waayey?

    Gadiidkii aan toosaba adaan kuu guntanayaaye

    Goobtaan istaagaba dhulkaan godad ka jeexaaye

    Sidii aad gidaar tahay maxaa kaa igarab taagay?

    Gardarniyaa maxaan Hodan Cabdaay kaaga go'i waayey?

    Mana goosan kari waayin oo geesi baan ahaye

    Adaan kaa gungaadhaayey oo helay guntaadiiye

    Gardarniyaa maxaan Hodan Cabdaay kaaga go'i waayey?

    Haatanse waan guursan hadii guule ii wacaye

    Oon weliba gedahaaga ka dayan goboladiiniiye

    Iyadoo gadiid u eg markaan Gu'ga kaxaynayo

    Ee aan Gahaydhiyo la tago Gubanadii Hawdka

    Ee aan ganuunta ugu shubo gooha labankeda

    Geblayda iyo ciyaaraha markuu geeljiruhu tumayo

    Ha gayoobin, waataad lahayd gool jabaan helaye.

    Pity The Heart That Loves:

     

     

    Hannaan Quruxsan

     

    Waxaan huguguf leeyaba dhakhsaan ku hor imaadaaye

    Sida halo kareebaan saqdhexe soo horanayaaye

    Sida ubadku hooyada u tebo kuu hafeeftamaye

    Hadii aanan kulahayn yartaay kuma haleeleene

    Habeenkii yimaadaba lixjeer kuma horjoogeene

    Hal abuurka kuum aaan tirsheen heesta caashaqa e

    Bal hor joogsi daayoo anaan haynin aragaaga

    Hareertayda ood joogtidbaan ku hami qaataaye

    Markaasaan humaagiyo cidlada ku hambalyeystaaye

    Hilinkaynu maridoono iyo hooy ku taamaaye

    Hagaageena iyo khayr ayaan ku hindisoodaaye

    Markaan keligeey haasaawayee aan islahadlaayo

    Ayagoon wax hubinoo ogeyn waxa i heeteeyey

    Dadku waxay u haystaan inaan dhigay hugeygiiye

    Hadaaq ay wax sheeg-sheegayaan uma haboonayne

    Haabkooda may gelin cishqiga hawsha daba taale

    Inta uu hadhuudhlaha kudaray ama hed soo gooyey

    hal-hal tirada waan lagu heleyn taniyo Haabiile

    Anigana haduu igu shakalay hadimadiisiiye

    Imikuu u hees yidhi gab'dhaa taan hanteen rabaye

    Aniguna hensii kaama lumin u halgankiisiiye

    Waa waxan dhul heegadu martiyo Hodan u geeyaaye

    Waa waxan hirdoogliyo caleen ugu horseedaaye

    Ama lebiga hawdoo gugii ubaxu heeryeeyey

    Oo haadku dhaafoo shinbiro cimilo goor heesa

    Aadmigu ma hilayee dhakhsuu ugu hiloobaaye

    Anna xiisahaan kuu hayaa kaba hanaan dheere

    Ninba tuu ka helay buu gabdhaha Hodan ku sheegaaye

    Oon heerkastay qurux ka tahay hawlin taa kale'e

    Anna dookhu adiguu huwadey kuna hareer yaale

    Qaar buu gabdhaha hilibku iyo hugu cusleeyaaye

    Adna inaanad haabkaa ahayn hubiyey dhawrjeere

    Dibnahaagan hiifkaba aqoon hadal san mooyaane

    Gudub halacsi daymada indhahan hibada loo siiyey

    Qosol hanaqa soo taabayoo caashaq hurinaaya

    Ilka aan hogoodii ka lumin kalana hoosaynin

    Sankaagaa hanaankiyo qorshaa hadiyad loo siiyey

    Dhabanada hareeraha wejiga halalac nuuraaya

    Suuniyaha haabkoodan wacan hadal dhamayn waaye

    luquntii habkii geri lahaa halal wax dhaafsiisey

    Timo hoos garbaha uga degoo sinaha haab-haabtay

    Heega iyo laafyaha gamcahan hibada loo siiyey

    Dhaxdan aan hareeraha u fidin horena soo taagmin

    Hanaan quruxsan waataa luguu ka haqab beeleene.

    my personal favourite poet of all time.. Careys Ciise...

     

    Hooyadu Waa Lama Huraan.

     

     

    Hagaag waa loo socdaa Hor waa loo sii hoydaa

    Hadal waa la hindisaa Mudaan uurka hurudnoo

    culeys beey hayn jirtoo Xannuun beey la hingatee

    Hooyadu waa lama huraan

    Habeen goor uu bartamay Caanihii beey nagu habtoo

    Horaadkeey noo dhigtoo Dharkii beey na huwisee

    Hooyadu waa lama huraan

     

    Calooshaadoon hif oran Adiga oon ka haqab`bin

    Hunguri ma haweeysatee Hooyadu waa lama huraan

     

    Habaaq goor aad tahoo Talaabta aan la holi karin

    Adoo ciidii hambaday Dhaqsaba waa ku hinjisaye

    Hooyadu waa lama huraan

     

    Afka aan ku hadalniyo Hannaankeeniyo hub qaad

    Hagaag beey noo bartaye Hooyadu waa lama huraan

     

    Ha`dii kale waxaan lahaa

     

    Innaga oon heybad qabin Hal beeso aan subsan karin

    Iydaa soo heeyn jirtee Hooyadu waa lama huraan

    Fulayga aan haadka hubin Iyadaa soo heyn jirtee

    Hooyadu waa lama huraan

     

    Ha`dii kale waxaan lahaa

    Habantii guriga iyo Hooygii beey noo huftaye

    Hooyadu waa lama huraan

     

    Ha`dii kale waxaan lahaa

    Hubkii beey ka hindadoo Iyada oon hagar laheyn

    Haaw waa tii soo dhahdee Hooyadu waa lama huraan

     

    Odagu waa haajiraa Hawuu meel ugu kacaa

    Haduusan mowdku helin Hortaadeey taagan tehee

    Hadii kale waxaan lahaa.

    Gabaygan wuxuu Sayyidka tiriyey markii uu bixinaaye faraskii uu jeclaa oo la dhihi jiray Xiin- finiin. Xiinfiniin waxaa Sayidka waydiistay nin walaashiis markaas guursaday. Sayidka wuxuu gabayga ku amaanayaa Xiinfiniin, ka dibna wuxuu ka hadlayaa siduu u jecel yahay iyo sida uu qof kale usiiyeen.

     

    Xayow Faaraxow hadal rag waa, loo xutubiyaaye

    Nin xishood leh baan ahay haddaan, lay xistiyahayne

    Waxaan kugu xutubiyaaba waa, xuuradaan nahaye

    Nin kalaan xafiilaba adaan, xaaydda kaa rogaye

    Xaggii loo eryaba waa gammaan, xulashadiisiye

    Goortaan xusuus ula noqdaa, xiisa ii qabanne

    Xashaaliillahiye nin goba, xamasho waw ceebe

    Intii aniga lay xaman lahaa, xil iga soo meerye

    Aduu galabta kuu xoolo yahay, xamarkii dheeraaye

    Waa Xiin Finiin neefka aad, xarigga haysaaye

    Xayawaanka oo idil naftey, kala xeraadaane

    Mar hadduu suldaan igu xil lihi, igaga xayddaantay

    Xadhigigiisa qabo aadmi kale, kuma xurmeeyeene.

    Don't worry my brother, you'll get there Insha Allah...i aspire to master my mother tongue as well so i could compose somali poems.

     

    this is arguably the most famous poem of Sayyid Mohammed Abdullah Hassan and its called "Koofil" ot Gorfield.

     

    Adaa koofilow jiitayaan dunida joogeyne

    Adigaa jidkii lagugu wadi jimic-la´aaneede

    Jahannamo-la-geeyyow haddaad aakhiruu jahato;

    Nimankii januu kacay war bay jirin ishaalleeye

    jameecooyinkii iyo haddaad jowhart!i aragtid

    Sida eebbahay kugu jirrabay mari jawaabteeda;

    Daraawiish jikaar nagama dayn tan iyo jeerkii dheh

    Ingiriis jabyoo waxaa ku dhacay jac iyo baaruud dheh

    Waxay noo janjuunteenna waa jibashadiinii dheh;

    Anigana jigray ila heleen shalay jahaadkii dheh

    Jigta weerar bay goor barqo ah nagu jiteeyeen dheh

    Jeeniga hortiisay rasaas igaga joojeen dheh;

    Jiiraayaday ila dheceen jilic afkoodii dheh

    Siday kuugu jeexeen magliga jararacdii sheego

    Billawuhu siduu kuu jarjaray jeerarka u muuji;

    Naf jeclaysigeed baan u iri jaaloow iga daa dheh

    Jaljalleecadii baa wadnuhu jeebka soo ruqay dheh

    Jeedaaladii baa indhuhu kor u jillaadmeen dheh;

    Jimic kagama helin tuugmadaan jeriyey ruuxii dheh

    Kolkaan juuq iraahdaba afkay iga jifeeyeen dheh

    Dhaaxaan jaleecaye dheg baan jalaq la ii siin dheh

    Goortaan jarreerona gefoo nolol ka jaanqaaday

    Sida jananaddii hore tashigu igu jaguugnaa dheh

    Taladii jinnigu ii hormaray jaasadeed helay dheh;

    Jiidaha xanuunkq leh markii la igu jeeraarshay

    Jibaadka iga soo baxay dadkii jiifka qaban waa dheh

    Kolkay rubaddu jow!tiri or bay iga ag jiibsheen dhah;

    Jiirkayga bahal baa cunoo jiitay hilibkii dheh

    Jurmidiyo baruurtii dhurwaa jugux ka siiyaa dheh

    Jiljillaadiyo seedaha tukay igaga jaadeen dheh;

    Haddaan lays jikaareyn tolkay laga jilroonaa dheh

    Waligoodba waa lagu jiraa jilibdhig duullaan dheh

    Sayidkiina waa jibindhawgiyo jowda soo bixi dheh

     

     

    PS. I could do with some translation...

    My Dear Brother Nur,

     

    its clear that I jumped my gun before, like you said, "Carefully reading" your statement and I APOLOGIZE for that, however, I wouldn't call my reaction towards YOUR comical thread "a combative mood" but a comment of a passionate man as there's no man in a supposedly combative mood that would be laughing, which is exactly what I said.

     

    please my brother, don’t get me wrong, I’m not offended in anyway by your theories as they were not offensive by any means but rather amusing and I couldn't help but laugh.

     

    Trust me my brother, the last thing on my mind was to come across as a pseudo to you or to anybody else and I kid you not, I am not Fadhi Ku Dirir under the pseudo-onym of BOB and I know my birthplace more than you're willing to give me credit for and so be it, at least they are not off the mark assumptions but a mere fact and I stand by everything I wrote.

     

    Nur wrote ( I feel sorry if you have been negatively impacted by unfair demographical displacements caused by other nomadic Somali ethnic groups who may have hurt you in any way)

     

    Nur, I don't see any point in responding to this statement as I believe you were not thinking right when you typed it, let's just say I'm willing to give you a reasonable doubt, should I add "unlike you"?

     

    PS. Thousand Apologies if you felt I kidnapped your thread and please feel free to come to Kismayo my brother, in fact I would like to host you someday Insha Allah and take you to scuba diving myself and teach you how to set a trap for shrimps and lobsters with MACAWIIS and i will give you, your first taste of fried Qubo meat.

     

     

    Peace, Love & Unity.

    The only Somali poets that I'm familiar with are Sayyid Mohammed Abdullah Hassan & Elmi Ismail Liban "Bodhari"..and I believe the overwhelming majority of the Somalis including you, are familiar with these two great Somali men. I got few of their poems and i can post it here if you like.

     

    just let me know if you're interested Insha Allah.

     

     

    Peace, Love & Unity.

    Nice one Libaax but I have to be honest I've never ever heard the name Abdirizaq Marhsaale and if you are talking about the same Yaasiin Karaani that I know..Then..Well..Ahem Ahem, you are good…anyway you forgot to mention the great man, Binshaakir, I have never seen him play but every boy from Kismayo dreamt of becoming like him one day and I can honestly say that he commanded more respect than the president himself in Kismayo and everyone knew him young or old, man or a female boy or a girl.

     

    I know Khaliif Shire Osman "Rico" more as we were neighbours and don't be scared brothers, I played with a legend or be it long after he retired from the beautiful game in Nairobi when he came from Canada in the late 90's.

     

     

    GoldCoast, have you ever heard Binshaakir or Khaliif Rico?

    Salam Aleikum W.W Paragon,

     

    it's not Giriama but some other tribe from Tanzania, I think their tribal name is Mushunguli (I could be wrong) and they were brought to Somalia by Said Barqash from Zanzibar and the mainland of Tanzania.

     

    Bajunis are not the original natives who used to live in and around Kismayo but those whom old Somalis used to refer to as "Gaalo Madoow" and they were Oromo and Wardeey and couple of Somali tribes fought against them and ultimately defeated them and that's when the Kismayo we know of today was born.

     

     

    The Bajuins used to live near the seaside where we today know as Calanleey, which also happens to be my neighbourhood where I was born and bred and where my father still lives to this day and reads and teaches Islamic books at the main mosque.

     

    Bajunis aren't nomads or peasants like the most Somalis but fishermen and near the sea there used to be a Well known as "Daw Dhanaan" (it still was until i left in 91) and my father used to tell us that boats from Mombasa or Zanzibar on their way to the gulf used to stop by there and refill their water tanks and people started to refer to the place as "The Well" and the Somali nomads used to bring their livestock to that same Well and they never had any problem with the Bajunis as they were not Gaalo but Muslims and later on they even intermarried and lived side by side until the civil war broke.

     

    Growing up, I had so many Bajuni friends and I never considered them to be outsiders as they spoke the language and had the same Somali culture, Bajunis aren't a nation as many Somalis would have you believe but a tribe born out of the intermarriages between the Arabs who used to rule East African coasts and the natives they found there and they are 100% Muslims, yeah they speak Swahili but their Swahili is different from the one you usually hear in Kenya or mainland Tanzanina, if you listen to it carefully you will find so many Somali words in it and trust me you will never meet more generous or warm people than the Bajunis.

     

    Most of the time they like to fool those Somalis from outside of Kismayo and pretend like they don't know one single Somali word but as soon as you start backbiting (waan is naqaanaa Soomaali aan xanka unahee) that's when they will let you know to slow it down a bit, it happened to so many people I know and fortunately for me few times I enjoyed watching some guys make fools out of themselves in Utange by saying the most hideous things in their presence thinking they would get away with it.

     

     

    Those who fought for Kismayo were three Somali tribes and believe it or not neither of these three occupied the city before the Islamic courts took control and most of the times two out of these three Somali tribes aren't even mentioned as they are not as powerful as those who claim the ownership of the city!

     

    I know Kismayo as it's where I was born and my father was born and my grandfather was born before us as well and everyday I pray that I will see my hometown again before I depart from this earth because only Allah s.w knows how much I LOVE that city.

     

    PS. They can claim as much as they want but each and every Kismayo native knows who Kismayo belongs to and that will never change.
