Elegy for My Walaal

Boodo, sideed sidan iigu samayn kartaa?

Emma, ​​bro yaroo, ma i arki kartaa?

Adiguna miyaad ooyaysaa kala taggan lama filaanka ah?

Emmanuel, wixii aan kuu hayey,

Baakadkaas aan in badan jeclaa in aan maskaxdayda ka diyaariyo

Qaybtaada midhaheeda

Waxaan ku hawshooday dunida aqoonta,

Hadhay laakiin riyo.

Emma, ​​waad igu jees jeesay

Qorshahayga, walal, waa qabow,

Qaboojiyay qabashadii lama filaanka ahayd

Neeftaas nolosha ku siisay.

Walaal, waxaad u aamustay sidii qof qalaad.

Erey ugama tagin aniga.

Soo bood, maqnaanshahaaga ayaa wejiga iiga dhirbaaxaya.

Garbahayga ayaa dhacay,

waayo, anigu mar dambe walaal kama faanayo.

Emma, ​​hadda waxaan ku hadlaa dib u milicsiga:

“Waxaan ahayn…”

Haa, taasi waa xiisaddii bixitaankaagu igaga tagtay!
