Waji walbaa la kulmay
Isla su'aashii
Ee meelihii aan soo jiray

Kaliya qalbigaa ka jawaaba
Afku waa daciif, laakiin
Waxa qalbiga ku jiraa buuxsha bakaarta

Wajiyo riyoodsan, aamindaran,
Ayay ku waydiiyaan su'aalo yaaban
Ayagoo waydiiya jeer kale meeshaan qabtay

Dagdagaan kula jawaabaa:
Waxaan soo jiray gayiga gabikayeerada aamusan,
Carada ee gabawda Timbuktu.

Madaxyadooday u ruxaan sidii dibiyo
Ayagoo ugu qoslaya jeesjees intay cabayaan:
Meelahaas oo kale waa kaliya sheekoxariir

Madaxaygaan hoos u dhigaa
Anigoo ku sabriya qalbigayga erayo qaboojiya:
Barakada qalbiga tayda waaye.    

Nzvimbo dzemumabhuku

wese andaita mahwekwe naye
mubvunzo ndiwo mumwe chete:
kwakadini kwamanga mapota?

mhinduro ndiopa yepasi pemoyo:
kutaura zvese handingakwanisi,
zvakapinda mumusoro zvinozadza dura

vose vanozoita kunge vapatika kyuhope,
vobvunza zvakare, uso vakasunga:
gara zviya ndepiko kwawaiva?

Handinonoki kudzora mhinduro:
ndaiveko kunyika yemutsindo,
kumatuhnhu emuzinda we Timbouctou.

vese vanokapaza misoro semabhuru,
vopfipfidza vachinwa rukweza rwavo:
nzvimbo dzakadaro ndezdzemumabhuku chete.

ndinotsikisira wangu musoro pasi,
ndozvipodza hana nemashoko mumoyo:
ndakakomorerwa ndakazvionera pamhino sefodya.
