Koofil, wuxuu dalka Soomaaliya yimid 1904kii, isagoo ka soo
shaqeeyay dhawr dal oo Afrika ah, oo ay ka mid ahaayayn Koonfur Afrika iyo
Nijeeriya. Waxaana madax looga dhigay ciidamada Rakuubley (Camel Corps), oo had
iyo jeer warwareegsan jiray soohdinta u dhaxeeysa Daraawiishta iyo mustacmaradda
Ingiriiska.
Waxaa la wariyay in dadka baadiyaha dagan uu dhibi jiray,
xoolahana ka dhaci jiray, sidaa daraadeedana dalka laguma jacelayn. Sheekooyin badan
Soomaaliya dhaxdeeda kuma lehayn, hase ahaadtee, wuxuu caan baxay kadib markii
lagu dilay Dulmadoobe, 9kii Agoosto 1913kii, oo laga mariyay gabayo badan; midka
ugu caansan waa kan la magac baxay “Koofil” ee Sayid Maxamad Cabdulle Xasan.

The death of Richard Corfield “koofil”
You have died, Corfield, and are no
longer in this world,
A merciless jouney was your
portion.
When Hell-destinied, you set out
for the Other World,
Those who have gone to Heaven will
question you, if God is willing;
When you see the companions of the
faithful and jewels of Heaven,
Answer them how God tried you.
Say to them:
“From that day to this, the
Dervishes never ceased their assaults upon us.”
“The British were broken!, the
noise of battle engulfed us;
With fervor and faith the Dervishes
attacked us.”
“They attacked us at mid morning.”
Say:
“Yesterday in the holy war, one of their
old rifles set its sight upon me.
And in my tracks, a bullet stopped me.”
“In fury they fell upon us.”
Report:
“How savagely their words tore you.”
Show:
“In how many places the daggers
were plunged.”
Say:
“Friend,” I called, “Have
compassion and spare me!”
“As I looked fearfully from side to
side, my heart was plucked
from its sheath.”
“My eyes stiffened as I watched
with horror;
The mercy I implored was not
granted.”
“Striking with spear-butts at my
mouth they silenced my soft words;
My ears, straining for deliverance,
found nothing.”
Say:
“Like the war leader of old, I cherished
great plans for victory.”
“The schemes the Djinns planted in
me brought my ruin.”
Say:
“When pain racked me everywhere,
men lay sleepless at my shrieks.”
“Great shouts acclaimed the
departing of my soul.”
Say:
“Beasts of prey have eaten my flesh
and torn it asunder.”
“The sound of swallowing the flesh
and the fat comes from the hyena.”
“The crows plucked out my veins and
tendons.”
Say:
“If stubborn denials are to be abandoned,
then my clansmen
were defeated.”
“In the last stand of resistance
there is always great slaughter.”
“The Dervishes are like the
advancing thunderbolts of storm,
rumbling and roaring.”
