Ninkii ooridiisii rag kale, loo igdhaan ahaye

Ninka ilo biyo leh soo arkoo, oomman baan ahaye

I’m the man whose fiancé has been given to another,

I’m the man who sees springs but whose thirst remains unquenched.

Taltallaabso maantoo,

Murtidaadu waa toge!

Taageer hiddaayoo,

Sayidkii ku toosoo,

Taabsii xogtaadoo,

Ku tirow Balaayacas!

Soo toosi Haabiil!

A new age

Of wisdom in poetry, yes, a new

Give him the news, tell all the great

Poets our language lives again,

And this time written to last in lines

That can't be lost or thrown away.
