Here is the Poem

Amaantaada Cadaray haddaan ku itifaaloodo
Oon alufa laamkiyo ka dayo awsadkii miimka
Ilwaad quruxsanleeyeey haddaan uunka maqashiiyo

Ab la sheego iyo reer abti iyo adiga ruuxaagaa
Ayaxaa ka badan Ciidagale inan'ta joogtaaye
Haddaad ugu ilroonaatay hablihii waxaan ilaaleeyay

Ambaddi haddaan dagay halkaan la asaraaraynin
Ood reer Mataan noqotay iyo ubaxa reer Ciise
Ood ururta Guuleed tahay iyo idhamadii Iido

Aslidii ba Cawlo iyo haddaad oodankii noqotay
Odaynimana reer Faarax ay kuba ekaanaysay
Uu aabahaa gacale yahay obobo'dii shaalka

Afartaa asluubtaan u dhigay aalad maw yeelay
Ma asteeyay waataan aqiin idibirkiisiiye
Eray kalana wowo noqonayaa unug yar baan baanan

Alaylkii salaadaan tukaday uunka oo gama'san
Iyo oogta waabari markuu fiqigu eedaamay
Aluf laamka iyo baan tirshaa suuradaha adage

Culimooyin aada iyo ardaan ku ururshaa meele
Ooriday inaad noqoto ood ubadka ii qaado
Alabariga waa lay aqbali idim Ilaahaye

Afartaa asluubtaan u dhigay aalad maw yeelay
Ma asteeyay waataan aqiin idibirkiisiiye
Eray kalana wowo noqonayaa unug yar baan baanan

Waxaan ahay iskaayeeladii amarka weynaaye
Waxaan ahay amti reer Gadiid loo ogaan jiraye
Waxaan ahay irdaha Yoonis Nuux iyo ashraaftiiye

Uluuf iyo uluuf baa tolkay arad ka fuulaaye
Ololaha kun baa loo diraa oogta waabariye
Tan iyo Ogadeen ma jiro oday na gaadhaye

Afartaa asluubtaan u dhigay aalad maw yeelay
Ma asteeyay waataan aqiin idibirkiisiiye
Eray kalana wowo noqonayaa unug yar baan baanan


Arnaa'uud sidiisaan ahay iyo aarka debediide
Uumiga dagaalkaanu jirin nin i egeeyaaye
Arwaax nimanna way wada yaqaanaan idil ba Iidoore

Agabkooda waa wada helnaa aaladii dumare
Asli qoorta lagu gooyay bay ku istareexaane
Aftirkiina waxa loo lisaa sidigtaa Eeraane

Abaartiina waxaan dagnaa aradka Ciil-Shiikhe
Ha iloobin Cadareey haween waa Alow sahale
Aqoon gaabna ha noqon naago wey edeb daraadaane
