Qaraabooy qalad maa ku dhaqaaqay?

Hadaan Qarankeyga u istaago
Qabyalada hor istaago
Qaraabooy qalad maa ku dhaqaaqay?

Hadaan Qaadirkii weynaa talo saarto
Qurankiisane midigtayta ku qabsado
Qaraabooy qalad maa ku dhaqaaqay?

Hadaan Qalin qaato
Dhalinyarta qiiro geliyo
From Qardho to Qatar qeeladeeyda gaarto
Qaraabo qalad maa ku dhaqaaqay?

Ilaan dadkeeni qaali badnaa
Qaad baabiyo, qabuuro booxiyaan
ama qah iyo qoxootinimo ku dhintaan
Qaraaboy qaasidkeena ma yahay?

Qaraaboy, Al-Qayuum talo saarta
Quraanka qalbigeena ku qaboojista
Qarankeena qiimeesta
Qabyaalada badala
Qiyaamo isku diyaariya
Gargaarka Qaadir waa qariib

The Nomadic Empress

I am the Nomadic Empress
A Queen Sheba descendant
A modern-day Mary
Fighting corruption and injustice

I am a humble servant
of the only one who deserves it
The Creator of the Universe and everything in it

For pomp and glory I have no care
May not be rich, but in my heart
a real millionaire

Peace, Mercy & Justice
are the corner stones of my kingdom
A safe haven for the weak
and no room for oppression

My world is one where
the truth is known to all
My leaders prioritise peace
and limit the prospects for war

I am the Nomadic Empress
writing to express my distress
So listen up!
Cuz I'm about to teach you
a valuable lesson

Putting pen to paper
I'll inform you of how to be a true leader

First thing you gotta understand
The nation is not a property of you and your gang

Government is a sacred trust
and a heavy responsability
That must be discharged in the name of the Almighty
For the sake of community

A leader must have elegance
strength and intelligence
Although public duty can at times
be a real menace

Like Henry Ford once said
Coming together is beginning
Staying together is progress
But only working together
leads to the path of success

The Bible says where there is no vision
people will perish
While the Quran teaches you
to repel evil with goodness
As a true leader your only mission
is to ensure this

Greed must be replaced with gratitude
And gratitude is not an act but an attitude

Honour cannot be found in
a bank account filled with a million
Nor can it be gained through
a bullet or a gun
For it is only he who honours himself
who is the truly honoured one

I am the Nomadic Empress
Writing to express my distress
Over the corruption and injustice
of which I am a witness

How can you leaders sleep at night
While your people suffer
Do you not hear their plight??

No! A true leader can never
go to sleep with a full belly
while his people go hungry

As a true leader you must be visionary
Put the extra in extra-ordinary
And commit to your role like a missionary

I am the Nomadic Empress
writing to express my distress
So if you feel my word
Don't just sit and curse the darkness

Take a solemn vow to change the globe
with the Lord as your only witness

MEN!

They are our fathers, brothers, uncles, sons and husbands
That's why we love them

They are our abusers, rapists, murderers and violaters
That's why we hate them

They are our lovers, providers, protectors, best friends and other halfs
That's why we cannot be without them...

Dalkeygow (Dear Motherland)

Dalkeygow, I hear your calling
Dalheygow, I feel this yearning
A yearning to return to you
My birthplace, my second womb

Dalkeygow, when will I be able to see you again?
When will my eyes be ableto adore your beauty again?

Dalkeygow, for how much longer will I be seperated from you?
For how much longer will I be dreaming of you?

Dalkeygow, they told said you are a 'dal dad waayey'
Dalkeygow, they lied to you for you have a people
A people known for their beauty, strenght & intelligence

Dalkeygow, it is true some of these people
have to you been nothing but a menance

They have abused, raped & plundered you
Never thinking about your well-being or success

Dalkeygow, they have turned you into a war-zone
Where kids do not learn how to read and write
But how to work a gun

Dalkeygow, do not despair
Hope and happiness is near
For your youth everwhere
Are standing tall, united and loudly declare
'Dalkeygow, we are all here!'

Dalkeygow, we realise your real worth
Your youth knows you are the real secret heaven on earth

Dalkeygow, you have become synonmous with pain and misery
But thy name is so holy and dear to me

Dalkeygow, you are where I am from
The land where I was born
The heaven I am longing and dreaming of

Dalkeygow, I hereby take an oath to thee
I will give my all to restore your dignity and prosperity
So help me God, ameen!

Yes, I am a Muslim

I sleep like you
Eat like you
Walk like you
Breath like you
But, yes I am a Muslim

I have the same rights as you
The same ambitions as you
The same dreams as you
The same hopes as you
But yes, I am a Muslim

I hurt like you
Bleed like you
Cry like you
Laugh like you
But yes, I am a Muslim

I am human like you
Have a soul like you
Have a mind like you
Have a heart like you
But yes, I am a Muslim

I might dress differently from you
Pray differently from you
Speak differently from you
But bottom line is
I am Human
Just like you

My Kinda Man

They say, why you still unmarried, sister?
Don't you wanna know the bliss of being a mother?

I know a nice brother that will suit ya
Just give me the permission and I'll introduce ya!

Yet, these sister do not try to understand me
They rather just judge me

Labelling me as a feminist
Tellin' me, that my fitrah I should not resist

Sister, I ain't looking for any type of brother
I need a man whose a best friend and not just a lover

Sister, I ain't lookin' for another Ja Rule
But someone who lives only by God's rule

Sister, I need someone to honour and defend me
Not bribe me with Gucci, D&G or Fendi

I need someone deeply pleased with God's decree
Not bragging to me about his status, salary or Master's degree

Someone who understands that his woman's strength
Does not challenge him, but only adds to his success

Sister, I'll tell you the kinda man I need
A man to nurture me both spiritually and intellectually

Sister, I do not judge a man based on his fly ride
But the extent to which he worries what will happen to him when he dies

Sister, I need a warrior for goodness
Someone giving his all to stop this world's madness

Sister, I am looking for a dignified brother
Who will honour and cherish his descendants' mother

Sister, if you really wanna help me
Then try to see things from my perspective

Sister, I am not a feminist I do not have the need to be
See, if I'm still single, it is only due to God's decree
