"Isa siinta taadiyo
Anigiyo anaa huba
Runtu kuma ekaatoo,
Ikhtiyaarka gaarka ah
Cidi kuma ahaatoo,
Qof iskii is mahadshaa
Maba jiro adduunkee,
Asalkeeda garashada
Ha ka dhigin ogaalkaa!" AF KU SIRAN | 1997. https://t.co/mMAIk710Fg

"Maxaa iga qabyaa hawl
Wax ka qabashadeeduna
Qayrkay ku xidhan tahay!

Muxuu qalinku sheekiyo
Qubanaha dharaartiyo
Hadba qodob la-yaabliyo
Mahadhooyin qorayaa!" ~ Quduro, 1980.
