Darwiishad,
waxaan ku xusuusin lahaa howshu sidaad moodey ma aha. marka koobaad qabil wadanka male ee shacab wayne somaliyeed ayuu ka dhaxeeyaa, dhiig inay udaadiyaan, dhaqaale iyo maskaxna galiyaan waxaa looga wada baahan yahay dhamaan shacabka dagan dhulka, markaa qola gaara farta haku godan adoo kumahadsan wixii guubaabo iyo dhiiri galin eed islahayd samee.
Jamac.
Qoraalka miyaad akhriday oo waad fahantay mise hadal malagii galay ayunbaad iska qortay? miyayna u ekayn inaadan xiitaa adiga qudhaado is fahan sanayn oo waxaad qoraysaa iska hor imanayo? miyaadan kamid ahayn dadka aad sheegi ee dhulkale? Malize ninka aad ka calaacashay ee xun miyuuna ahayn, maxay tahay nabada uu inoohayaa? walaalkii qabridahare ayuu kudhimanayaa, walaashaa ayuu ku kubsanayaa... aabihii iyo walaashina maqale ayay raaxaysanayaan ee nabad adiga kuutaala ee isagu uuna rabin maxay ahayd? nabada yaad baryaysaa, ma ninka qoriga wata ee buulkii ayaydaa gubay?
