Hibiyo waxan ahay Haldhaa *Waxaan ahay hiil Bulsheed
*Mid hiirti kuu kacdiyo waxaan ahay haybadleey
Horyaalka naftaada iyo Waxaan ahay Ooridda
Horraadka mid kuu dhigtiyo *Waxaan ahay lama Huraan
*Hormuudka la hiigsadiyo *Waxaan ahay hanada dhala
*Halbawlaha horumarkiyo *Hu’baan ahay qaran Astura
*Intaasina hogatus iyo *Haleel eray igu filan
*Halbaan tabayaa Bulshooy *Horseedka ciddan u nahay
*miyay halis ila rabta? *Inaan meel hiigsadiyo
*Asagay inan hormaro Ifkana guul aan hantiyo
Dalkana heegada sariyo Halku u hayamay duul
Inaan haqabli’i ku furo Miyaydan ila jecleyn
Inaan wiiqmon han-jabo *Adduunkana aan ka hadho
*Miyad taas ila rabtan? Haweenku hirbu dagee
Ma hoos baad i dhigteen *Haddad ila hadaf tihiin
*Haddad ila hiigsitiin *Inaan halgamana rabtaan
*Intaad hiil muujisaan *Hooyada aad hogatustaan
*Aabbaha aad heybisaan *Hablaha aad u hagarbaxdaan
*Hankoodana aad kabtaan Haleeyada faafise hablaha la hullaabate
Halbawlaha wada jartana intad hadimada tustan *Haweenku ha waaniyaan
*Gudniinka hablahee bahdilan Huq iyo ciil jiitamiyo
Hiirtaanya laga dhaxloo Hooyada oo hallaanhashiyo
Dhib iyo hoogba ku sugan Bulshada oo ku hoobata
Halheysnnimo kuugu filan Haween iyo Raggow dhiirrado
Hilbaha hooyada badbaadsha Hedduna wakhtibay baxdayee
*Hooyada hadimada ka baaja
