Waano (Good Advice)

Waano (Dhalinyarada)

Waxaa tiriyey Abwaan Xasan Caaqil:

Ninkii dhimiralow waalidkaa dhawdii lama diido
Haddana kaad dhalliil tuhunsantahay looma dhego taago
Dhallaan iyo adoo reer u weyn dhaaxa lama laayo
Haddana kaan dhawaaqaaga maqal looma wado dhaafo
Ninkaan dhogortu kuu qaban karayn laysma dhinac taago
Haddana kaan waxbaba kuu dhimayn dhiiftii lama doono
Dhallinyarada kii kula cimriya lagama dheeraado
Haddan wiil dhabbada seegganoo dhoohan lama raaco

Good Advice (for the youngsters)

by poet Hasan Aqil:

For those [amongst you] with sound mind, never waste the advice of your parents
If you doubt that they are right, do not argue with them
If you are the eldest [or older], do not abuse those beneath you [in age]
However, if they do not hearken, you must not let it go
Do not attach yourself to those who do not have your back
However, do not offend those who do not offend you
Never detach yourself from your peers [generation]
However, do not follow blindly those who will lead you astray
