Ina Jaamac Faarax Siyaad (1930 – 1993), a Pan-Somalist and a poet from Djibouti, wrote the following in 1954 as part of a series of poems celebrating Pan-Somalism:

The distant plains of our loving land
Rise forth into the night
O’er the green vales a sad plaintive moan
Distinctly sounds the light

From the heart of the trophical glades
Echoes a clarion call
The beat of the tom-tom aloud proclaims
Liberty for one and all

My SOMALIA! When shall I behold
The glad auspicious Morn
When thy sons and daughters shall celebrate
The Independence dawn

When will that memorable occassion be
By all eagerly cited
when five brothers of Somalia [Italian, British, French Somaliland, NFD, Western Somalia]
shall stand fast united

Under a single banner our land
Freed from all yoke foreign
Shall rise a noble nation
On her own might and main
