Jeshurun's Mind: Kiswahili na Mashairi

Duniani Twapita, Manzili Yetu Zayuni

 

Shairi hili ni fungu, la kuliwaza wafiwa,

Mnaohisi uchungu, liwagange kama dawa,

Kwa wafariji wenzangu, lina sifa maridhawa,

Duniani tunapita, manzili yetu Zayuni.

Rambirambi nazituma, kwa Milicenti Randa,

Kadhaka kwa yenu boma, na wote mnaopenda,

Nawaombea uzima, na roho ziso za inda,

Duniani tunapita, manzili yetu Zayuni.

Kakangu Napoleoni, na Adhiambo dadangu,

Nguvu nyingi jitieni, japo mnayo machungu,

Mola atawaauni, enyi wapendwa wenzangu,

Duniani tunapita, manzili yetu Zayuni.

Hakika ninayajua, yalokusibu Ajode,

Na vilevile Joshua, unayeipenda kode,

Angela nafanya dua, sifikwe na adeade,

Duniani tunapita, manzili yetu Zayuni.

Nasaha nawatolea, Akinyi na Dolphini,

Nanyi Samueli pia, Awiti na Liliani,

Ya hayati familia, tafadhali itunzeni,

Duniani tunapita, manzili yetu Zayuni.

Vijana waheshimiwa, kitunga nawavulia,

Kwani hamkuchelewa, mwenzenu kuhudumia,

Pindi mlipofikiwa, na habari ya tanzia,

Duniani tunapita, manzili yetu Zayuni.

Natoa zangu shukrani, kwako sayidi Obonyo,

Kwa nyingi zako hisani, na maneno ya maonyo,

Kwenda kwa Randa nyumbani, ulifwatwa unyounyo,

Duniani tunapita, manzili yetu Zayuni.

Pongezini vijulanga, Nyanchoka na Randiga,

Roho zetu mlikonga, kwa faraja zilonoga,

Akuku pia Wasonga, walizivalia njuga,

Duniani tunapita, manzili yetu Zayuni.

Mkono wa buriani, ameshatupa Aoko,

Maishaye duniani, yamekatiza mauko,

Tusisaili kwa nini, wakaa wa maziko,

Duniani tunapita, manzili yetu Zayuni.
