SHAIRI : TUCHEKE TUNGALI HAI

[MwlMaeda]

Yana ufupi maisha, si marefu ja zamani
Muda wake wa kuisha, u karibu na mwanzoni
Yanayotushughulisha, si mambo yenye thamani
Tuipatapo nafasi, tucheke tungali hai

Dunia yataabisha, asiyejuwa ni nani?
Mambo ya kutishatisha, ndiyo mengi duniani
Hayo hutuhuzunisha, tukawa wenye huzuni
Basi ijapo nafasi, tucheke tungali hai

Mambo ya kufurahisha, sasa hayaonekani
Mengi hututia presha, tudhoofike milini
Hali yanazidunisha, japo tayari zi duni
Iwapo moja nafasi, tucheke tungali hai

Watu hujiongelesha, tupishanapo njiani
Thubutu kuwatingisha, tatukanwa juu chini
Hili linathibitisha, tumejawa visirani
Nduyangu kwenye nafasi, tucheke tungali hai

Dhiki zetu zimetosha, na huu umasikini
Si vyema kuyaamsha, mengine yaso maani
Tukawa twajinunisha, na kuvunja ujirani
Tusipoteze nafasi, tucheke tungali hai

Aliyeukamilisha, ujamaa ni Manani
Kutaka kuuangusha, ni kuzikiuka dini
Si vyema kujitunisha, na kupimana uzani
Bali iwapo nafasi, tucheke tungali hai

Muda tukishafikisha, wa kurejea nyumbani
Juweni hatutovusha, japo sekunde sitini
Wenzetu watatuosha, tuingie kaburini
Ombi palipo nafasi, tucheke tungali hai

Utungo naukatisha, peni naweka mezani
Kama nilijikosesha, nakuomba samahani
Japo hukunijulisha, kosa nikalibaini
Ni finyu hii nafasi, tucheke tungali hai
