SHAIRI: SIMBA KUMJIBU PAKA

[MwlMaeda]

Simba awapo nyikani – yeye si wakutishika,

Huwataka hayawani – mbuaji kwenye machaka,

Si viumbe vya bandani – vimtie kushutuka,

Simba kumjibu paka – nikujitowa thamani

Akaapo hadharani – kucha zake hufinika,

Mfano kiumbe duni – ela kwa yeye kutaka,

Vimbelembele pembeni – havimpi kusumbuka,

Simba kumjibu paka – nikujitowa thamani

Atembeapo ndiani – si wakupekwa haraka,

Anapishwa hapishani – apandapo na kushuka,

Wakuuliza ni nani – amuwekee mipaka,

Simba kumjibu paka, nikujitowa thamani

Huchaguwa ushindani – si huo wa vijipaka,

Ati pamoya ngondoni – na kuanza patashika,

Hilo litakuwa shani – na nimuhali kutuka,

Simba kumjibu paka – nikujitowa thamani

Kwenye mijusi kutani – ndiko kwa paka hakika,

Na kina panya tobweni – wamjibu akitaka,

Asijitie kundini – ya simba akayataka,

Simba kumjibu paka – nikujitowa thamani
