IT IS ME SHE LOVES - A 21 Hausa Haiku Love Story

IT'S ME SHE LOVES - A 21 Hausa Haiku Love Story

...by Poetic Tee "Here, take a sip."

 Translated 

1

Beating Heart sends love

To every nook and cranny

Of a lover's soul.

2

She is my girlfriend

Chose I from thousand others

As her eyes soother.


3

Sadness envelopes

He who lost the contest

Fought between two hearts.


4

She loves you not bit

So take heart, go search elsewhere

Her love has found home.


5

Don't be heart broken

Nor you be sad, dejected

I'm her chosen one.


6

Challenged to flower

You failed to blossom, Su'Ab

What costly mistake.


7

Telling bunch of lies

Catwalk in borrowed feathers

Crumbled spells you fly.


8

A proud nobody

Clear as day, none is in doubt

You are but a crow.


9

She is on to you

Go on spread your calumny

No fruit bears deceit.

 

10

What a dishonor

Think you women are all fools? 

Well, do count her out.


11

Go, seek another

Best befitting of your class

She belongs to mine.


12

This celebrations

Is fit only for kings, queens

Not for their subjects.


13

She's given full pledge

Crowned me her heart ruler

The war is over.


14

Swear your evil oaths

Even bite on a liver

Sad end is your spells


15

Sands of pure horror

No child dares play on it

Best abandoned to waste.


16

City destroyer

Hale storm of stones not of ice

Murderer of hearts.


17

You call on your Lü

She supplicates "Lahaula..."

Child to raw 'Kili.


18

We, tandem with peace

Bedspread of silk and saffron

Green, comforting, lush.


19

Blissful and blessed

Twins birth, a dozen of them

Each one named Khalid.


20

Precious, pure, raw gold

No one weighs you as a joke

Valued then and now.


21

A sound woman

Is but paradise on earth

Even better, there.
