Uhuru kolea
Haki tandia
Usawa karibia
Ubaguzi torokea
Udikteta fokea
Demokrasia furahia

***

Nawatakia kila la heri
Muepuke na shari
Furahieni samaki ya bahari
Ya nini kutamani kontena ya bandari?

***

Issa Bin Mariam anawaombea
Afya njema
Usomaji mwema

~~~

Come 2019, come

May freedom be well flavoured
Rights well spread
Equality welcomed
Discrimination decamped
Dictatorship rebuked
Democracy embraced

***

I wish you all the best
Avoid all evil
Enjoy the fish of the sea
Why desire containers upon the sea?

***
Issa Bin Mariam prays for you,
Good health
Happy reading.
