Bamboo sticks will never bend.
Bamboo sticks will never break.
Bending down is a moringer stick.
Breaking down is for dry moringer.

The book should be judged by its contents.
The heart will never be defined by its face.
Open the roof and see inside.
And open the door to see the house.

Read the contents of the book before going on.
Read the heart, then accept the face's smile.
Find the building before opening its roof.
Knock at the door before opening the house.

Why will the judge just judge the book by its cover?

Learn it before attacking.
Well, reason before rumour.
Wash your mouth and chew the words.

Attacking before learning is ignorance.
Rumour before reasoning is illiteracy.
Remember, your mouth is odorous.

Wash it again and again and again.

Bissimillahi da Allah zan kago.
Mahaliccin kowa wanda ya kago.
Saiwa a kasa tamkar rogo.
In ya fiddo ka ba me saka a kogo.
A cikin tafiya lallai zan bi a zango.
Na ayari kuma mu ya da zango.
A cikin tafiyar har da Adamu Zango.
Me kamar zaki don ya wuce rago
Ba ya kyautar yadi sai naman rago.
Kyautar sa, sai Azurfa har da agogo.
Yana bawa makiyan sa, gajere har dogo.
Ya kan lullabe  su da dadi har bargo.
Lakabi nasa Dan Gayu me hannun ungo.

**** me hakuri mawadaci ne tun farko.
Duk tsanani ba a dana masa tarko.
Ko an dana masa sai yayi karko.
Mahassada nasa sai shan katako.
Safe da rana zai ta zuba musu koko.
Suna daukar masa kaya, Hm! Yan dako.
A cikin zafi da sanyi da ruwa mamako.
