"kano" poems
Are tumhe dekha aj to lga ye sab tumhe bta du.
Haq hai nhi mera koi phir b thoda haq jata du ..
Or kehdu tum behad khoobsurat **
Ye jo tumne akhon ke kajal ko b palko ki had me dal rakha hai.
In aankhon ne jane kitna kehar sambhal rakha hai.
Kya chamak hai aankho me jaise ek choti si khush duniya ka sapna paal rakha hai.
Socha cheru thoda tumhe or thoda sata du.
Are tumhe dekha aj to lga ye sab tumhe bta du.
Haq hai nhi mera koi phir b thoda haq jata du ..
Or kehdu tum nazneen **
Phir kuch tumhare galon k un khaddo ki gehrayi dekhi.
Na us se gehri koi khaayi dekhi.
Nazar htane wala tha k us muskan ne rok lia..
Muje aj sambhalne se pehle tere chehre nadan ne rok lia.
Jane tumhe ye sab kehna lagta hai khata kyu.
Are tumhe dekha aj to lga ye sab tumhe bta du.
Haq hai nhi mera koi phir b thoda haq jata du ..
Or kehdu tum dilnashi **
Vo choti si kali bindi jo thik maathe k me kahi hai.
Vo b har shayar ko kheench rahi hai.
Jaise muje kehti ** idhar aao tumhe kano k jhumko ka pta du.
Are tumhe dekha aj to lga ye sab tumhe bta du.
Haq hai nhi mera koi phir b thoda haq jata du ..
Or kehdu tum dalkashi **
Ye phir thode uljhe thode suljhe baal hai.
Inki to ada hi bemisal Hai
Tumhe tang karte hai.
Manmarji chalate hai jaise tujse jung karte hai.
Chere pe aate hai tum unhe phir peeche karti.
Kabhi clip se kabhi rubber se kheenche rakhti **
Kabhi aaye chehre pe to shayad main b hta du.
Are tumhe dekha aj to lga ye sab tumhe bta du.
Haq hai nhi mera koi phir b thoda haq jata du ..
Or kehdu tum koi kehkasha **
Or vo sone ki nath ko koi
kaise taal sakta hai.
Jise tumne apni teekhi si naak me daal rakha hai.
Or kuch batein in sab se pare hai.
Tera chutkan sa Gussa hai jane tu kaise handle kare hai.
Phir vo pyari si hasi vo sharm haya vo bachpana vo nadaniya.
Samjhdari vo nasamjhi
Vo adayein vo shaitaniya.
Or sambko tumne brabar rakha hai.
Jane ye hisab kaise lagakar rakha hai.
Kya kehna hai kya sunna hai kya bolna hai kya btana.
Kab ruthna hai kab manana hai kab satana hai kab jatana hai.
Teri har ek choti moti khoobiyon ne dil me aatank macha rakha hu.
Jane tune kitne salo se khud ko ishq se bacha rakha hai.
Jane mujme kab se or kyu ye thode guroor k lakshan aaye hai
K tuje suna sabne hai samjh sirf hum paaye hai.
Tum jaisa or koi mere aas paas ni hai.
Phir kaise manliya jaye tum aam ladki ** tum me kuch khas nahi hai.
Ha aj maine ek kadam apne beech ki sarhad se thoda bahar aaya.
Tumne apna hunar azmaya tha vo pic dalke use shayri bnake maine apna hunar aazmaya hai.
ye padhke tum socho k inam du is shayar ko ya koi saza du.
Are tumhe dekha aj to lga ye sab tumhe bta du.
Haq hai nhi mera koi phir b thoda haq jata du ..
Or kehdu tum afreen **
Tum khoobsurat **

Hawa ban aapke sanson me utar jaunga,
Bhulna chahoge to dil kone baith jaunga,
Chahe Kitni bhi nafrat ** aapke dil me,
Mai bhir bhi aapko chahunga,
Tu chand mai Tara ban jaunga,
Ghane badalon me mai kho jaunga,
Jab nind se band ** jayengi aapki aankhen,
Chupke se mai aapke sapne me aa jaunga,
Aapki khushi ke liye khud mar jaunga,
Bhawara ban aapke kano me gungunaunga,
Khuda aapke chehre par yu hi muskan bnaye rakhe,
Aapka har GAM mai sah jaunga
Mai phir bhi aapko chahunga....

Lahat ng kabataan ay kayang lumaban
Sa bansa na hindi ipinaglaban
Ang sakim ng imperyalistang kano ng kalawakan
Na Pinatay nila nang tuluyan ang kalayaan
O Inang bayan, sinaktan ka nang tuluyan
Sa ginawa ni kahel na agawin ang iyong yaman
Sa ganda mo ginawang kang alipin ,ngunit hindi ka pa rin ipinaglaban
Sapagkat ang ginawa, pinaslang nila ang boses ng mga mamamayan.
O inang bayan, narinig ko ang sigaw ng proletaryo
Humahanay sa rebolusyon tungo sa sosyalismo
Sa likas ng tapang ng mga kayumanggi
Nandito na kami para bumawi
Ang kulay aking binabanggit,
Na sa mata ng mga puti ay pangit,
Pero taglay ito ng lakas
Para umalis ang mga nangahas
Sa ganda ng bansa natin, iisa lang naman ang kulay natin
Kaya naman nating pabagsakin ang imperealismo, para sa soberanya
Taglay naman natin ang sigaw ng pagkakaisa
Sapagkat, oras nang umaksyon ang masa.

New York, Tel Aviv, Moscow, London, Netanya,
Bali, Istanbul, Riyadh, Beslan, Nisanit, Dublin
Londonderry, Glasgow, Manchester,
Spin Boldak (district), Kuta
Kano, Baghdad, Kandahar
Mumbai, Karballa, Boston
All for God, the almighty
God, the inhumanity in his name
God, the creator
I am weeping for the latest terror victims
141 injured in Boston
3 dead in Boston
Jesus Saves...tell that to the dead
When will it end?
I have nothing....just tears, and an emptiness
Confusion
I leave you all with your prayers, for all of those lost
Over time, to terrorist attacks listed and not listed
I pray for the lost, the living and the future
I remain confident in mankind....

Yarinya!
Born into a life which gave you little or no choices.
Your basket of options had only oranges for sale and a tray to balance on your head.
Yarinya!
Your small feet tread the path baked hot by the mean African sun.
Yarinya!
Working to cater for the adult mouths of those who forged you.
Yarinya!
Life has so much to offer you but how your arms are deprived their right to reaching out
because they support the tray on your head.
Yarinya!
The rags you wear shall not mark you out for shame.
Yarinya!
Your kind have shaped the world for the better.
Yarinya!
I heard about another of your kind who once sold bread on the streets of Lagos.
They say she unconsciously walked into a picture
and for her, that was the beginning of a new story.
Yarinya!
The tray on your head shall not suppress the intellect hidden in your head.
Yarinya!
Until I find you, hold on to that tray and sell the best oranges you can find.
Until I find you, bear the blisters on your feet for lack of shoes.
Until I find you, keep your story alive on your lips.
When I find you, we'll sell your story, "Yarinya Mai Talle."
And the world will know that her children
deserve much more than just clean water and UNICEF endorsements
or a tray of hawker's items and a society dead to its conscience.
Yarinya!
Where ever you are,
On the streets of Italy or under the bridge in Lagos,
Under the "dogon yaro" tree in Kano or in your father's house in Brazil
Until I find you,
God keep you from those seeking to marry you at five
so they can wife you at eight.
*Yarinya-means "young female"

Aaj phir se uski yaad ayi thi, Socha ke bhool jaun use.
teergi me takhliyon me shoreeda sa baitha tha, ke us ahl-e-wafa ki awaaz kano se takrayi thi,
Shadab Agar bhoolna hi tha to ye ishq ki tabeez kiu pehnayi thi,
tu to hum-nafs tha mera to bhoolna kaisa,
kal khwaab me deedar huwa tera aankhe khuli to sirf tanhayi thi

We fall asleep, under
The bright and blue
And, we are awake
With worst forlorness
In Kano, all our piektus
Are whining severely and
Our sight fluid, running
Torrentially on our cheeks...
Because, we can't justify
The darkness of that...
What had been done in
Infanticidal burial with
No hand to retaliate, and
Words to express and
Mouth to say and fingers
To indicate....
We stand glued all together
We are sisters and brothers
To seek a justice for mother
And the one who's a father
To bring back their feather
A young Hanifa she had gone
And the manslayer is still here
So,
We bow down to all,
Seeking, a justice call
For Hanifa, the tall...
To rest in peace forever

If Ondo is used for settlers
And Ogun is a river
Tell me about Oyo, an empire
You mispell Gwosh as Jos
Recognised Sokoto, a market
Far away from Osun, a river
Lakes is to Lagos
As Kogin is to Kogi
And Kebbi is synonymous to Ka'abba
Janzama, women power inspired Katsina
But Kano was a Blacksmith
While Kaduna means Crocodile
The people of the golden soils of Jigawa
To the river Imo Mmiri
They don't speak Gombe at all
Take me to the hills of "Enu Ugwu"
Following the hills in "Okiti"
Without navigating through Iduu
All Ebonyi are "Aboine"
Close the Delta that marries the atlantic
And Oyono, makes you Cross River
Don't say Benue, say "Binuwe"
Balga, Yelga, Salga formed Bayelsa
And I love Kasashen Bauchi
"Anyim Oma Mbala kwenu!"
But I love ladies from "Kwa Iboe"
Only legends understands this
Tell them I told you
Adamawa is a warrior
While Abia is a coinage
If I missed your state
Go back to the history books
This is just a drill...

My thoughts will maim you like Kano
Thinking of the pain-o makes you start drinking the draino
Count your days bro
Time for a puzzle for your brain-o
What likes kit and kaboodle but not the rain-o
I’d tell you but you wouldn’t get it
Like tots listening to Coltrane-o or Jimmy Hendrix
I’ve gots one more question, use your noodle
Pay attention! Better stop picking at your cuticles
Some kids only get to draw yankee doodles
They tag along at home while they eating ramen noodles
Other kids go to games with the family poodle
In the booth they get to sing a song, the Yankee Doodle
How much wealth do you think is in the bottom half?
Only 1 percent belongs to most, the riff raff
Inscribe that graph on my epitaph
On my deathbed, I just want to hear my children laugh
Many fellas feign money through poverty
The reality of my situation doesn’t really bother me
I’m full of funny sayings like Plato and Socrates
Such catchphrases as hey baby **** on these!
I’m just kidding I would never-ever do that
I have a reputation as a forever-ever cool cat
Whose that? Is he a juul rat? How many tats?
Henry, no, and none. Now say where’s your daughter at?
The poor burn wealth about as much as anyone
Though some can’t easily earn health for they many sons
She turn tricks for her son’s Trix and lego bricks
But in the end we all churn the same River Styx
How much wealth do you think is in the bottom half?
Only 1 percent belongs to most, the riff raff
Inscribe that graph on my epitaph
On my deathbed, I just want to hear my children laugh
Rich and poor both drinking coca-cola
Stress and storm both scary like paranoia
I’m thinking there’s a little societal unrest
The greatest generation watched King Kong beat on his chest
I want to scream just like Ann Darrow
Yelp for help but the people’s views too narrow
The news only shows what the shiny shoes say to
Not much we can do, so we wait till they get their due
Nothings gonna happen if we don’t make it
So write in, call in, tweet in and even pray it
They won’t admit it if we can’t force them to say it
Our last hope’s revolution, they’re not outdated
How much wealth do you think is in the bottom half?
Only 1 percent belongs to most, the riff raff
Inscribe that graph on my epitaph
On my deathbed, I just want to hear my children laugh

Hello, Hello Poetry Friends and Members.
I said a lot about the supposedly peaceful protest in my state. Maybe the administration of Kano State may arrest me sooner or later, but I pledge to be a tried and trustworthy activist.
I thank you all,
Auwal Habeeb Abdulqadeer.

_In Kano’s heart,
where the sun does gleam,
Lives a soul with a noble dream.
Sani Mainagge,
a name so bright,
Guiding us through day and night.
With wisdom deep and courage strong,
You lead us right,
where we belong.
In fields of green and skies of blue, Your spirit shines in all you do.
Through trials faced and victories won,
your journey’s path is never done.
A light in our lives you stay,
Lighting up the darkest day._

Pyaar ek jadu hi hai.
Aaj bade dino baad,
Unki aawaj sunayi padi kano pe,
Suna Kano ne ,
Asar hua pani se bhige aakho pe.
Aaj bade dino baad ,
Todi se jalak dikhayi di unki,
Dekha aankho ne ,
Asar hua yaado se bhare Dil pe.
Sun ke aawaj unki ,
Dekh ke chavi unki ,
Sukoon mila
