Lyrics

Abab

Dhiigii dadkaygow
Nimcadii dhulkayow
Dhididkii duqaydow
Agabkii dhallaankow
Dhaayahayga aragow
Dhagahayga maqalkow
Dhaqankiyo tilmaantow
Dhuuxiyo naftaydow
Dhudhunkii barbaartow
Dhaxalkii agoontow
Midabkaaga dhowrkaa
Midi waa xinjiro dhab ah
Dhimashada wadanigee
Midna waa buluug dhab ah
Soomaalida dhankeedee
Midna waa cagaar dhab ah
Barwaaqada dhulkeenee
Awood allaad ku dhalatayee
Awood allaad ku dhisantayee
Awood allaad ku dhaqantayee
Waligaa dhisnoow ee aamiin aamiin
Waligaa ha dhicinee aamiin aamiin
Dhidibkii Islaamkee
Quraan lagu dhameeyow
Taariikhdiyo dhigaalkow
Halgan la isu dhiibow
Difaac aan dhamaanow
Dhuuxa geesigaygow
Dhabbihii xornimadow
Dhaqaalaha naftowdow
Indhihii xusuustow
Dhaawaca daweeyow
Midabkaaga dhowrkaa
Midi waa xinjiro dhab ah
Dhimashada wadanigee
Midna waa buluug dhab ah
Soomaalida dhankeedee
Midna waa cagaar dhab ah
Barwaaqada dhulkeenee
Awood allaad ku dhalatayee
Awood allaad ku dhisantayee
Awood allaad ku dhaqantayee
Waligaa dhisnoow ee aamiin aamiin
Waligaa ha dhicinee aamiin aamiin
Ku dhex jiraha beerkow
Neef dhowrayaashow
Wadne la iga dheegow
Gacmihiyo dhaqaaqow
Dhabarkiyo xanjaarkow
Caqligaan ku dhaatow
Kulli dhiig mareenkow
Dhammaantii jirkaygow
Dhakhtarkii I baaree
Dhibkaan qabay bogsiiyow
Midabkaaga dhowrkaa
Midi waa xinjiro dhab ah
Dhimashada wadanigee
Midna waa buluug dhab ah
Soomaalida dhankeedee
Midna waa cagaar dhab ah
Barwaaqada dhulkeenee
Awood allaad ku dhalatayee
Awood allaad ku dhisantayee
Awood allaad ku dhaqantayee
Waligaa dhisnoow ee aamiin aamiin
Waligaa ha dhicinee aamiin aamiin
