Tunda

Description:
SWAHILI: Shairi hili la Ustadh Mau linahusu kuzaliwa kwa mtoto wake wa kwanza aliyeitwa Fathi. Analinganisha kupokea zawadi hiyo kutoka kwa Mungu na matunda ambayo wanadamu wamebarikiwa nayo. Shairi linazungumza juu ya matamanio ya Ustadh Mau kupata "tunda" ambapo siku hiyo alibarikiwa tunda kwa umbo la mtoto wake. Anamshukuru Mungu kwa zawadi hii ya uhai na anaomba kwamba mtoto wake akue na afya njema na kulindwa na Mungu.<br>ENGLISH: This poem by Ustadh Mau is about the birth of his first-born child named Fathi. He compares the receiving of such a gift from God to the fruits that humanity is blessed with (tunda translating to fruit). The poem speaks on Ustadh Mau's yearning for "fruit" which that day he received in the form of his baby. He thanks God for this gift of life and prays that his son will grow up to be healthy and protected by God.

Kimya ndio nembo yangu

Description:
SWAHILI: Ustadh Mau aliandika shairi hili juu ya umuhimu wa kujua wakati wa kukaa kimya. Anabainisha kuwa unapoambiwa uvumi kuhusu jambo au mtu fulani ni vyema ukanyamaza na kutoingilia kwani kujihusisha na mambo hayo ni tabia ya kukosa heshima. Anaandika kwamba ikiwa kuzungumza kunaweza kuonekana kama pesa basi ukimya ungekuwa dhahabu. Anaandika jinsi angependelea kujiuma ulimi na kutozungumza badala ya kusema na kujiingiza katika hali ngumu.<br>ENGLISH: Ustadh Mau wrote this poem on the importance of knowing when to stay silent. He notes that when being told rumours about something or someone it is best to keep quiet and not interfere as engaging in such things is disrespectful behaviour. He writes that if talking could be seen as money then silence would be gold. He writes how he would rather bite his tongue and not speak as opposed to speaking and possibly getting into difficult situations.

Ufisadi

Description:
SWAHILI: Shairi hili limeandikwa na Abdalla Soud Maawiya. Shairi hili ni jibu la shairi ambalo Ustadh Mau aliwahi kuliandika kuhusu ufisadi na pia liliandikwa kama mashairi ya mazoezi ya Abdalla Soud Maawiya mwenyewe. Katika shairi hilo, anasisitiza kwamba ufisadi ni jambo la ulimwengu wote na si jambo mahususi kwa Kenya. Anasema pia kwamba ni wakoloni wa Magharibi ambao kwanza waliwafundisha watu ufisadi na hongo halisi ni nini, pamoja na dhana kwamba wanasiasa wengi ni mithili ya watangulizi wao.<br>ENGLISH: This poem was written by Abdalla Soud Maawiya. The poem is a response to a poem that Ustadh Mau had previously written about corruption and also written as practice poetry for Abdalla Soud Maawiya himself. In the poem, he makes the point that corruption is a universal thing and not a phenomenon specific to Kenya. He also argues that it was the Western colonizers who first taught people what true corruption and bribery was, as well as the notion that most politicians are replicas of their predecessors.
