This is an epic poem composed by Mohamoud Samakab who lived in that era. It is long, long one, covers all the Daroods clans, summarizes extraordinary events, how Darood sub-clans like Marehan, Geri, migrated to the south and the west, but the salience upon which the theme of the poem rests on is the Darbadaaley War --a destructive war between Majerten with Tanade and Owrtable against Warsangeli. A war highlighted by Aw-Muuse's great ballad as well as Faadhfaadh.
It's poem learned and emulated by Sayyid Mohamed when he was young and other great Somal poets. The Poet is amazed by the contribution of Tanade and Owrtable and he seems to criticizing them for forgetting their long history and how their lands were dispossessed.
I like to scan this whole ballad because it has many ancient words that are hard to understand by modern Somalis. And the words are explained inthe footnotes .
A brief glimpse of it. I explained some of the words in brackets. Gabaygii Manja Xaabo (1840)
1. Wax badan baan ka maarsadey(leexday) colaad inaan maleegaaye

4. wax badan baan majeerteen ku iri geeri haw muhane
5. wax badan bay mindiyo ii listeen aan ka maadiyaye(diidey, reject)
6. Ooy xaajo aan meesha qaban mala awaaleene
7. Oon dagaalka kaga maagi jirey (joogi jirey) magaca Daaroode
8. marka waxaa go'aansadey inaan mur u walaaqaaye
9. wallee aniga way muuqataa say mar dhow noqone
10. maligii afeeyaye bal yaa mawdka celinaaya
11. yaa malowga(mulac madow) meeshaan ku rido moqor(god yar) ka saaraaya
12. yaa habar-majeerteen maslaxad dib ugu maaraynin
13. mahiigaanka guutada markaan Madar ka sii daayey
14. markii maqadnimiintii la xulay ducana loo miisay
15. maskab adag inay keenayaan waa midaan hubaye
16. miiganaanta waa lagu ogaa Moora-Saaantaha e
17. muritidii Suldaan- Cali-Dablaan soo marjicinaaye

DX you have to be clear, the Gabay was a response to the onslaught of a Dubeis subclan on the Cumar Maxamouds who sought the aid of the rest of Majarteenia. The might of Dubeis and or its sub sub clans are downplayed because a single subclan had overpowered an entire clan, MJ. The poem is an insult to Dubeis since Warsangelis had nothing to do with this quarrel.
Todays Puntland is met with Dubeis vs Puntland, the rest of the Warsangeli nation rarely gets involved since its not necessary and the Dubeis are warriors if pushed can conquer and eliminate their enemies.

Oldenglish, don't inject nonsense into this thread.
This is the most beautiful poem I have ever read. It was an strange era because the poet deprecates MJs as being Sailors and myrhh growers and pickers.
Also, the term Maxamed Nooleys used to be known as the bulk of Mjs.
In this version, the Poet accounts of the clash and its outcome.
* Moholleynta reer-Barigu waa marin habaabaane
* Markey mala weerareen miyaa mawjad soo kiciyey
* Muna-taag miyaan dhigey toggey nagu maleeyeene
* Malkaday banneeyeen miyaan weerar kaga miisey
* Madficiyo rasaastii miyaan toos u marin siiyey
* Ma mirkiciyey xooggii intaan olol ku maageerey
* Mulki Maxamed-Nooleys miyaan gacan ku soo meershey
* Maantaay miscirirtii jabtaye cuna macaankeeda
* Manja-xaabadii(title of the poem=defeat) aan la heley waa mid aan rabaye
* Illaah mahadii weeyaan haddaan kaa maxaabsadaye * Mayal dirirka sow reerkayaga magacii muu raacin
* Soo kii na maagaba warmaha muruq ku goyn mayno
* Macna dagaalku leeyahey ma baran ama muhlayntiise
* Melgo iyo Mugweer(shabag wax lagu dabto) laguma galo maalin dirireeda
* Faras muunad weyn iyo hubbaa laysku muug jaraye * Waa niman marquuskii badeed maahirka u yahaye
* Murjaan iyo waxay guran jireen maydi iyo fooxe
* Meel laysu soo baxay ma tegin maanta ka horow'e
* Magacley dagaalkii ka dhacay weli ma moogaane
* Weligoodba maal kuma xerayn muruq ay yeesheene..
It's a long long poem. Has anyone heard of this sub-clan, Makame??
In this section, he talks about all who were engaged in this long battle. He mentions the deployment of non-Daarood forces , perhaps mercenaries, for this purpose.
* Nimankii mawlkii dirirayn darxumey miiladiis tahaye
* Maqadimiinta xumi qoyska waa wada melgeeyaane
* Macmilkii la soo ururiyoo buurta lagu meershey
* Makamiyo Ammaanliyo kuwii marinka lay joojay
* Magacxume ma doonayn inaan midigta saaraaye
* Magligaygu wuxuu maagganaa nimanka mowlkoode
* Ma filayn Siwaaqroon inay soo mutixiyaane
* Maydkoodu goortuu batay oo xaajadii murugtay
* Maxamuud-saleebaan ka carar murankii goobeede
* Ceeb aan milmayn fool xumay midigta saareene....
* Alla may wadna meel xiraan Maalig baa jira'e
* Reer-Bari inaan mariyo talo igama miisnayne
* Magacooda baan liidayee waaba marin dhaafe
* Mid kaloo ka daran baa jirtee aan mar kale taabto
* Weligayba reer aanan maqal magaca uu sheegtey
* Oo miraha Daaroodku yahey meel ka soo gelinin
* Oo dagaal martabadii lahayn meesha soo tube ' e
* Markuu yidhi xarbiga soo mid gala diidey may odhane
* Sidaan waranka ugu maanacaa waa midaan jirine
* Sidaas bay muquuna u gesheen mas ugu loogeene
* Shabeelkii wax badan muudsan jirey calafsey miiddoode
* Nimaan mudankii dirirayn wallee laga mir roonaaye.
Qorraxdu cirka kalabarkiis ayay xoogaa dhaaftay, waxaana dhabanaysay layr fudud oo dhanka deexeed markaas ka soo bilaabatay, oo uu qabowgeedu dejiyey kulaylkii gabbalka maalintaas ka soo haadayay, kaas oo ay Maxamed iyo tuldaha uu la joogaba tan iyo barqadii la dhididayeen. Waxay naacawdaasi ruxaysay kob leh geedo waaweyn oo cumur ah, halkaas oo ay daaqayeen neefaf ka badbaadey dhacii ugu dambeeyey oo lagu qaaday geelashii dhawaan la weydaariyey, inta raggii dhaqay badankoodii hilibkoodii haadda loo waray.
Dabaysha duhur kolkii ay dhacdo wuxuu geelu qabatimay in uu dhirta waaweyn uu isagoo habeedinaya harsado oo hoosteeda ka daqaqamo, caws ama dhaayin afka la raadiyo. Waxaa, hase ahaatee, intaysan halihii cadceedsi u dareerin orday Maxamed oo u sii jeestey gurigii adeerkiis Aw-Muuse Ismaaciil oo ay da’diisu kolkaas toddobaatan sano ka badan tahay. Wuxuu labaatan jirkaas halaha barqa maalay duhurkii xaafadda ugu rooray waa jacayl uu u qabay in uu maqlo gabay uu ka malaynayay in uu wadaadka adeerkiis ahi ka tiriyo geeridii iyo cayrayntii loo geystey xoolohooda iyo xigtadooda.
Geed weyn oo aqalka hortiisa ah ayaa waxaa falag ku hawlanayd bahdii ugu yarayd ooriyaha odayga oo aan madaxa kor u qaadin ilaa uu Maxamed oo matoobbo sitaa soo dul istaagey oo yiri: ”Maxaa lagu harsaday?”
Araggiisa ugama ay nixin in aysan jeclayn ee waxay mooddey in uu dhiillo hor leh la dhalandhoolayay oo geelii yaraa oo haray uu col kale ulaha isugu dhuftay. Markii uu argagaxa wajigeeda saaqay dareemay buu inta qoslay wuxuu yiri: ”Odaygii ma joogaa?”
Maxamed xoogaa ayuu dul taagnaa duqdii oo falagteedii duubashida ahayd ku maqan, wuxuuna ka calool xumaaday in uusan wax gabay ah meeshaas ka helin. Ugu dambayntiina wuxuu asaga oo qalbi jaban yiri: ”Ma gabyay maanta?”
Markaas ayay toos u garatay sababta uu duhurkii u soo wirwiray waxayna ayada oo hawshii ay haysay u kaadisay oo dhoollocaddaynaysa tiri: ”Maandhow, kani damiinowye haddii aad gabyeysid gabay!”
Duhurkaas midkii ku xigey ayuu Aw-Muuse tix dheer oo gabay ah wuxuu ka mariyey fagaare ay beeshu isugu yeerteen si ay abaabul ay Darbadaaley udubdhexaad u tahay uga tashadaan, wuxuuna odaygu tixda ugu luuqiyey qaab xallad leh oo aan laga filayn in uu nin da’daas joogaa maansada uga dananiyo.
Inkasta oo uu ahaa ninkii ugu horreeyey oo gabay dheer afka Soomaaliga ku tiriyey, haddana waxaa tixda ka muuqata in ay lid ku tahay qaar ka mid ah tiirarka ugu waaweyn dhaqanka Soomaalida. Waxaa maansooyinka iyo maahmaahaha ku badan in aysan dumarka iyo dhallintu garasho fiican lahayn; hase yeeshee wuxuu gabyaagaani ku nuuxnuuxsaday in ay dhallinyaradu hayaan maskaxdii iyo muruqii bulshada lagu horumarin lahaa iyo in hawl kasta ayaga loo daayo, halka ay dadka filoobey nasniin iyo taakulayn u baahan yihiin oo aan waxba laga sugayn, waxaana tusaale buuxa ah meeriskakan: Daalicii markaa baxay nakhliga, boqol ka doorroone. Wuxuu kale oo darbad dhan ku guubaabiyey dumarka oo uu hab qurux badan u dhiirrigeliyey, isla markaas wuxuu kaga dabeecad duwan yahay maansooleydii hore in madaxda la canaanto oo aan hadalka lagala gabban.
Maansadan aad ayay intatan uga badan tahay. Sidii hadba tuducyo u lumayeen ayaa intaasi ka soo hartay, waana arrin aan la yaab lahayn. Waayo qoraal iyo cajalad midna gabaygakani ma gelinnin muddo qarni iyo badh ah oo afka ayaa laysugu tebin jirey.
Waxay Soomaalidu weligood isu sheegi jireen in markii uu Aw-Muuse Ismaaciil tixdaan mariyey uu raaciyey in aan Darbadaaley nin qarnigaas nooli ka jawaabi karin; haddiise uu nin qarni dambe iman doonaayi ka jawaabo in uu horay ka geeriyoon doono, waayo waa gabay sun halis ahi ku qarsoon tahay oo ay in laga gabbadaa habboon tahay.
1979kii ayaa waxaa maalin harkii jiq Walwaal u dhow ka soo baxay gaari gaashaaman oo uu rinjiga marsanaa u ekaa dharka ay xirtaan ciidamada difaacu oo tuutaha lagu magacaabo. Cirka waxaa ku hilnaa daruuro gibillo waaweyn ah oo xagga koofureed haddaayay ka soo gurmay, laakiin markaas la moodey in aysan soconayn oo ayaga oo heego ah isku gudbey afarta goonyood idilkood. Dhulka waxaa ka muuqatey abaar ku raagtey oo toontii uu gaarigu ka soo baxay geedeheeda iyo meeshii dhirta gaagaaban lahayd oo uu asaga oo weli guuxaya taaganaaba waxaa saarnaa tilmaamo jiilaal. Caleen kutaal ah mooyee mid doog waayadaas aagga laguma arag, waxaana abaarta ka darnaa colaaddii kharaarayd oo ay xudduudda dheer oo Itoobiya iyo Soomaaliya noqotay goobo dhiillo oo ay meydka iyo fuuqyadu dhagxantii ka bateen, dad iyo duunyana laga kala qaxay oo ay habeen iyo maalin isku hardinayeen guutooyin uu galowgu ooyey.
Haddana wuxuu baaruurkii u sii dhaqaaqay dhanka koofureed oo geedo waaweyn oo teelteel ahi ka muuqdeen, waxaana ka soo daba baxay dhawr gaarii oo kale. Xoogaa yar ka dib wuxuu soo dhex maray ciidan qoryo yaryar ku hubaysnaa oo ay badankoodu kadalloobeen. Hareeraha oo dhanna waxaa ka soo funaanay ciidan, waxaana jihadii uu gaariga gaashaamani ka yimid isi soo daba joogey baabuurro kala jaad ah.
Geed weyn hoostiis buu gaarigii istaagey waxaana ka soo degey saddex nin oo ay mid ka mid ah sii gaar ah ciidanku u eegayeen. Wuxuu ahaa wiil dheer oo aad caato u ah, oo indho godgodan leh, kaas oo filkiisu soddonka galay. Timihiisii adkaa way ku baxeen garkana intuu maalmo ka hor xiiray ayuu xoogaa foodda keenay oo curtiisii dheerayd baa toos loogu jeedey. Wuxuu dhexda hayey oo laalaadsanayey qori faalgurey ah kabo madmadow iyo tuutana wuu qabey.
Waxaa meel dhow ka hoortay hogol, ciidankiina waxay degdeg u taagteen teendhooyinkoodii. Isla markiiba waxaa isu ekaaday cirkii iyo dhulkii oo kabihii ciidanku waxay quusayeen daad xaafood dul sabbaynayey. Dhibcihii darbaallada darandoorriga ugu dhacayey iyo ufadii dhirta iyo dhismayaasha liiliijinaysey waxaa lala maqli waayey onkodkii badnaa oo ay ragga qaarkood dhegaha faraha geliyeen, waxaana xareeddii dhulka dulundulcaynaysey if qurxoon ku bixinayey biriqdii aan hakasha lahayn oo indhaha lagala gabbanayey.
Sagaal iyo labaatan jirkii timuhu ku baxeen bulaankii ciidanka kama uu qayb gelin ee aamus buu teendhadii ku jirsanayey, wuxuuna mar danbe kor daadkii uga qaaday faalgurayga kursigiisii si aysan birta biyuhu u gaarin. Kolkaas ayaa nin garabkiisa fadhiyey intuu jalleecay wuxuu ku yiri:
- Khaliif maxaad la fekereysaa?
Baxaalli ahaan Khaliif Shiikh-Maxamuud wuxuu ahaa nin aamus badan oo go’aan adag. Wuxuu ka fakaday ciidamadii booliska Soomaaliya oo uu asaga oo yar ku biiray, wuxuuna dhuumasho ku galay dalka Yemen oo uu ka dib ka sii aadey waddanka Sacuudi Carabiya, halkaas oo uu ka helay shaqo fiican.
Asaga oo galab casarkii shaqo ka soo rawaxay buu wuxuu soo maray niman soomaali ah oo ku maadaysanayey saraakiil maalintaas Soomaaliya lagu toogtey oo afgenbi ay dawladdii ku samayn lahaayeen lagu qabqabtay, wuxuuna galabtaas goostay in uu u kicitimo dalka Itoobiya si uu ugu biiro mucaarad waayadaas la abuuray. Galabtaas habeenkeedii wuxuu cajalad ku duubay gabay isla markiiba gaarey dhulal badan oo markii hore ay xukuumaddii Soomaaliya in uu tiriyey u maleeyeen nin la oran jirey Cali-Afyare Aw-Cilmi, kaas oo markii uu labo toddobaad xirnaa la siidaayey, maxaa yeelay idaacaddii mucaaradka ayaa markiiba oodda ka soo qaadday gabayo kale oo codkii Khaliif ah; waxaana markii Cali xabsigii laga soo daayey lagu khasbay in uu ka jawaabo gabaygii Hurgumo oo ahaa tixdii ugu horraysey oo Khaliif.
Maalintaas roobabawda ahayd, markii jirkii qaaday oo daadkii qaarna guray qaarna gudbey waxay ciidan sayax farfadhiyaa habsami u dhegaysteen luuqdii Khaliif Shiikh Maxamuud oo uu ku mariyey Doogkiciye oo uu kaga jawaabayey Darbadaaley. Markii uu sheegay in uu gabaygii sunta ahaa faragelin ku samaynayo ayaa raggii qaar u digeen, wuxuuna ku jawaabey:
- Geeri iyo nololba Eebbe ayaa ii haya.
Aw-Muuse Deelleyda gabay, adi laguu daaye
Adigaa dabuubtiyo [37] tixaha, soo dabaal baraye,
Deelqaaf la’aan waadigii, daaddahayn jiraye.
Doorroone mawdkii hadduu, dunida kaa dheelmay
Malag Eebbe soo diray hadduu, maradii kaa diiray
Gegi ay dillaacsheen haddii, lagugu hoos duugey.
Rabbi kuu dallaayadi qabriga, labada daamoode
Oo derejo dheer iyo ku saar, dadab sariireede,
Ku dangiigso meel roon adaan, diinta caasiyine!
Denbidhaaf lagaa yeel wadaad, daahiraad tahaye
Durdurkii firdowsiyo ku waar, daar naciimo ahe,
Duddadii Rasuulkiyo la shawr, duul malaa’ig ahe.
Dulinkii cadaabeed Ilaah, kaaga derejeeye,
Jahannamo ka durug waadigii, daacadda ahaaye,
Dahrigaaga naartii Allow, aanay ku doobbayne!
Dulmi nimaan aqoon Aakhiraa, dabaq la seexshaaye
Nin dallacay ahaw oo waxaad, doontaba ha waayin,
Dunji xuuralcayn ihi Jannada, kuu dabbaaldega’e!
Afartaas midaan kuu dalboo, kuu durraansaday dheh!
Kalgacayl dun weyn oo qalbiga, igu dahaarraa dheh!
Ducadayda aammiin in uu, Daayin kuu qoro’e!
Hayeeshee dantaan uga socdaan, kuugu daadegine;
Sidii ruux intuu daqar ku yaal, daqantay laandeyre,
Darbadaaley goortaan maqlaan, wada dubaaxshaaye!
Waan wada deddoodaa sidaan, duumo baas qabo’e
Dubka un baan dhaqaajaa sidaan, diilalyaysnahaye
Markaad dakhalka jabay sheegto baan, dan u ilmeeyaaye.

Markaas xaaskii wadaadka maxbuuska ahi, iyadoo naxsan safaaraddii dalkeeda Soomaaliya u fadhidey magan gashay. Waxaa la tuhunsan yahay in ay arrintaasi ugu weyneyd sababaha keenay in uu Khaliif Darbadaaley ka jawaabo.
