|a This is a poem commemorating the death of Sayyid Ahmad Badawy who was an important Islamic scholar and religious man; after his death he became to be considered a Saint. He was also known for his curative skills. The poem does not have a title, and the cataloguers decided to call it ‘Shairi la Kilio’-’The crying poem’. On the side of each page we find the names of Mohammed Sheikh Mohammed and Ali Mohammed Tahir. However, there is no indication that they are the authors of the poem. At the end of the poem there is the name of the owner of the manuscript as Faraj bin Khamis, who can be the scribe. There is no date on the poem, and the language is relatively modern KiAmu. This poem is followed by extracts from an incomplete religious poem, a Waadhi, and by fragments of a love song, and finally there is the well-known short poem entitled ‘Wanawake Watano’ praising five women. Most of these last poems are not easily readable because of the faded copy. The poems do not provide information about dates or authors. |
