|a This Ms contains the famous religious poem ‘Kasida ya Burda’ originally written in Arabic by the thirteen century Egyptian poet Sheikh Muhammad bin Said al-Busiry (1213-1294). The poem was translated into Swahili by Sh. Muhammed bin Athman al-Hilai Mshela (1840-1930) sometimes towards the end of the 19th century. The present version was obtained by Allen, in the 1960s, from Nana binti Omar from Shela, who then deposited at the Library of the University of Dar es Salaam. The poem praise the Prophet Mohammed, and it is the same genre as the Hamziyya, in the sense that it is a translation from an original Arabic text, and became part of Swahili religious literature and performed at religious ceremony. The Swahili text is written in the KiAmu dialect with many old forms. It is composed in the Utenzi form with 162 verses. |
