|a In this MS we find another version of the famous religious poem ‘Utendi wa Waji Waji’. [See notes for further versions]. In the poem the author laments of the human tendency to struggle against God and to urge to adhere to the principles of Islam. The Waji Waji is followed by another famous religious poem entitled ‘Dura li Mandhuma’ also to be found in the Mss listed in the Notes. The MS ends with a collection of short waadhi, religious poems. |
