|a This poem is a religious admonition and prayer composed in an acrostic style. Its title is a Swahili form of the Arabic words ‘ad-duraru al-mandhum,’ meaning ‘strung pearls.’ The acrostic style works as follows. In the first verse, each of the first three vipande, or hemistiches, begins with the same letter of the Arabic alphabet (alif); in the second verse, each of the first three vipande begins with the next letter (bei), and so forth. Swahili makes no distinction between the sounds represented by certain Arabic letters, a circumstance that is reflected in the poem. |
