|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 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. |
