500        |a Biographical information: Harries (1962) writes that Sayyid ‘Umar bin Amin bin Nadhir al Ahdal was a sharif from Yemen who migrated to Siu where he became a Kadhi sometimes in 1856 AD (1273 AH). He was a well-known poet who also wrote ‘Wajiwaji’. -- Muhammad Kijumwa was born circa 1855 in Lamu. He was a poet, scribe, performer, calligrapher, carpenter, taylor and sculptor who taught his daughter, Helewa, the craft of decorative woodcarving. He assisted many European scholars of Swahili literature, including William Taylor, Alice Werner, Carl Meinhof, H.E. Lambert, William Hichens, Ernst Dammann and John Williamson, and was a well-known member of Lamu society.

520 3    |a The third section of the manuscript, of 6 pages, contains a typed copy, in roman script, of a waadhi, in the form of a poem, entitled ‘Duri li Mandhuma’ by Sayyid ‘Umar bin Amin bin Nadhir al Ahdal, that has been extensively described in Mss 210006, 210007, 210008 (all in Arabic script). By the same author, we find, in the final section of the MS, a typed copy, in roman script, of another waadhi, also in the form of a poem, entitled ‘Wajiwaji’. The poem was transliterated by M. Kijumwa, in 1936. The poem is followed by notes, probably by W. Hichens, as well as a description of the poem of the most relevant words, and handwritten notes and drawings, by Muhammad Kijumwa. The last pages provide another copy of the poem, with English translation.
