|a In this final section of MS 47754 there are various poems and love songs. The section begins with an incomplete version of ‘The Mzigo Song’ by Ali Koti, transcribed by Mohammed Kijumwa in 1936. Then, there are various shot poems transcribed by Khamis b. Mwenye Kombo, Ahmed b. Muhammed b. Ahmad al-Mambassy, Sheikh Majod b. Jabir, Muhammed bin Salim, and Mwalimu Sikujua. This short collection is followed by an interesting poem from Siu that narrates the historical events when Sultan Majid of Zanzibar took control of Pate and Siu and imprisoned King Bwana Mataka, the ruler of Siu. The unknown author of the poem blames the people of Siu for the defeat and he gives treason as the reason for the defeat. AnOther poem that follows is addressed to the people of Mombasa, called Mvita, and it is also a poem that blames the people for their defeat. This poem is not as explicit as the previous one, however it could be referring to the defeat of the Mazrui and the taking over of Mombasa by Sultan Said bin Sultan of Zanzibar. The poem is followed by a short collection of ‘Qala Shairi’ from unknown authors, and discussing general matters of life in Swahili society. Finally, the section contains a few religious poems and the last page contains an incomplete poem that praises the beauty of a woman. |
