Na7ima biitta asi gidida Soofari haysada yaagidi zaaris; 
“Ne oday tana lancisida gisho, ta ellesada ne odaas zaaro immana. 
Ne oday ta bonchuwa qaariya gisho, ta akeekay new zaaro immana mela tana denthethees. 
Asi biitta bolla de7ida wodepe doomidi, benipe hanidaba eraasa. 
Iita asa ceeqoy qantha wodesa; Xoossaa eronna asaa ufaysay guutha wodesa. 
Iita asa otoroy salo gakanaw dhoqu giikoka, iya huuphey shaara gakidi bochikoka, 
I baana mela pitetidi dhayana; Iya kase eriya asay ‘I awun de7ii?’ yaagana. 
Elmoda paallidi dhayana; simmidi bentenna; qamma amuhoda coo dhayana. 
Iya kase be7ida ayfeti zaaridi iya be7okona; I ba de7iya bessaafe tim7i gidi dhayana. 
Aaway bonqi ekida miishe, iya nayti banta kushen guye zaarana. 
Iya meqethaa kumida na7atetha wolqay iyara issife biittan zin7ana. 
“Iitatethi iya doonan mal7iko, I ba inxarsaafe garsan qosiko, 
wuronnaada ba doonan oykidi, wothi aggiko, 
iya uluwan camo gidana; wodhiya shoosha marze gidana. 
Iita asi mitida shaluwa zaari cuttana; iya uluwan de7iya ubbaa Xoossay cooshshana. 
Iita asi miyabay iyaw marze gididi, iya wodhana. 
Eessinne maathi haathada goggishin, I be7onna attana. 
Ba daabura ayfiya moonna haras immana; zal7idi wodhisida wodhiyan ufaytenna. 
Hessi haniday I manqota un7ethida gishonne hara asi keexida keethaa bonqida gishosa. 
“Iya iita amoy shempo diggis; shiishida shaloy iya ashshanaw danda7enna. 
Iya shaloy wuriya gisho, iya duretethay gam7enna. 
Iyaw aqoy kumidi de7ishin, metoy akeekona iya bolla gaki wodhana. 
Iya uloy kaalliya wode, Xoossay wolqaama hanquwa iya bolla gussana. 
Birata mashshafe I baqatana; shin naase birata dongey iya caddana. 
He dongey iya zokora kanthi keyana; phooliya xeeray iya tiriya kanthi aadhana; dagami iya wozanaa waabaqisana. 
I shiishida aqoy sakana dhuman dhayana; asi oythiboonna tami iya maana; iya keethan attida shalo ubbaa xuuggana. 
Saloti iya nagaraa qoncisana; sa7ika iyaw morke gidana. 
Xoossaa hanqo gallasan, iya keethaanne iyaw de7iyaba di7oy efana. 
Xoossay geellatas wothida qaaday, iita asaas giigisida gatey haysa” yaagis.
