      Nimebadilika 2011 - Dardanus Mfalme

      Angalizo:

      Katika haya mashairi ya kisasa, maneno niliyoyatohoa kutoka kwenye lugha ya Kiingereza na lugha nyinginezo, nimeyahesabia vina kwa jinsi maneno hayo yanavyotamkwa.

      Kwa mfano: Maneno; Fensi, chansi, rasta, pensi, kingi, plani, yanki, klabu, dokta, denja, n.k. nimeyahesabia vina viwili kila moja.

      Maneno; Pasenti, stori, na frikwensi nimeyahesabia vina vitatu kila moja.

      Maneno; Hendisamu, adivansi na mastimu, nimeyahesabia vina vinne kila moja.

      Sehemu ya kwanza

      Mashairi ya Kisasa

      Image_001.jpg

      01. Nimebadilika

      Sauti nilisikia, toka kwa baba mbinguni,

      Mungu akiniambia, kwa sauti ya rohoni,

      Badiliko zingatia, nikubariki mwanani,

      Nimebadilika mwaka, mbili ziro moja moja.

      Badiliko si rahisi, kubadilika ni kazi,

      Nikapata wasiwasi, watasemaje wazazi,

      Nikadadisi dadisi, nisionekane chizi,

      Nimebadilika mwaka, mbili ziro moja moja.

      Katika kusitasita, swali nikajiuliza,

      Badiliko nikipata, nini nitachopunguza?

      Nikakusanya na data, ili nisijejichuza,

      Nimebadilika mwaka, mbili ziro moja moja.

      Ubishi ukanijia, badiliko sihitaji,

      Maisha yako sawia, mwili bado una chaji,

      Tena nikiangalia, ninavyo bwena vipaji,

      Nimebadilika mwaka, mbili ziro moja moja.

      Mungu nikamuambia, ni noma kubadilika,

      Mitikasi yanijia, hadi ninatajirika,

      Kama kukutumikia, subiri nikizeeka,

      Nimebadilika mwaka, mbili ziro moja moja.

      Kisha nikapata dili, mradi na dingi yangu,

      Milioni mia mbili, ukawa mtaji wangu,

      Tukisha chuuza mali, tutagawana mafungu,

      Nimebadilika mwaka, mbili ziro moja moja.

      Nikamdodosa Mungu, sasa na tusemezane,

      Na iwe ishara kwangu, nichenji ama nichune,

      Badiliko si la kwangu, nikipata fungu nene,

      Nimebadilika mwaka, mbili ziro moja moja.

      Kimbembe kikambeluka, shauku ikawa shaka,

      Maneno yakageuka, ngoja hadi nikachoka,

      Nilipokuja zinduka, zungu wamenizunguka,

      Nimebadilika mwaka, mbili ziro moja moja.

      Ishara ikatimia, nikala changa la macho,

      Sana nikafikiria, ni nini kifuatacho,

      Ni Mungu kumrudia, kuchenji bila kificho,

      Nimebadilika mwaka, mbili ziro moja moja.

      Fundisho nimefundishwa, nalo nimelielewa,

      Nikitaka neemeshwa, nazo baraka kupewa,

      Lazima kubadilishwa, gundu ziweze ng’olewa,

      Nimebadilika mwaka, mbili ziro moja moja.

      02. Daima

      Macho ninapoyafunga, moyo ninaufungua,

      Nuru inanipa mwanga, nami nakusogelea,

      Ingawa kuna majanga, duniani yatokea,

      Daima nitakupenda, Mungu uliyeniumba.

      Wengi wananisengenya, wadai nimepotea,

      Kila ninachokifanya, wanasema nakosea,

      Kamwe sitajigawanya, Baba kwako natulia,

      Daima nitakupenda, Mungu uliyeniumba

      Kalamu ninacharaza, tenzi nakuandikia,

      Baba Mungu sikiliza, shairi nakuimbia,

      Hata ngoma nitacheza, nitapiga na gitaa,

      Daima nitakupenda, Mungu uliyeniumba.

      Ni tunu ilotukuka, kwako bure nimepata,

      Hadharani nabwatuka, sitamki kwa kusita,

      Umenipenda Rabuka, umenipaka mafuta,

      Daima nitakupenda, Mungu uliyeniumba.

      Neema ulizonipa, kwa heshima napokea,

      Milele sitazitupa, nazidi kuzitumia,

      Hazifanani na fupa, fisi alochekelea,

      Daima nitakupenda, Mungu uliyeniumba.

      Ndugu msinililie, jililieni wenyewe,

      Mungu nimtumikie, kwake nisikataliwe,

      Salama nikiwa nae, hata nirushiwe mawe,

      Daima nitakupenda, Mungu uliyeniumba.

      Ulichokificha kwao, wenye nguvu na heshima,

      Umenigea mwanao, nashukuru kwa neema,

      Umenijaza upeo, maarifa na hekima,

      Daima nitakupenda, Mungu uliyeniumba.

      03. Kidosho

      Pale panapo mapenzi, lazima pendo liwepo,

      Nilimhusudu manzi, mwenye mapepe ya popo,

      Moyo ulikufa ganzi, na moyoni mwake sipo,

      Mpende akupendaye, kidosho achana naye.

      Manzi mzuri wa umbo, mtindi umetulia,

      Kiuno sawa na tumbo, miguu chupa ya bia,

      Vya nyuma vyake vijambo, kama tuta vimejaa,

      Mpende akupendaye, kidosho achana naye.

      Sura yake yavutia, utadhani malaika,

      Sauti yenye mafua, kaita nikaitika,

      Moyo ukamridhia, nikadhani nimefika,

      Mpende akupendaye, kidosho achana naye.

      Mtaka cha uvunguni, ni shuruti ainame,

      Nikanunua hereni, na nguo kwangu azame,

      Nikamwonyesha nyumbani, kwengine asitazame,

      Mpende akupendaye, kidosho achana naye.

      Dalili yake mvua, ni mawingu yalotota,

      Simu nikimpigia, yeye huwa anakata,

      Meseji nikimwachia, katu hanijibu hata,

      Mpende akupendaye, kidosho achana naye.

      Marijani aliiimba, wimbo tukausikia,

      Hata demu awe bomba, na sura ya kuvutia,

      Si jambo la kujitamba, uzuri njema tabia,

      Mpende akupendaye, kidosho achana naye.

      Penda asiyependeka, heri bega jipanguse,

      Haki mwisho nimechoka, penzi la usiniguse,

      Moyoni mwangu ondoka, kama kukosa nikose,

      Mpende akupendaye, kidosho achana naye.

      04. Ombaomba

      Endapo ninakosea, naomba nikosoeni,

      Sio yangu mazoea, kubwabwaja hadharani,

      Nataka wadokezea, visa vya ulimwenguni,

      Mbwa analala ndani, binadamu darajani.

      Utu umekwenda wapi? Haya hatuoneani,

      Wenye huruma wangapi, wamebaki duniani?

      Katika watu ni yupi, asiyevaa miwani?

      Mbwa analala ndani, binadamu mitaani,

      Kina mama na watoto, wanaishi mitaani,

      Wala hawana kipato, wamekosa tumaini,

      Mnapopita mapito, huruma waoneeni,

      Mbwa analala ndani, binadamu machakani,

      Senti sio msaada, makazi tuwajengee,

      Wengine
