MTUNZI WA MASHAIRI ALILILIA JENGO LA BEIT AL AJAIB!

ABOVE: The late Sayyid Barghash bin Said Al-Busaid, GCMGGCTE (1837 – 26 March 1888) (Arabic: برغش بن سعيد البوسعيد‎), was an Omani Sultan and the son of Said bin Sultan, was the second Sultan of Zanzibar. Barghash ruled Zanzibar from 7 October 1870 to 26 March 1888. Barghash is credited with building much of the infrastructure of Stone Town, including piped water, public baths, a police force, roads, parks, hospitals and large administrative buildings such as the (Bait el-Ajaib) House of Wonders.

 Tumetoka nalo mbali

Jumba hili la ajabu

Ukiingia na meli

Karibu hilo hujibu

Ni upenzi wa halali

Jengo hili la dhahabu

Ni huzuni kweli kweli

Kwaheri Bait al ajaibu


Wamepita babu zetu

Nao wamejalikuta

Na leo vizazi vyetu

Vinabakishiwa kuta

Iwapi thamani yetu

Wapi tutaitafuta

Nao utalii wetu

Ni wapi utajikita


Mtawala Barghashi

Kaacha historia

Milango yenye nakishi

Na ngazi za kuvutia

Marumaru nazo kashi

Sakafuni kazitia

Na nguzo zilizoishi

Karine na kuzidia


Hadhi yake jumba hili

Heshima halikupewa

Ukweli kuubadili

Usiasa ukatiwa

Vipi limethaminiwa

Bali limenajisiwa

Yalosemwa si halali

Mwasisi kusingiziwa


Mapenzi yakawa chuki

Jumba hili kuchukiwa

Maneno ya unafiki

Nguzo zilosimamiwa

Dhuluma na zetu dhiki

Jumba likaumbuliwa

Na jamii kwa malaki

Mambo wakisimuliwa


Walizikwa watu mule

Nguzo kusimamishiwa

Tumesomeshwa na shule

Uovu kuhadithiwa

Nawauliza wa kale

Ni kweli tuloambiwa?

Kupomoka jumba lile

Iwe ndo tusharudiwa?


Kama kweli twambieni

Mutunzao kumbukumbu

Na sasa tuelezeni

Msituache mbumbumbu

Jumba hili la zamani

Sura ya mji na ngambu

Limeshaanguka chini

Limeshuka nyambunyambu


Kweli hili litarudi

Kwa mazindiko ya watu

Tusifanye makusudi

Likaja athiri utu

Kama kwanguka ni radi

Tuliache twende zetu

Sura iliyojinadi

Hapo machoni mwetu


Nani asiyelijuwa

Aloishi Zanzibari

Namna lilivyokuwa

Mkabala na bahari

Lilikuwa letu uwa

Likipendeza vizuri

Ufundi ulotumiwa

Utabaki ni athari


Taa na mbele mizinga

Ililipambia jengo

Nguzo zilivyojipanga

Zimewekwa kwa mtungo

Chokaa rangi ya unga

Mikubwa yake milango

Meli zilotia nanga

Wageni husifu jengo


Ni turathi meanguka

Mamlaka mpo wapi

Utafiti wa hakika

Tujue chanzo ni kipi

Idara inohusika

Mnatuambia lipi

Pindi nyoyo taridhika

Beiti yetu ipo wapi

Tunalia kuondoka


Kama ilopigwa bomu

Na manowari ya vita

Lina historia tamu

Kwa mambo liloikuta

Mwenye akili timamu

Kumbukumbu hutafuta

Hasikizi yenye sumu

Ukweli hatoupata


La ajabu jengo hili

Kwenye bara ya swahili

Sifaze mefika mbali

Ukandawe wa saheli

Si sifa ya idhilali

Kwa wajuao ukweli

Hasa kusini ya mbali

Likitajwa jengo hili


Tenda mpya itangazwe

Jengo lisimame tena

Barghashi apongezwe

Asitajwe kwa laana

Mji na uendelezwe

Pasiwe kiwanja tena

Ramani na ichunguzwe

Mjenzi awe wa Maana


Haya mambo usanifu

Na waitwe waturuki

Wao watu maarufu

Nakishi wazimiliki

Wana historia ndefu

Wajenzi si wazandiki

Makka mji maarufu

Tenda wamezimiliki


Litajengwa kama kale

Tulione lilelile

Litwikwe mnara ule

Saa isiyo kelele

Umwagwe mchele tule

Siku hiyo tusilale

Waomani walewale

Riyali wazilipile


Pole beiti ajaibu

Kwa dhara ilokufika

Makovu tutayatibu

Kweli iondoe shaka

Matusi yalokuswibu

Hata ukaporomoka

Sasa yondoke sababu

Sote tuje faidika.


/Mtunzi ni Shk, Moh'd Suleiman Hibri!
