Ensolo dhaakoba dhiti, "Kiidha kuba kirungi inho okuba n'amagulu."

Dhaayemba era dhaakina.
Ensolo dhaakoba dhiti okweghalula kuzibu.

Dhaali dhiwulira obulumi.
Ensolo kamala dhaaja ewa Wamagulu.

Entwiga, empologoma, endhovu, obumyu, engoina, n'enhonhi dhaasimba olunhiriri.
Buli nsolo yagheebwa amagulu ana.

Enhonhi dhaagheebwa abiri abiri.
Buli kintu kyacuuka, ensolo bwedhaafuna amagulu.

Edhindhi dhaakina mu kusagamba. Edhindhi dhaagwa ghansi.
