2. Soma ushairi kisha ujibu maswali yatakayofuata:

Julize ni kwa nini, uanzapo kuongea

Sana sana makundini, watu hukutondokea

Ndugu ujitathmini, hakika umepotea

Sisi twakuombea, mwenye damu ya kunguni!

Mwenye damu ya kunguni, nayo lugha ya ajuza

Wengi hawamtamani, maneno yake yaliza

Yeye ana walakini, dosari kuliko pweza

Kama wewe umefunza, sote hutuona duni!

Sote hutuona duni, na hilo tumezowea

Kazi zetu zote guni, yeye tu amebobea

Umewachokoza mbuni, mateke anapokea

Sisi twakuombea, upae hadi hewani!

Upae hadi hewani, ujione kama bingwa

Mewashinda gazetini, wandishi kwako wapingwa

Yeye kwetu mpinzani, metia mipaka tingwa

Twakuombea mtafiti, hesabu hadi mizani!

Hesabu hadi mizani, utunge kwa kukosoa

U hodari hesabuni, nasi tushakuzoea

We nduli kwa majirani, na waja mekutegemea

Kurekebisha hujui, ywatanika peupeni!

Ywatanika peupeni, ywajisifu mjuaji

Amezidi zetu mboni, na amevijunjia mji

Twamwachia waamuzi, kesi wasome majaji

Sisi twakuombea, sirekebike kidogo!

Uchambuzi wa Ushairi

Step 2

First, let's look at part A, which asks for the message or theme of the poem. The poem addresses someone who is proud or boastful, and who isolates themselves through their words and actions. It warns that such behavior leads to being shunned by others.

a) Ujumbe

Shairi hili linatoa onyo dhidi ya tabia ya majivuno, kiburi, na dharau kwa wengine. Muhusika anahimizwa kujitathmini kwa sababu maneno yake yanawakimbiza watu na kumwacha pweke.

Step 3

Now for part B, we evaluate the structure or 'muundo' of the poem. We can see that each stanza, or 'ubeti', has four lines, which makes it a 'tarbia'. Also, notice how the last line of one stanza becomes the first line of the next stanza. This is a specific structure called 'pindu'.

b) Muundo wa Shairi

1. Shairi lina beti sita.

2. Kila ubeti una mishororo minne (Tarbia).

3. Shairi ni la aina ya pindu, ambapo mshororo wa mwisho wa ubeti unatanguliza ubeti unaofuata.

4
Step 4

Moving to part C, we identify the 'bahari' or poetic categories based on word arrangement. Since the poem uses that 'pindu' style where lines repeat between stanzas, it is categorized as 'Bahari ya Pindu'.

c) Bahari ya Shairi

Bahari ya Pindu: Hii ni kwa sababu mshororo wa mwisho wa ubeti uliotangulia unakaririwa kama mshororo wa kwanza wa ubeti unaofuata.
