In the debate that followed Dr. Abdi Garad (@agaraad)'s foray into a small part of my closing remarks on @Somali_Stream's Civic Space on Tuesday, July 15, 2025, he insinuated that "ma-hayo-moog" — a description I used in one of my statements— is not included in the proper Somali lexicon. 

Searching the depths of my memory of the Somali language and literature, I found that the late Somali star, Dhabarlow, used the exact description in one of his famous songs of the epic "Maadeys" concert, composed by the legendary Singub; may Allah grant both of them Jannah.

Enjoy!

🎼Macalin, waaya-arag maxaan ahay;

Maxay maqlayaan dheguhu;

Mas'alo ugub ahoo  aan curan;

Waa maadays adduunyadu;

Dadkuna wey metalayaan; 

Inta 💡ma-hayo-moog 💡-gaan;

Ha maqleen is leeyahay.🎼
