A day of
traditional decoration
Studded
in turbans and Alkyabbas
Horses
of different colours
Hakimai ride in diffrent styles amidst adoration
As a
rainbow in the sky
It is
your day Yanlifida
You
should sing and shout
The
ancestral praises
The sky
and the earth vibrates
As Maitafari and his clique approach
Their
guns echo with dust
Maza sun danno
The Emir
and his horse
Shielded
and covered from the Sun
With a
big umbrella
His dogarai chat and greet
Gyara gaba, gyara baya
Sarki ya gaishe ku
It is
Sallah day
The
Durbar of Hausaland
