Qoraaga ayaa yidhi
Guri Waa Haween wax buu ku biirin karayaa oo kuma qadi doono, kumana hungoobi doono ruux kasta oo xiiseeya hiddaha iyo dhaqanka soomaalidu, gaar ahaan waxa uu xog iyo aqoon kobocsan ku kordhinayaa hooyooyinka casrigan ee magaalo galeenka ah, dhallinyarada rag iyo dumarba, gaar ahaan kuwooda qurba-joogga ah ee ku indha dillaacsanaya hiddaha iyo dhaqammada kale. Qof walba oo soomaali ah waxa uu buuggu dib u milicsiinayaa, una xusuusinayaa waaya-waayo iyo beri hore halkii ay godolba soo joogtey, waana 'xoorkii laga dhamay xagaagiyo xusuus baa geela lagu xer geeyaa''. Dadka shisheeyaha ah ee xiiseeya ama dersa hiddaha iyo dhaqanka soomaalida waxa uu iyana buuggu ku hubaynayaa aqoon iyo xog aasaasi ah. Dhinaca kalena buuggu waa dawan iyo caroog hurdada ka kicinaya oo baraarujinaya dadka soomaalida, kuna boorrinaya in ay jiifka ka hinqadaan oo dib u soo nooleeyaan dhaqanka iyo aqoonta hiddahooda habaasku fuulay, boodhkana ka jafaan oo ku dhaataan, horena u mariyaan, halkaasna uga sii gudbaan xidhiidhka adduunka kale iyo wixii laga korodhsanayo ama laga soo ammaanaysanayo.

The life of people in the countryside is based on the contribution and ability of each person in the community: men, women and children. In this book Maxamed Baashe shows us the role of women in the society and in particular the poetry and songs they compose and perform. This is the first book to look specifically at this and is an important contribution to Somali cultural studies.

Dharaarta la arko ee labka soomaaliyeed qiro; ee si aan hagar lahayn uu isula soo mutuxo kaalinta haweenku leeyahay, "Guri Waa Haween" waxa maalintaas loo aqoonsan doonaa irriddii ugu horraysey ee qiraalkaas laga soo galay. Waa buug aan ku tilmaami karo dhagixii loogu baaqay ninkii la wareegayey lafta uu dhuuxeeda hungurigu ka galay; wuxuu ku jabsadana waayey ee uu ku baxay hal hayska ah "Laflow waa dhagax". Hadal iyo murti qoraaga Maxamed Baashe X. Xasan wuxuu ina yidhi "Labkow Guri Waa Haween".

'Guri Waa Haween' waa hanti maguuraan ah oo u baahan in aqal kasta la dhigo. Waa hage u daadihinaya jiilasha soo koraya nolol caddaalad ka simaysa kaalinta suugaanta dumarka iyo ta raggu ay kaga jiraan aasaaska bulshadeenna. Waa buug u qalma in lagu daro manhajka waxbarashada ee dugsiyadeenna.
