Ahmad S. Nuhu with his wife Hafsat Shehuh in their film Yayee (2006).

Allah ya jikansa. Allah ya sa ya hutu. Allah ya ba ta hakuri. May he rest in peace, and may God bring her comfort.

This clip gives me chills. Wayyo Allah! Bani da kalma cikin bakina sai wakoki da na karanta.

Sonnet 73
That time of year thou mayst in me behold
When yellow leaves, or none, or few, do hang
Upon those boughs which shake against the cold,
Bare ruined choirs, where late the sweet birds sang.
In me thou seest the twilight of such day
As after sunset fadeth in the west,
Which by and by black night doth take away,
Death's second self that seals up all in rest.
In me thou seest the glowing of such fire
That on the ashes of his youth doth lie,
As the death-bed whereon it must expire,
Consumed with that which it was nourished by.
This thou perceiv'st, which makes thy love more strong,
To love that well which thou must leave ere long.
---William Shakespeare

1. Hazimul lazzati mutuwa
Baktatan ta ka zo wa kowa
Ba (notice) koko sanarwa,
In ta zo maka ba musawa,
Wai ka ce ba za ka je ba.
....

15. Mutuwa ba ta kulawa
Saurayi ko 'ya budurwa,
Yanzu ta mai she su gawa,
Babu sauran shak'atawa,
Ba ko za ta jira biki ba.

16. Mutuwa bara ya shaho,
Ta buge yaro da tsoho,
Ta kade kuturu makaho,
Wani ma tun kan a haiho,
Zai mace ba ko da wai ba.

17. Mutuwa in har ta sauka,
A gida wani za ta d'auka,
Ba ruwanta da masu son ka,
Yanzu ka ji ana ta kuka,
Wanda bai hana dauke ran ba.

18. Yanzu aya zan karanta,
'Yan'uwa kowa ya ji ta,
Ko na bayyana ma'anarta,
Yadda kowa zai fahimta,
Ba na bar ta dunk'ule ba.

19. Aina ma kuntum ku gane,
Yudrikumul mautu ku ne,
Ai walau kuntum mutane,
Fi Burujin can gaban ne,
'Yan'uwa ban k'arasa ba

20. Ma'ana Allahu ya ce,
Koina ne kun kasance,
Za ta zo muku kar ku mance,
Mutuwa Allah sa mu dace,
Kan ta zo mana duk mu tuba.
...
--Sani Yusuf Ayagi from Ado Ahmad Gidan Dabino's novel Kaico!

Ran muturwar ki 'yar uwa
Sai da na sami damuwa,
Kai har ma da d'imuwa,
Na zama babu natsuwa,
Saboda son ki da k'auna.

26. Ranar na gigice,
Na kid'ime na d'imauce,
Saura k'is na haukace,
Don babu damar zance,
Da ke abar begena.

27. Bak'in cikin rabo da ke,
Ya sanya har kuka nake,
Kar ku zata batu nake,
Ciwon so ya mallake,
Ilahirin k'albina.

28. Cikin fushi da d'imuwa,
Tare da gigicewa,
Ya zam ina kokawa,
Ba damar jurewa,
Yau ba abar begena

29. Wayyo hoho ni ga ni,
Kauna ta kama ni,
Ta kuma gigita ni,
Kullum ina ta tunani,
A kan d'iya mai so na.

--Ado Ahmad Gidan Dabino, from his novel Kaico!

I have rough translations of these, but they are so bad, that I think it is best to leave as is.
