AN T-EILEANACII.
SAIGHDEIREAN GAIDHEALACH ANN AN
AFGHANISTAN.
Air Fonn : — "So deoch-slàinte' Glùddheil ghasda."
Seisd. — Slàn gu 'n till na Gàidheil ghasda,
'Tha thai" sail' air nihears' nam bratach,
Fui-an fàilt 'us slàn, tigh 'n dachaidh
Do na suinn tha 'n Afghan thall.
Thug an Sàmhradh ruinn a chiilaobh,
'S tha 'm Faoghar fann 'fas gann ri chùnntas,
'So 'n tha 'n Geatnhradh air tigh'n dlùtli
Gur mithich siiithadachdainn air rann.
Cia mar chuirinn 'm bull a b' fhearr e,
Na bhi seinn air cliù nan àrmunn,
A gbleidh a' bhuaidh aig Kandahar,
'S a chuir an ruaig air Ahab Khan.
Moire! 'siad mo ghaol na h-àrmuinn,
Sgeadeaicht' anns an eideadh Ghàidhealach,
Cruaidh-ghreimeach le buaidh mar b' àbhaist,
'N dream a dh' àraich tìr nam beann.
Sheas na naimhdean ruibh le diorras,
Bha iad reachrahor, làidir, lìonmhor,
Ach gun taing dhaibh b' eudar striochdadh, —
Ruag sibh iad le roinn nan lann.
