Beneath the equator’s gentle arc, Dar es Salaam awakens,
Sunrise casting shadows on tales untold,
Harbor whispers mix with the pulse of the Indian Ocean.
Streets weave stories, a vibrant mosaic unfolds,
Mango vendors call amid the morning’s heat,
Dhow sails flutter in the breeze, a dance on azure.
Skyline rises, a symphony of progress and tradition,
Kariakoo hums with markets, vibrant hues of commerce,
Bridges connect lands, histories interwoven like fabric.
Selander Bridge, silent witness to journeys and returns,
Silhouettes embrace the dusk, where the day finds its rest,
Nighttime echoes with a city’s dreams, Dar es Salaam, serene and vast.
