The stanzas above were taken from the book Wakokin Hausa (written poetry) and the candidates were required to identify the song from which the stanzas were culled, the theme of the song and the meaning of the underlined words. Thus: an ciro wacfannan baitoci ne daga Wakar Hana Zalunci ta Malam Salihu Kwantagora. Jigon wakar kuwa, shi ne, gargacfi/facfakarwalwa'azi a kan illan zalunci.
Kalmomin: Babbaka - Horo da wuta
