The kaswida “Aliepewa Kapewa” by Ukhty Azmina & Ukhty Sau delivers a powerful message about the inevitability of fate and the divine protection that accompanies those who are blessed. The lyrics begin with the assertion that “mpewa hapokonyeki” (“what is given cannot be taken away”), highlighting the strength of one’s destiny and the assurance that Allah provides.
Ukhty Azmina emphasizes the futility of harboring hatred or jealousy, as shown in the line “hata mkifanya chuki bure mnajisumbua” (“even if you harbor hatred, it’s in vain”). This teaches that negative feelings only lead to distress and do not alter the path laid out by Allah. The singer reassures listeners that divine providence prevails, encapsulated in the phrase “atanilinda mola rahman” (“the Merciful Lord will protect me”).
Moreover, the kaswida reflects on relationships, especially in the context of marriage, acknowledging challenges that may arise from envy: “najua wamekerekwa mwenzao kwa kuolewa” (“I know they are upset because of the marriage”). Ultimately, “Aliepewa Kapewa” encourages resilience, faith, and trust in Allah’s plan, inspiring listeners to focus on their blessings rather than the negativity surrounding them.
