ልንገራችኁ፡ ነገር፡ የተሐየኝ፡ ጥቂት።

ዓለም፡ ኀላፊት፡

ትመስል፡ ጽላሎት።

የሐለሙ፡ ሌሊት፡

አይገኝም፡ በጽዋት።

የመስከረም፡ ጽጌያት፡

አይሻገርም፡ ለጥቅምት፡

ይኸ፡ ምሳልያት፡

ለዓለም፡ እኪት፡

ኁለንታዋ፡ መስገርት።

ታሳይሐለቺ፡ ነገር፡ ተሽመት፡

ዓለም፡ ተናጋሪት፡

ወርቅ፡ ተሽልማት፡

ፈረስ፡ ተጠብት፡

በቅሎ፡ ተመረሻት፡

ላም፡ ከበረት፡

በሬ፡ ተወስከም{ት}፡

ከበድ፡ ከጽገት፡

ቀጆ፡ ተወቶት፡

አልጋ፡ ተብዝት።

ሺቱ፡ ተባልቴት፡

ልጅ፡ ተደረት፡

መከር፡ ተሸት፡

አውድማ፡ ተምርት፡

ገበታ፡ ተኀብስት፡

Noble Agame,

My historian friend shared the poem dating it to the 17th century not 12th century. By the way Atse Amde Seyoun 1314-1344 was the first man to write in Amharic. Solomonic Amhara Atses before him would just write in Geez-igna because of the Orthodox Church, the same way Tigrays only wrote in Amharic & Geez for thousands of years until Eritrean EPLF taught them how to write in Tigrinya in the 1970s
