Dir (clan)
The Dir (Somali: Dir, Arabic: در), Dhar, or Theyr bin Abdalla as mentioned in the book Futuh ul-Habasha, is a Somali clan. Its members mostly live in northwestern, central and southern Somalia and Djibouti, in addition to the Somali Region of Ethiopia and the North Eastern Province in Kenya.
The main sub-clans of the Dir are the Issa of Djibouti and Ethiopia, as well as the Gadabuursi, Akisho (Akishe), Biamal (Biyomaal), Surre and Gurgura. Although often recognized as a Dir sub-clan, the Isaaq clan claims paternal descent from one Shaykh Ishaq ibn Ahmad al-Hashimi (Sheikh Isaaq).
History
I.M. Lewis maintains that "strictly speaking… the Dir… together with the Hawiye are linked as 'Irir [Samaale]' at a higher level of genealogical grouping.". Together with the Hawiye they trace ancestry through Irir Samaale to Arabian origins with Aqiil Abu Talib ibn Abd al-Muttalib.
Dir is reputed to be the uncle of Esa Madoba, the patriarch of the Issa Dir sub-clan, as well as the brother of Hawiya Irrir, who founded the Hawiye clan. In addition, Dir is regarded as the father-in-law of Darod, the progenitor of the Darod clan. Other accounts indicate that Dir is the father of Esa Madoba.

Una Puerta Al Corazon
by: BamilLlegastes a mi vida
Abristes una puerta
Y entrastes a mi corazón, suavemente;
Cubristes mis ansias
De sensaciones alma adentro
Que nunca se han de borrar
Insaciables, sinceras, sin dudas
En mi mente y en mi corazón.
Chorus
Una puerta al corazón
Abristes en mi alma
Te rendistes a mis brazos
Me pedistes que te amára
Con razón y sin medidas;
Una puerta al coarazón
Para encender la llama
Con la enterna sinfonía
Pasion, fuerza y deseo
Y vivir una vida nueva.
Llenastes de emociones
Mi pasión y mis temores
Juntamos nuestros cuerpos,
Humedecidos;
Rodamos entre telas
De sensaciones alma adentro
Que nunca se han de borrar
Insaciables, sinceras, sin dudas
En mi mente y en mi corazón.
