Haiku: Gugurnya Pejuang

HARUM KASTURI

GUGUR DALAM BERJUANG

SEMERBAK BAU.

Translation:

Fragrance of kasturi

The fallen heroes die-hard

Leaves the names alive.

Nasi Lemak & Kopi 'O'

Makan sardin bersama mee,
Tanpa salad dan buah kerdas;
Dengan nutrin seumpama ini,
Lahirkah rakyat Malaysia cergas?

Translation:

Menu of sardine and mee,
Without salad with kerdas*;
Is it nutritiuos food for me,
For Malaysians all of us ?

* a kind of fruit(seed small in size,like tamarine seed ) with strong ordour,good for diabetic remedy.

Iktikaf di masjid

Serati berenang ke kolam Pak Majid,
Sang Pedati ramai lahir juara;
Hati tenang beriktikaf di masjid,
Seperti sungai mengalir ke muara.


Translation:

Ducklings swim in Majid's pool,

Chariots raced seeking for champion;

Peaceful heart seated in breezily cool,

Like a river flows to its entrance.

Wooden Bird

Terbang si burung terbang tinggi,

Tingginya tergantung di atas bumbung;

Perginya hanya melayang sepi,

Kakinya tidak pernah lompat melambung.

Translation:

Fly away my sweet bird,

You'll be flown on the windy day;

Your destiny be unheard,

Your could never step on the hay.

Suara Kebebasan Perang

Suaranya lunak menjelajah dunia,

Membawa pesanan kebebasan hidup;

Umpama juara yang tidak bahagia,

Peperangan menjadikan dunia redup.

Translation:

Her voice been heard thru'out the world,

Her songs of peace and liberty;

Like a desperate warrior's growl,

War made the world pity.

Cendawan di Musim Hujan

Cendawan liar di musim hujan,

Tumbuh melata di bawah pokok;

Hati ditawan mungkin berkawan,

Bila berkata suruhlah dipujuk.

Translation:

Wild mushroom after rainfall,

Freshly bloom under the tree;

My heart yarn for you all,

When spoken let your heart be free.

Where've They Gone ?

WHERE'VE THEY GONE ?


Where've the sky-larks gone... ?
Up away singing into the blues

Where've the flowers gone...?
Blown away by the eastern wind

Where've the soldiers gone...?
To the front of battle-fields

Where've the lovers gone...?
To the field where grave-yards stood

Where've the children gone...?
Nobody cares,where they are.

War !
Floods !
Storms!
Violence!

Singing,
to the silent song
of the night.

God bless the fallen heroes
Al-Fatihah.
Amiiinnn...
