Am I Late

Am i late..
Then i can't feel this feeling?

Am i late..
To really understand what i want, are you?

Am i late..
Till i must regret for the rest of my life..?

Am i late..
Because u already forget me..?

Am i late..
U know, i can't control my feeling now..

Am i late..
Should i give up like u do..

Am i late..

Am i too late..

To tell that i love u..

Love this feeling

Till now it can't become a memory..
Nor i want it to..
Untill this dream about us being together..
Have come to an end..

Though our encounter is depressing..
But if someday i suddenly remember it..
It's fine..

Regretting our love that began from the end..
Now, just let me understand..
Even if it's only a dream..

It's alright, if i can't reach for you..
Or i even get there together with you..
Seeking mutually in our love..
Right now, i just want to love the feeling..

Even till now, i still can't get hurt..
My heart can't keep up..
And live on with you..

It's alright even if it's a whim..
Just lie and say that u love me..
Right now, just want to dream..
The dream that will never come true..
In my life..

Death

O SOUL lessen up!

For soon, they will come to reality.

Death will rescue you when your time has come,

So prepare, like a host in hospitality!

Empty handed you came and empty handed you will go,

Then why do you run after the world in brutality?

Time yourself to give more and take less,

For in God’s court, worldly assets will become a liability

Admire the worldly rich and get fooled by illusion,

Admire the spiritually rich to rise in spirituality!

Change yourself before the world changes you,

Learn and ponder, for blind following is stupidity.

Discover yourself, the innocent child in you,

Submit to the Divine Creator, the absolute praise-worthy

One nation you were meant to be, a blessing over humanity,

Now divided into groups, fighting over ethnicity

Intoxicated with wealth, blind with pride,

Little do you talk about humbleness and charity?

Running a rat race, you’ll never be satisfied,

So identify the extremes and redefine normality.

Where Are You Now?

أنا لا أتذكر أنني عندما طلب علاقتنا أن تبدأ ،

لكن أتذكر مشاعر ما قدمتموه لي كلما كنت من حولك. شعرت كما لو كنت في مكان حيث لن أحصل على الأذى وهذا هو بالضبط ما فعلت.

لم يسبق لي أن أدرك آلام الحب حتى الآن. وأتطلع في كل مكان أرى اسمك أو رمزا الصغيرة التي يذكرني بك ،

وأجد نفسي الغضب لأنه يذكر لي فقط من الألم الذي لا أستطيع أن أكون معكم. أتمنى أن نتمكن من العودة إلى تلك الأيام عندما كان لي ولكم.

أريد أن أثبت لك كم كنت تعني بالنسبة لي. جعل لكم توقف قلبي ، حتى الآن بعد سنة كلما أحد يذكر اسمك أو أرى وجهك.

أود فقط الأشياء في الحياة كانت أكثر بساطة بحيث يمكن أن يكون لي معك. سوف أحبك إلى الأبد.

الحب دائما

The Walled Garden of Truth.

Don't speak of your suffering -- He is speaking.
Don't look for Him everywhere -- He's looking for you.

An ant's foot touches a leaf, He senses it;
A pebble shifts in a streambed, He knows it.

If there's a worm hidden deep in a rock,
He'll know its body, tinier than an atom,

The sound of its praise, its secret ecstasy --
All this He knows by divine knowing.

He has given the tiniest worm its food;
He has opened to you the Way of the Holy Ones.

Sanai



~~

'The Puzzle'

Someone who keeps aloof from suffering
is not a lover. I choose your love
above all else. As for wealth
if that comes, or goes, so be it.
Wealth and love inhabit separate worlds.

But as long as you live here inside me,
I cannot say that I am suffering.

Sanai, translation by Coleman Barks - 'Persian Poems'

~~

'The Way of the Holy Ones'

Don't speak of your suffering -- He is speaking.
Don't look for Him everywhere -- He's looking for you.

An ant's foot touches a leaf, He senses it;
A pebble shifts in a streambed, He knows it.

If there's a worm hidden deep in a rock,
He'll know its body, tinier than an atom,

The sound of its praise, its secret ecstasy --
All this He knows by divine knowing.

He has given the tiniest worm its food;
He has opened to you the Way of the Holy Ones.

Sanai, translation by Andrew Harvey and Eryk Hanut - 'Perfume of the Desert'

~~

Those unable to grieve,
or to speak of their love,
or to be grateful, those
who can't remember God
as the source of everything,

might be described as a vacant wind,
or a cold anvil, or a group
of frightened old people.

Say the Name. Moisten your tongue
with praise, and be the spring ground,
waking. Let your mouth be given
its gold-yellow stamen like the wild rose's.

As you fill with wisdom,
and your heart with love,
there's no more thirst.

There's only unselfed patience
waiting on the doorsill, a silence
which doesn't listen to advice
from people passing in the street.


Sanai - "Persian Poems" - Coleman Barks

Tentang Seseorang

Aku ingin bercerita tentang seseorang..
Yang begitu luar biasa..
Ku rasa..
Ia seorang yang langka..
Terlihat mendekati sempurna..

Ia mampu menciptakan badai dalam hati hanya dengan beberapa kata..
Sangat bermakna..
Mengena..

Ia sanggup mengusir duka..
Dalam gelap menyalakan pelita..
Jiwa yang hancur berantakan menjadi tertata..
Hanya dengan melihatnya tertawa..

Entahlah..
Mungkin bukan untukku dia tercipta..
Namun aku bersumpah ia adalah seorang yang luar biasa..
Sungguh bahagia dapat mengenalnya..
Sungguh bersyukur dapat berbicara dengannya..
Sungguh suatu anugerah, dapat membagi hati dengannya..

Untuknya..
Aku tak memaksa Tuhan untuk dapat menjadi miliknya..
Aku tak akan mengotori rasa ini dengan airmata..
Aku tak bisa memastikan selamanya kebersamaan kita..

Tetapi..
Kuharap suatu saat nanti, kita kan bercengkerama di surga..
Dalam abadi dan bahagia..

puisi perpisahan seorang pendidik

Sepercik tetes rindu



Anak-anak kami yang kami cintai sepenuh hati….!


Memang kita tiada kuasa untuk menolak kenyataan

bahwa ada perjumpaan dan ada perpisahan..

Memang kita harus berusaha menerima dengan lapang dada bahwa ini semua

hanya dendang cinta Allah Ta'ala dalam mendidik hamba-hambaNya.

Namun juga tidak kita pungkiri


adanya selaksa rasa bergemuruh dalam hati


anak-anak kami yang kami sayangi…!

Masih terbayang dalam pelupuk mata batin kami

Awal pertama nanda semua hadir di sekolah ini

Dan hari-haripun mengukir cinta kita bersama

Dalam pentas dunia tarbiyah Allah Maha Cinta

Suka duka bersama adalah irama romantika

Bukan sekedar dialektika hampa

Tapi untaian mutiara hikmah-hikmah mulia


Jika terbaca dalam lembaran sejarah kita

Ada coretan pena dari tumpahan tinta

Semoga maaf kita menghiasinya

Menjadi lukisan indah penuh makna

Jika ada sesuatu yang mungkin nanda anggap kami khilaf

Yaah..dengan tulus kami mohon maaf

( dimaafkan aapa tidak , nak ?)

Tapi, yakinilah..tiada niat kami untuk membuat luka

Tersandung kaki dalam perjuangan anggaplah biasa

Adalah latihan dalam kita berusaha menuju samudra cintaNya

Dan ..tanpa sebelum nanda minta

Pintu maaf telah menganga untuk nanda


Anak-anak kami yang kami kasihi…

Sebenarnya ujian belum selesai

Perjalanan hidupmu masih banyak yang harus digapai

Doa kami menyertai

Kemanapun nanda pergi


Jika perjuangan kami mendidik kalian

Adalah nanda anggap berharga

Mala dari kami disini yang semakin dimakan usia hanya satu pinta

Cinta

Semoga cinta itu nanda buktikan

Dengan sepotong doa

Walau muncul dari sepercik irama rindumu

Kelak jika ruang waktu telah menganga antara kita
