Heap praise in public
And reprimand in private:
Preserve dignity!
#833 Tentang Sari Rindu
Malam bulan rindu bersari
Bagai pungguk hamba mendamba
Separuhnya nyawa kuberi
Demi cinta kasih selama.
#832 On the Radiant Tribune
The People's vote have rung a wake-up knell
A dynasty o'erturned with their consent
And now above the rich men's citadel
So proudly flies the red flag of Dissent
A radiant tribune to avenge the poor
Now Capital must heed the People's roar.
#831 Tentang Naungan Awan
Pada wajah tenangnya pagi
Tercoretlah awanan larat
Segar mesra menyapa kami
Naung agung seluruh tempat.
#830 On Corporate Meetings
Highly paid men stand
Around a table to play
Abstruse language games.
#829 Tentang Lelahan Jiwa
Basah keringat menderu laju
Bergenang pada likuan wajah
Lelahan jiwa membungkam aku
Kaku dan kelu tertunduk pasrah.
#828 On This Bronze Bastet
Eyes, paws raised up high,
A prayer for Benevolence:
Bastet cast in bronze.
#827 Tentang Masa Yang Merawat
Tenang-tenang, hatiku
Jangan digusar apa yang tak mampu kau ubah
Hitunglah hari-hari yang bakal berlalu
Hadapi semuanya dengan damai, tanpa ammarah
Kerana Masa itu bukan lawanmu
Hanya Gembala bagi jiwa-jiwa yang mencari arah
Damai-damai, jiwaku
Masa bakal merawat lukamu.
#826 On Watering the Forest
Thin beads of Sweat fall
Unto the parched forest floor
Trees cry out for Rain.
#825 On Sunlight and My Aching Heart
Sunlight peers through leaves;
The glow of Life suffuses
Through my aching Heart.
