Tempik lantang bermain api
Dabik dada mengaku Tuan
Namun masih melukut tepi
Tuntut ufti tanpa tersegan?
#885 On Every Book
Every book you read
is a magical portal
to a different Life.
#884 Tentang Kerinduan Pada Bulan
Mesra pungguk menyantun bulan
Seru rindu mengisi alam
Jiwa hamba tiada keruan
Rindu dinda memuncak dendam.
#883 On the Warm Embrace of a Sunday Morning
Blue sky at morning
Greets you with a warm embrace,
Saying "Hello, love".
#882 Tentang Warkah Emel Jeffrey Epstein
Resah hati menatap nama
Tiap huruf mengeja resah
Siapa sangka dosa yang lama
Muncul taba mengundang rebah?
#881 On Writing with Pencil on Paper
Black lead mars the page
Bold lines sketched across paper
Fingers lead a dance.
#880 On Clouds at Night
Clouds curtain the sky
Draping the night with white gauze
The stars hide their light.
#879 Tentang Dakapan Terakhir
Selimutkan aku dalam kedinginan ini
Jiwa lesu ini mendambakan hangat kasih
Sedang engkau masih bermain teka uji
Aku tersudut terpelanting tersisih
Mungkin aku harus membunuh harapan
Bahawa engkau masih akur dalam dakapan.
#878 Tentang Raung Rindu yang Terdiam
Bundar mata menatap dinda
Hati dupdap menahan dendam
Hadir dinda mengubat jiwa
Raung rindu tamat terdiam.
#877 On Learning About Injustice
How old were you when you realised
That the world is unfair?
That some of us get treated better
for having the right skin complexion?
That some of us are worshipped and prayed for
for being born out of the right womb?
That some of us will get scholarships
and others will barely learn how to read
for having the right words on our identity cards?
How angry were you when you realised all this?
How relieved were you when you found out
That injustice was done in your favour?
