On My Finitude, Brimming with You

My finitude brims with infinite You
The meaning of my daily joys and hurts
When Life can blur the lines of what is true
The Truth of you becalms me and engirts
   Amidst these unremitting, violent days
   Within your heart my heart, enraptured, stays. 

Tentang Ketemuan

Siapa sangka dari sejuta
Insan yang ada di bumi
Kita harus ketemu jua
Dua jiwa, hati terpatri.

Dari awal engkau ragui
Apa erti hidup bersama
Syak wasangka kita lunturi
Yakin hati berjalin cinta

Apa maksud hidup berliku
Sunyi jiwa terpadam kini
Shair hidup memuji kamu
Redup hati damai abadi. 

On Baharis

I barely knew you
And I knew almost nothing of
When and how you were born
Or who your parents were
Or how you got here
Or how you found yourself being
A young bride in a strange land
Surrounded on all sides
By people who did not love you
And did not care that you were barely loved

I barely knew your life
But I know that in the young years
Of my own life
You loved me with the fierce tenderness
Of a lioness, claws and all

Maybe they never loved you
But you had love abundant
Your love, transcendant
For me, for us
