nature – The Days of Ziad Hafiz Razak

#880 On Clouds at Night

Clouds curtain the sky
Draping the night with white gauze
The stars hide their light.

Damai hati di taman hijau
Cerah biru langit angkasa
Tiada sedih tiadalah risau
Serah pada Tuhan yang Esa.

Pada wajah tenangnya pagi
Tercoretlah awanan larat
Segar mesra menyapa kami
Naung agung seluruh tempat.

Thin beads of Sweat fall
Unto the parched forest floor
Trees cry out for Rain.

Cahya suria mengintai riang
Kicau unggas menyapa mesra
Berat hati menjadi senang
Kelat hati terpujuk jua.

Fajar datang dengan senyuman
Cahya suria melambai mesra
Cerah hati melebur rawan
Sambut dunia dengan ceria.

Behind those green hills
The sun is drowned by clouds;
Sunset calls her home.

Ribbons in the sky
Vermillion streaks against grey
An astral promise.

White clouds like blankets
You can barely see the hills
Wrapped up like mummies.

Under steel blue clouds
A single ray of light shines:
The lake is cool, cold.
