Hati Saya Hati Awak

Banyak lundu perkara lundu,
lundu yang mana dari Sarawak;
Banyak rindu perkara rindu,
rindu yang mana di hati awak?

Biru-Biru

.

Biru dekat sini,
biru dekat sana;
Biru dalam hati,
rindu orang mana?

Baiklah…

Dari garuda baiklah helang,
dari tiada baiklah hilang.

Di Hujung Sana

Enida berpantun di hujung halaman:

Tidak berpangkin lamanku ini,
buluh rimbun rotan berduri;
Tidak berpimpin tanganku ini,
jatuh bangun jalan sendiri.

Tapi

Ada Tapi

Engkaulah kilat memancar
di langit berbintang
bulan mengambang
di hari siang.
Ada, tapi hilang.

Didn’t I Tell You?

Didn’t I Tell You?

Didn’t I tell you?
Do not leave me.
For I am your only friend.
I am the spring of life.

.

Even if you leave in anger
for thousands of years
you will come back to me.
For I am your goal and your end.
.

Didn’t I tell you?
Not to be seduced by this colorful world.
For I am the ultimate painter.
.

Didn’t I tell you?
You are a fish.
Do not go to dry land.
For I am the deep sea.

.

Didn’t I tell you?
Not to fall in the net like birds.
For I am your wings
and the power of light.

.

Didn’t I tell you?
Not to let them change your mind
and turn you to ice.
For I am your fire and warmth.

.

Didn’t I tell you?
They will corrupt you
and make you forget
that I am the spring of all virtues.

.

Didn’t I tell you?
Not to question my actions.
For everything falls into order.
I am the Creator.

.

Didn’t I tell you?
Your heart can guide you home
because it knows that I am your Master.

Kalau Ada

Kalau kata, kotakan.
Kalau soal, jawapkan.
Kalau janji, tunaikan.
Kalau pinjam, pulangkan.
Kalau beri, ikhlaskan.
Kalau hutang, lunaskan.
Kalau pesan, sampaikan.
Kalau rahsia, simpankan.
Kalau salah, maafkan.
Kalau rajuk, pujukkan.
Kalau sayang, tunjukkan.
Kalau terima, kasihkan.
Hidup bukan paparan Facebook.

Kita ada kita.
Kita ada Dia.

Between Us

.

Whenever we speak to each other,
words are like the breeze
between two tall casuarinas
on a shore.

A bare shore.

Eleh!

Eleh!
You tu memang gitu.

.

Kejap nak,
kejap tak nak.
Takut I sentuh,
takut I tak sentuh.
Bila I chakap hello,
you mengeluh.
Bila I chakap bye-bye,
you berserabai.

.

Sudahlah.
I dah malas.
Tak de masa.
Banyak kerja lain.
Banyak mata lain
yang gian nak
ber-tango
dengan mata I.
Banyak lidah lain
yang hauskan
bibir I.

.

Bibir I yang tebal tak tebal,
nipis tak nipis.
Senyum atau chemik,
sentiasa manis.
Bibir yang basah
berginchu merah,
cherah secherah-cherahnya.

.

Bayangkan,
seperti yang you pernah bayangkan.
Bibir I, di bibir you.
Bibir I, di telinga you.
Di leher you.
Di dada you.
Di perut you.
Di pusat you.
Di peha you.
Di sana you
dan di situ you.

.

Bayangkanlah.
Jangan malu-malu.
Bukan I tak tahu.
Memang you pernah bayangkan dulu.

.

Eleh!
You tu memang gitu.
Dah tahu
buat tak tahu.

“The only Melayu poem I’ve ever written.” ~Yasmin Ahmad

.

I never had the chance to thank you for writing this poem. But you knew that someday I would go through exactly what you did, didn’t you? I can almost imagine your smile. I miss you, Kak Min.

Yang Mana

.

Banyak galas perkara galas,
galas yang sana dalam sepasu;
Banyak malas perkara malas,
malas yang mana diam membisu?
