I

Setiap detik hidup mu
ini
Setiap sentuhan jiwa
mu itu
Meresahkan alam
semulajadi
Terpegun sayu
menyaksikan
telatah kalbu mu
Kelibat mu kian sepi
disambar masa
berlalu

Sedarlah
Pengalaman mu itu
kepayahan mu ini
Bukanlah suatu
hukuman atau
dendam kesumat
Bahkan anugerah
pedoman
Mengatur hikmah
teladan di medan
bakti
Mudah memintas
dugaan nan
menanti

II

Bukan semua usaha
itu menjanjikan
kejayaan
Kerana acuan ilmu
asas mu
Mencedok ilham bakti
belum kesampaian
lagi

Kerana niat mu belum
bersatu dengan
perasaan jitu
Di perkarangan lobok
hati

Sesungguhnya
Penyatuan ini
menggetarkan jiwa
dan raga
Pabila ilham teknologi
dalam diri (soft
internal technology)
Menawarkan daya
cipta teknologi luaran
(hard external
technology) yang
membanggakan
ramai

Namun
Mereka yang lelan
mudah terlepas
pandang
Sanggup meremehkan
mukjizat manusiawi
yang dibelai manja
fitrah insani

III

Begitulah
Kita hidup dalam
barzakh duniawi
Dipaksa bersaing
Antara langit
dengan bumi
Antara cahaya
dengan kegelapan
Antara kebenaran
dengan kebathilan

Walhal kedua-duanya
tidak terpisah jauh
Ibarat alunan indah
yang mendendangkan
keserasian lagu
dan irama
Inilah sajian kunci
falsafah hubungan
sesama manusia
Hingga kita benar
mengenali siapa diri
dalam diri
Dan sifat kebalikan
tingkah laku mu
Menonjolkan ketulinan
identiti diri

IV

Justeru itu
Kita diajak bertafakur,
cekalkan diri, dan
mendalami keluhan
insani
Kian tersisih, dihimpit
penindasan, nafsu
keuntungan, riba,
dan pembangunan
yang sudah
disongsangkan

Maka
Rempuhi lah ranjau
berbisa menghambat
perjalanan hidup ini
Rangsangi lah
kesaktian intelek mu
mencerahkan lagi
potensi diri
Kerana sudah lama
dalam kesunyian dan
kerinduan

English translation

Miracle of the Soul … Always Waiting

I

Every second of your life
this
Every touch of your soul
that
Disturbs the natural
world
Stunned and melancholy
witnessing
your heart’s behaviour
Your presence grows quieter
swept by passing
time
Realise
Your experience
your suffering
Is not some
punishment or
vengeful spite
Rather a gift
of guidance
Arranging wisdom’s
example in the field
of service
Easy to bypass
trials that
await

II

Not every effort
promises
success
Because the mould of your
foundational knowledge
Drawing inspiration from service
has not yet reached
its destination
Because your intention has not yet
united with
precise feeling
In the courtyard of your
heart’s depth
Truly
This union
shakes soul
and body
When the inspiration of technology
within (soft
internal technology)
Offers the creative power
of external technology
(hard external
technology) that
makes many
proud
However
Those who are careless
easily lose sight
of things
Willing to belittle
human miracles
tenderly caressed by
human nature

III

Such is
How we live in
earthly barzakh
Forced to compete
Between heaven
and earth
Between light
and darkness
Between truth
and falsehood
Yet both
are not far apart
Like beautiful melodies
that sing out
the harmony of song
and rhythm
This is the key offering
of the philosophy of human
relationships
Until we truly
recognise who we are
within ourselves
And the opposite nature
of your behaviour
Highlights the authenticity
of self-identity

IV

Therefore
We are invited to contemplate,
strengthen ourselves, and
delve into human
laments
Increasingly marginalised, pressed by
oppression, greed for
profit, usury,
and development
that has been
turned upside down
So
Navigate the poisonous
thorns that obstruct
this life’s journey
Stimulate
your intellectual prowess
to further illuminate
your potential
Because for too long
[it has been] in solitude and
longing
