Pepohon Mistikal

Biarlah kita menjadi
pepohon nan rendang
Menawarkan teduh
pada yang gersang

Wajah pepohon kian
tersurat
Menghuraikan kerenah
alam tanpa bersyarat
Menawarkan fahaman
dalam lipatan
pengalaman
Dan kehalusan jejaring
akar pepohon mu
Mengundang mukjizat
kebijaksanaan

Maka
Jadilah pepohon jati
membekalkan udara
nyaman menjelang
pagi hari
Agar kau memetik
ilham kerinduan dari
lautan nan Satu

Sedarlah
Kaulah alam sejagat
Dan alam sejagat
adalah kamu
– Nasir Hashim

English translation

This mystical poem explores themes of spiritual growth, ecological harmony and the interconnectedness of all beings through the metaphor of a tree.

Mystical Tree

Let us become
the verdant tree
Offering shade
to the barren land

The tree’s face grows
more evident
Explaining nature’s ways
unconditionally
Offering understanding
within the folds of
experience
And the delicacy of your
tree’s root network
Inviting the miracle
of wisdom

So
Become the authentic tree
providing cool air
as morning approaches
So you may gather
inspiration of longing from
the One ocean

Hasten home
oh wanderer
Growing to know
the self within Self
Proclaim the blessing
of the Almighty’s presence
Guiding you to
the eternal path (mortal)
Able to heal
the restless storm of the soul
in waiting (immortal)

Be aware
You are the universe
And the universe
is you
– Nasir Hashim
