Kejelitaan Bunga Di Fajar Pagi

Kewangian bunga-bungaan,

Menusuk benak,

Mengusik warak,

Di tepian denai,

Di bawah teduh lelangit,

Matahari menyinari senai,

Aku bersiaran kaki,

Perlahan didodoi,

Lelagu tiung.

Angin pagi menyepoi,

Panas lengas,

Membangkit sedar lelan.

Sinaran terik,

Pantulan di balik embun-embun,

Halus kelopak merah-marak,

Bercumbuan orkid ungu;

Dibelai dedaun hijau kuyup,

Mengasyikkan dodoi,

Sepoi-sepoi lelagu alam,

Lengai-lengai hati dalam,

Dikerumun bunga-bunga segar,

Lembut longlai

Lembap sapai,

Panas redap,

Disenangi angin redum,

Fajar segar dipelamun kejelitaan,

Bunga-bunga di ambang pagi.

Flowery Splendours

The scent of blossoms,

Touch the cradle,

Of thoughts, of sanctity,

On edge of paths,

Under a shady sky,

The sun shines sooth,

I stroll,

Sung soft

By a Myna.

The morning breeze breathe,

Hot and moist,

Awaken my languor.

The morning flare,

Glare from the minutiae dews,

On pink fine petals,

Caressing violet orchids;

Coddled in lush moist leaves,

Deeply engrossed,

Brittle breeze nature sings,

Nurtures a putrid heart,

Overwhelmed among buxom blossoms,

Tender delicate

& moisten fabricate,

Feeling warmly mystic,

Among windy mist,

Refreshing morning mesmerized by splendours,

Of the subtle blossoms.

Dinda Yang Perawan

Oh dinda yang perawan,

Kanda memandang matamu berseri rawan,

Tapi renunganmu beku dingin,

Apakah kanda bukan dinda merindu,

Kandakah sendiri yang merindu kelu?

Matamu yang penawan,

Kanda tiada perlu melawan

Bibirmu yang mekar mawar,

Pipimu yang putih mulus,

Keningmu yang halus tulus,

Oh dinda tersayang,

Apakah kanda yang berubah?

My Lovely Beloved

O my lovely little beauty,

I graze the sight of your fairy eyes,

But why the frigid cold eyes,

Am I not the one you dearly miss,

Me alone missing you dearly?

Your eyes so enchanting,

I need not urge,

For your,

Budding red lips,

Coddling fairy cheeks,

And your preen brows,

O my lovely beauty,

Changed have I?

You Are Beautiful

I could see you beautiful

In your eyes,

I do not have

To look for your lips,

Cheeks and brows.

Happy Birthday Brother

I received your message,

“Happy Birthday Brother”

Be happy always.

Then on,

I know I will always

Get your message,

And I vow to wish you always.

But it was the last,

And I could never wish you thereafter.

I kept in my heart these Days:-

February Sixteenth,

March Seventeenth,

& Twenty Eighth,

April Twelfth,

May First,

May Seventeenth,

June Twenty Eighth,

July Twenty Seventh,

August Twenty Fifth,

September Eighteenth,

October Sixth,

October Fifteenth.

But do you keep mine?

I know I will get your message,

I have already received it,

Because on this day I will read again,

Your beautiful message to your brother.

I ask “What I have to do?”

There’s nothing you can do.

I ask “What’s left for me?”

Nothing.

I ask “What should I do if I think of you?”

Don’t.

I ask “What’s the better way to live on”?

No way.

I ask “What should keep me going?”

Nothing.

I ask “When will I see you?”

Never.

Then “What shall I do in April?”

Don’t think.

You shall wait.

You’re on the waiting list.
