Hidup ini cuma sekilau mimpi,
Tidakku impikan,
Mahupun idamkan,
Cuma secebis memori.
Perangkap kejiwaan sayu,
Diketengahan gelora bayu,
Impian berderai layu,
Bagai bintang melesap ngilu.
Air panas segelas isi,
Lantasku ke muka membedai,
Masihkah aku diketengahan mimpi,
Bertenung lohong di pinggiran ilusi.
Di manakah aku harus,
Menburu-telus,
Kebenaran di tengah-tengah,
Siku-liku merumit tegar.
Ia cuma ilusi,
Cukuplah cukuplah,
Penatlah lelahlah,
Sepanjangan igauan pagi.
Di mana,
Di mana-mana,
Celana kelana,
Tengara terala.
Buaian sepuisi,
Dengan iringan merbok mendayu,
Imbauan pagi indah merdu,
Dibelai bayu sepoi.
Raba-raba,
Suka-suka,
Lama-lama,
Hiba-hiba.
Di mana,
Di manakah kuharus,
Mencari,
Memburu realiti.
Payah, Payah,
Resah, kesah,
Lesu, lesah.
Bila,
Bila,
Benar
Tiada ada,
Makna tiada,
Mana bila,
Hidup cuma mada.
Tiadaku idami,
Tidakku kesali,
Cuma impikan sekali,
Hidup ini cuma sekilau mimpi.

This Life
This life is just a dream,
I never wished,
Neither coveted,
It is a mere memory.
The sadness traipsed,
In defiance of gusting storm,
Dreams scatter-dribble,
As stars vanished farewell.
A lukewarm glass of water,
With a splinter splash,
Am I in dream?
Staring void on the edge of illusory.
In where I shall,
Hunt vigour,
The truth in midst,
Of an entangled twist.
It be just an illusion,
Enough, enough,
Wearisome, tiresome,
In the morning delirium.
Where at once?
Everywhere at once,
Traveling wandering,
Pious-reverent.
A pampered poetic,
With a dovee’s croon,
What a soothing humming,
Cuddled gentle by strolling breeze.
Fondling fumbling,
Dazzled bedazzled,
Further farther,
Despair Impair.
Where?
Where shall I,
Search,
Scour for reality.
Agony Agony,
Litany Litany,
Worrisome Worrisome,
Wearisome Wearisome.
When,
& when?
Really,
Do really.
None is,
Meaning neither,
Where When?
Life just vague.
I do not covet,
I do not regret,
Just dreamt once,
This life's just a dream.
