a poem

11:54 am khaleel el-wafy

Ramadhan is heading to an end and this is the best part of it. I’m supposed to be thrilled with excitement as the race is on but …

I don’t like to finish it negatively … and I pray that everyone will have enough energy and spirit to enjoy every last bit of Ramadhan to gain what you wish from it. Life’s too short to be sighing about things too little especially when you’re blessed with something too big like Ramadan, right?! Here’s a poem (in Malay though), written few months back for me, myself and everyone to ponder upon. Oh ALlah, don’t leave me to myself, I shall go astray. Oh ALlah, don’t leave me to myself, I shall fade away …

:: Nota buat muharrik ::

Yang tuntas mengguyur
bebunga hati
adalah air hangat
dari kolam mata nan redup.
Meladeni tribulasi,
jalannya ribu-ribu duri
meranjau, sesekali mencacat ritma muharrik.

Dunia kepingin emansipasi.
Tuntutan atas nama hak,
jagoan sentimen alami?
Yang merimbun jiwa ummah
adalah keliru, jahil
dan nafsu yang lengeng dari
hijab taqwa mempamer ‘aib
hurungan rengit-rengit ajaib.

Ajaib!
Sebusuk-busuk baunya
tak terhidu rongga nan capik.
Santai,
tak ada yang mengadu meski dilingkung jelek.
Hanya ada jerit muharrik terlandai
yang ingin bingkas lepas dan lari,
kembali menjunjung titah rabbani.

Usah gusar hai muharrik!
Jalan saja penuh ‘izzah memulau polemik.
Rengit-rengit ajaib itu
tidurkan di celah dua tanganmu.
