Love

Wa Kullu Hubbin Lighayri Rabbi,
Feehil 'Adhaabu Feehish shaqaa-u

In every love other than for my Lord
there is pain in it, there is misery in it

Tiada Berpaling Setia

Ku genggam semilir malam
Tika rembulan menyinari
Lalu ku menadahkan
Kata cinta nan suci
Dan akan ku hembuskannya
Tika malam syahdu

Kerana dalamnya
Kasih sedalam lautan
Setinggi mentari
Tak mampu digapai
Oleh khayalan insani
Cuma dinaluri

Katakan bara melecur diri
Bisa memercik jalan nan luka
Dengan selasih balut pedih ngeri
Tiada berpaling setia

Adalah sejarah jadi saksi
Bulan bintang menghangat kasih suci
Aku pun terpaut dan bersatu
Dalam bebayang mimpi berseri

Ku layarkan asmara
Di pelabuhan setia
Akan ku rentangkan
Sang pelangi suci
Yang pastinya anggun di hati
Bertamu di kalbu

Labour of Love

I'd labour for Love,
Move mountains in its Name,
All is game.

I'd labour for Love,
While they find it silly,
While they find it hilly.

I'd labour for Love,
Across the dunes,
Lighted by only the moon.

I'd labour for Love,
Even if scoffed,
Through the troughs.

I'd labour for Love,
For there's no other way,
That I can stay.

I'd labour for Love,
Keep it in fashion,
For them to mention.

I'd labour for Love,
In search of Your Face,
That none can replace.

I'd labour for Love,
Through the deep blue,
For its only You that's True.

What Thou Lovest Well Remains, The Rest is Dross!

If one asked me what life is, I'd say its decisions after decisions.
This blog entry for example, was a result of me deciding to write it before doing my Asr prayers.
The question that entails this notion would then be, what made one decides on a thing as oppose to another?
To me, its precedence.

And if one examines closely, most of the junction one encounters is a decision between a Divine calling and oneself,
Again, taking this entry as an example...was a choice between succumbing to my impetuousness to write what I had in mind and the prayer!
It was a choice I made, to which I am answerable for. (Yikes!)

At every juction, its one's precedence that decides for how one decides,
Allah (and what He orders) or my impetuosness?
Allah (and what He orders) or this man I love?
Allah (and what He ordains) or this stack of cash, this car I long for?

In a world where what we want, is only what we want...until its ours,
He enjoins the following prayer:

"Walatakilna ya mawlana fi jami'i harakatina, wasakanatina, ila Ahadin siwak"
"Let not anything but the desire for Your presence besiege my desires, in my wake and in my stillness"

Because verily, what one Lovest well is the only thing that remains, the rest is dross!

Ameen.

Til the End of My Breath!

"Patah sayap bertongkat paruh, patah paruh bertongkat siku, patah siku betongkat dagu....Patah dagu bertongkat kuku"

No Hero in Her Sky...

"...And so it is, just like you said it would be, life goes easy on me...most of the time,
And so it is, the shorter story...no love, no glory, no hero in her sky..."

The rest are lame! Heh!
