Come,come,come

This being human is a guest house.
every morning a new arrival.
A joy, a depression, a meaness,
some momentary awareness comes as an unexpected visitor.
Welcome and entertain all!
Even if they’re a crowd of sorrows,
who violently sweep your house empty of its furniture,

still, treat each guest honorably.
He may be clearing you out
for some new delight.
The dark thought, the shame, the malice,
meet them at the door laughing,
and invite them in.
Be grateful for whomever comes,
because each has been sent
as a guide from beyond.

Apo Nak Dikato...?


بِسۡمِ ٱللهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِي

Adakah kamu merasa senang hati?

Bagaimana bisa merasa senang hati jika apa yang diidamkan tiada di sini.

Apakah pula kamu berdukacita?

Bagaimana pula mungkin berduka cita atas bayang-bayang yang tiada maknanya maupun nilai.

"Wahai jiwa yang tenang. Kembalilah kepada Tuhanmu dengan redha lagi diredhai. Masuklah bersama hambaKu ke dalam syurgaKu" (Al-Fajr 27-30)


“YAA AYYATUHA NAFSUL MUTMAINNAH, IRJI’II ILAA RABBIKI RADHIYATAN MARDHIYYAH, FADKHULII FII IBAADII WADKHULII JANNATII”. (Al-Fajr 89:27-30)

“O soul that is at rest satisfied. Return to your Lord well-pleased (with Him), well-pleasing (Him). So, enter among My servants, and enter into my Paradise”.

Become the Sky

Inside this new love... die
your way begins on the other side
become the sky

take an axe to the prison wall
escape

walk out like someones suddenly born into color
do it now

you're covered with thick cloud
slide out the side
die... and be quiet

quietness is the surest sign that you've died
you're old life was a frantic running from silence

the speechless full moon comes out now.
