Pepohon Mistikal/Mystical Tree

[ENGLISH VERSION BELOW]

Biarlah kita menjadi pepohon nan rendang Menawarkan teduh pada yang gersang

Wajah pepohon kian tersurat Menghuraikan kerenah alam tanpa bersyarat Menawarkan fahaman dalam lipatan pengalaman Dan kehalusan jejaring akar pepohon mu Mengundang mukjizat kebijaksanaan

Maka Jadilah pepohon jati membekalkan udara nyaman menjelang pagi hari Agar kau memetik ilham kerinduan dari lautan nan Satu

Sedarlah Kaulah alam sejagat Dan alam sejagat adalah kamu – Nasir Hashim

English translation

This mystical poem explores themes of spiritual growth, ecological harmony and the interconnectedness of all beings through the metaphor of a tree.

Let us become the verdant tree Offering shade to the barren land

The tree’s face grows more evident Explaining nature’s ways unconditionally Offering understanding within the folds of experience And the delicacy of your tree’s root network Inviting the miracle of wisdom

So Become the authentic tree providing cool air as morning approaches So you may gather inspiration of longing from the One ocean

Hasten home oh wanderer Growing to know the self within Self Proclaim the blessing of the Almighty’s presence Guiding you to the eternal path (mortal) Able to heal the restless storm of the soul in waiting (immortal)

Be aware You are the universe And the universe is you – Nasir Hashim
