Keluhan Pejuang Hakiki/The True Fighter's Lament

[ENGLISH TRANSLATION BELOW]

Ketika kemurungan menggelap siang Lintasan cahaya tuntut mencelah Lalu menembusi tirai langit tinggi Menawarkan gugusan mutiara pelangi Demi memperkasakan wawasan warga bumi Kian dihimpit kemarau rezeki dan ketandusan hargadiri

Keramat duniawi tidak mengizinkan gelagat jelek seperti ini Hinggakan insan dihina ngeri dalam acuan pembangunan yang memandulkan kemanusiaan

Namun begitu Pejuang hakiki tidak berpatah arah dan tidak mudah disanggah

Begitulah jiwa pahlawan jati Mampu mencorak tsunami insani Menangkis durjana mempertuhankan materi

Tidak serik … tidak pula membisu Acap diheret ke kubu batu Dipasung tirai besi bak dihiris pisau berduri Menghitung hari tidak bermakna lagi

Namun Suara keadilan dan kesaksamaan Berkumandang di pelosok hulu dan solok bumi Begitu tabahnya sang wira sakti Sanggup meniti jalanan sesepi sunyi Ingin merangsang budaya kehidupan yang memuliakan kesedaran hakiki Patah tumbuh tetap berganti

Semoga anak cucu mengerti mengapa kami harus begini

English translation

When melancholy darkens the day Streaks of light demand to pierce through Then penetrate the curtain of the high sky Offering clusters of rainbow pearls To empower the vision of earth’s people Increasingly pressed by drought of sustenance and barrenness of self-worth

Sacred worldly powers do not permit such ugly behaviour Until humans are terrifyingly scorned within development frameworks that sterilise humanity

Nevertheless The true fighter does not lose direction and is not easily refuted

Such is the soul of the authentic hero Capable of creating a human tsunami Deflecting the wicked who deify material things

Not deterred… not silenced either Often dragged to stone fortresses Shackled by iron curtains like being sliced by thorned blades Counting days becomes meaningless again

However The voice of justice and equality Echoes in remote upstream areas and earth’s valleys

So steadfast is the sacred warrior Able to tread paths of utter solitude Wanting to stimulate a culture of life that honours true consciousness

What breaks and grows keeps replacing

May our children and grandchildren understand why we must be this way
