Bila tak kunyatakan keindahan-Mu dalam kata, Kusimpan kasih-Mu dalam dada. Bila kucium harum mawar tanpa cinta-Mu,Segera saja bagai duri bakarlah aku. Meskipun aku diam tenang bagai ikan, Tapi aku gelisah pula bagai ombak dalam lautan Kau yang telah menutup rapat bibirku, Tariklah misaiku ke dekat-Mu. Apakah maksud-Mu? Mana kutahu? jadikan aku peneroka jiwa yang alpha.

No Time To Pray
I just want to share this beautiful poem by Fatma Muslima I found on the web. It is thought provoking and should be a good reflection for us.
“Pray”
I knelt to pray but not for long,
I had too much to do.
I had to hurry and get to work
For bills would soon be due.
So I knelt and said a hurried prayer,
And jumped up off my knees.
My Muslim duty was now done
My soul could rest at ease.
All day long I had no time
To spread a word of cheer.
No time to speak of Allah to friends,
They’d laugh at me I’d fear.
No time, no time, too much to do,
That was my constant cry,
No time to give to souls in need
But at last the time, the time to die.
I went before the Lord,
I came, I stood with downcast eyes.
For in his hands God held a book;
It was the book of life.
God looked into his book and said
Your name I cannot find.
I once was going to write it down…
But never found the time.
