10 Examples of Ajip Rosidi's Poems

Puppet
Shadows moved by the puppeteer
come and go, only the traces remain
Remember Me in Your Prayers
Remember me in your prayers: in front of the
My life in this world, in the afterlife, protect
it with grace, bestow it with the grace of God

a blessing, just an abundance of God's blessing

Sun
I penetrated the white mega, the gray one, the black one
Behind it I seek the light: The rays of the sun!
River
From upstream to estuary, how many times did you change your name?
Evening Prayer
Universe
The tears are flowing
sourced from your heart
Life
If you have set life to be small
Why is the voice of the heart tossed about in the sabil?
Distance
How far is the distance
between you and me
How far is the distance
between you and my jugular vein?
Not a word separates us
In front of Sadali's painting
In beauty I find silence and
The Meeting of Two Sufis
When the two passed, not a word of warning
Only two pairs of sharp eyes meet
Suhrawar on horse : " How deep I see
The ocean of all truths!"
And Muhyiddin on a donkey: "How mortal he is who
faithfully follows the example of his Apostle."
When the two meet, there are no words of greeting
But the two of them agreed in silence.
Only In Poetry
In the train
I read poetry: Willy and Mayakowsky
But I hear your words
Overcome the rattling of the depression.
Take a look outside:
Rice fields and mountains
Then the poems grow
From every drop of sweat
The crooked peasants since morning
Through hard and lonely days.
Life oscillates between heaven and earth
Adam was thrown from heaven
Then here and there looking for Eve.
Knocking door after door
And he didn't find it either: Liver yeast
Who doesn't want
Give up on the situation?
From the valley stretch out your trembling hand.
I read poetry: heart turihan
The one with the iron fingers of Time
Determining the steps of Destiny: Sticking
To the dream room I manage
vain.
You know too. In poetry
Everything is clear and certain.

Shadow
Your reflection is recorded on the surface of the plate, on the wall
On the sky, the clouds, ah, wherever I turn:
And on the roof of the house the wind rises rustling
Convey your whisper in a world full of whispers.
Is it still a crisp January morning
Somewhere for my hand to caress?
All the words have run out but are not spoken
Longing in the form of a truth.
Shadow, ah, your shadow that charges always
Have I not given up everything for the sake of Time?
Even the years will be lonely, I know
Because the restless world is silent.
