My personal friend, Dr MAZA (the Perlis Mufti) is a man of few words. But once he opens his mouth and do his ceramahs or talks about issues close to his heart, you will know who he really is.
Well, the Mufti is actually an avid fan of the pantun. He sent me one in reply to mine which I will cherish for a long time. His was a sweet and candid one. Never expected he could be so witty. I sent him a pantun commenting on his recent article the "Identity Crisis..." and it read...
AYAM KAMPUNG SI AYAM KATEK
LAUT BIRU SAMPAI KE SIAM
PATAH AYATMU SUNGGUHLAH CANTIK
HATI TERPAUT DI DALAM DIAM
KALAU PUAN KE KAMPUNG PANDAN
JANGAN LUPA KE RUMAH PATIK
KALAU HATI SUDAH BERKENAN
DATANGLAH SINI AMBIK
IKAN KALOI SI IKAN KEKEK
MAKAN BERSAMA BUAH BERANGAN
NIAT HATI MEMANG NAK AMBIK
SAYANG TUAN DI TAMAN LARANGAN
The Mufti has his own blog and writes weekly for Mingguan Malaysia. In between he writes Sajak for his own satisfaction, one of which I will display it here.
Dunia terus beredar
masa terus berputar
di mana hidup akan terdampar?
di mana hayat akan tersandar?
merenung masa depan
dengan berjuta harapan
mengenang masa lalu
sayu, rindu dan pilu hati
naluri insani
mencari erti
yang kekal, abadi
