SELAMAT HARI RAYA 2025
Its here again. Selamat Hari Raya to everyone.
Here is another poem by Dr Yunus Yassin. I received it at 5:47 am in our small three-person Whats App group. I was awake though not yet up and about. The only other Whatsapp group I do is our small family group. I am not on Twitter or X, FB or any other intrusive media. Anyway its a nice poem.
*Selamat Hari Raya and Eid Mubarak*
No light without humility,
No balance without forgiveness,
No peace without mercy,
No meaning without conviction,
No beauty without patience and perseverance,
No unity without forgiveness,
No happiness without acceptance,
Acceptance that no change is needed in a perfect symmetry,
No birth or death in the universe of eternity,
The world to return to the only singularity,
In the vastness of the seemingly unbounded universe,
Resting on the feet of the throne of thrones,
As we bid farewell to the month of restraint,
We hope to replace the inferior with the superior,
To replace the finite with the infinite,
To replace the profane with the profound,
To replace the selfishness with selflessness,
To replace ‘I want’ with ‘I accept’,
To replace noise with silence,
To replace the designed with the designer,
To replace existence with permanence,
To replace chaos with harmony,
May one day we may replace time with meaning,
For now I wish you Eid Mubarak and Selamat Hari Raya,
Taqaballahu wa minna Wa minkum,
All the best wishes for us to you,
Maaf Zahir and Batin.
Yunus Yassin
I did reply Dr Yunus’ poem. I did a quick voice note poem. I cant post it here. It was a little bit ‘limmericky’ but with more than five lines.
Here is a thought : Make life easy for others around you.
Not possible? Here is another thought : Do not make life difficult for others around you.
