Indonesian Independence Day Poem by Ayatullah Nurjati

3.5 centuries and 3.5 years of fighting for independence from the shackles of colonialism that plagued this nation
This nation has been independent right on August 17,1945
The heroes, both from the religious leaders, pure fighters from among the youth and parents
Many are willing to die, shed sweat and blood for the sake of this nation's independence

Even 77 years this nation has declared its independence
Have you ever understood the meaning of independence?
Many things can be done to fill his independence
The stretched life may be commensurate with the successor of independence

Don't pawn the independence of this country for the misguided profit of yourself and your group
The independence that has been achieved, don't bother with the desire of your stomach, my friend
This freedom is not only yours and your group's. The independence of this country is a common property
You, you and I must fill independence with concrete and concrete evidence
