WanRafar Ishak Poems

The Best Poem Of WanRafar Ishak

Stone

it did not dream
it did not desire
to become a house

it kept still
while being transported
from the hill of its origins

it did not complain
while its body was smashed
to become gravel for the roads

when it blood flowed
it did not cry out in pain

it was too good for human beings

(translated from Malay by Muhammad Haji Salleh}
