Puisi - Cerita-Cerita Tembok


CERITA-CERITA TEMBOK



1989-Stirling

Sewaktu duduk-duduk di Perpustakaan Mac Roberts

Pasha menerima panggilan dari Prague

Masih ku ingat kata Vaclav

‘Cepat datang ke sini kita akan ke Berlin
Seumur hidup mu kau tak kan menyesal

Melihat cinta merobohkan tembok kebencian

Kemanusiaan telah mengalahkan kereta kebal dan peluru berpandu!



2013- Kampala

Mira Nair bercakap dari sukma nya seperti biasa

‘Terima kasih atas jemputan dan penghormatan

Tapi maaf aku tak akan ke Haifa

Selagi tembok hodoh itu masih tegak berdiri’



Lalu ku bisikkan kepada mu

Bagaimana aku bisa melawat mu di hospital nanti?

kerna ada ayat pendek di passport ku

melarang aku ke negeri mu?



Sewaktu menonton kelip video di Al Jazerra

Si pengantin baru Najwa menangis terisak-isak

waktu meninggalkan Ramallah

Kerna mengikut suaminya Tariq ke Tebing Barat

sebak ku dalam diam

Mengingat Najwa tidak boleh

balik ke kampungnya sampai bila-bila



semalaman aku tak melelapkan mata

memikirkan pahit-manis cinta Najwa dan Tariq

yang semakin dekat dengan ku rupanya!




ENGLISH


THE STORIES OF WALLS



1989 – Stirling

Sitting around with talks in hushed voices

In Mac Robert Library

Pasha received call from Prague

I could still remember Vaclav’s words

‘Come here quickly

We will go to Berlin

For the rest of your life

You will never regret it

Watching love demolishing wall of hatred

Humanity had defeated tanks and missiles!’



2013 – Kampala

Mira Nair spoke from her heart as usual

‘Thank you for the invitation and the honour

But sorry I wont go to Haifa

As long as that ugly wall stands’

Then I whispered to you

How am I going to visit you in hospital?

Because there is a little sentence in my passport

That says I cant go to your country?



Sometimes ago

Watching video clip on Al-Jazerra

Najwa the beautiful young bride

Was sobbing uncontrollably

Leaving Ramallah

As she was following Tariq her husband To West Bank

my silent tears celebrated their marriage

thinking about Najwa who cant go back to her village forever



The whole night I couldn’t sleep

remembering Najwa and Tariq’s sweet- sad love union

becoming close to me.
