YA  MUKMIN                    (Invoking The Most Trusted)

                            I soak into the sawah
                         as wave on wave of adzan
                          embrace my ending day
                         in echoes the hilltops close
                          until I am all magnified
                           in that seeping sound.

                    Aku terbenam basah dalam sawah:
                     alunan-alunan adzan membelaiku
                              di senja hariku,
                    dipantulkan puncak-puncak gunung
                   hingga keseluruhanku merasa agung
                   oleh nadanya yang meresapi relung.
