وَإِذْ قُلْنَا لِلْمَلَائِكَةِ اسْجُدُوا لِآدَمَ فَسَجَدُوا إِلَّا إِبْلِيسَ أَبَىٰ وَاسْتَكْبَرَ وَكَانَ مِنَ الْكَافِرِينَ
(Al-Baqara : 34)
Rub Your Eye Well
O body that has become the spirit's dwelling place,
enough is enough:
O body that has become the spirit's dwelling place,
enough is enough:
how long can the Sea abide in a water-skin?
O you who are a thousand Gabriels in the form of a human being,
O you who are many messiahs inside Jesus's donkey,
O you who are a thousand Ka`bahs concealed in a house of prayer,
O you who cause `ifrît and devil to fall into error,
you are the spaceless Object of worship in space,
you destroy the devils' business,
for they say,
"How should I pay homage to this clay?
How should I bestow on a mere form a title signifying obedience?"
How should I bestow on a mere form a title signifying obedience?"
This human being is not form: rub your eye well,
so that you may behold in him
the radiance of the light of God's glory!
so that you may behold in him
the radiance of the light of God's glory!
Mathnawi VI: 4583-4588

SALAM DUNIA - M. NASIR
Suara tangis yang kau dengar
Memecah hari kudus ini
Adalah aku
Mengenang pemilikmu
Kita pohon kemenangan
Meroboh kota keakuan
Ini saatnya
Yang kunanti-nanti
Mereka yang dilanda derita
Redhalah harimu kan tiba
Cahaya kekasih yang benar
Menghapus segala api kemarahan
Meroboh kota keakuan
Ini saatnya
Yang kunanti-nanti
Mereka yang dilanda derita
Redhalah harimu kan tiba
Cahaya kekasih yang benar
Menghapus segala api kemarahan
Salam dunia
Salam semua
Salam Hari Raya
Salam semua

Inilah hari kita
Tiada lagi rasa ketakutan
Tiada lagi rasa ketakutan
Inilah hari kita
