I Do Not Love You Except Because I Love You



I do not love you except because I love you;
I go from loving to not loving you,
From waiting to not waiting for you
My heart moves from cold to fire.

I love you only because it's you the one I love;
I hate you deeply, and hating you
Bend to you, and the measure of my changing love for you
Is that I do not see you but love you blindly.

Maybe January light will consume
My heart with its cruel Ray,
stealing my key to true calm.

In this part of the story I am the one who Dies,
the only one, and I will die of love because I love you,
Because I love you,
Love, in fire and blood


by: Pablo Neruda


Pablo Neruda -- Chilean poet, diplomat, and politician who was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1971. Neruda was perhaps the most important Latin-American poet of the 20th century, and penned some of the most tender, sensuous, melancholy, erotic and passionate love poetry one will ever read

The Munafiq

(HR Buhari)


With this definition in mind.. I guess we all are "a munafiq" at one time or another..lolz.

Izinkan aku ......

Izinkan aku berdoa
bukan agar terhindar dari bahaya
melainkan agar aku tiada takut menghadapinya
Izinkan aku memohon
bukan agar penderitaanku hilang
melainkan agar hatiku teguh menghadapinya
Izinkan aku tidak mencari sekutu dalam perjuangan hidupku
melainkan memperoleh kekuatanku sendiri
Izinkan aku tidak memohon keselamatan dengan ketakutan dan kegelisahan
melainkan memiliki harapan dan
bersabar untuk memenangkan kebebasanku
Berkati aku
sehingga aku tidak menjadi pengecut
dengan merasakan kemurahan-Mu
dalam keberhasilanku semata
Tapi biarkan aku menemukan
genggaman tangan-Mu dalam kegagalanku

(translated from: Rabindranath Tagore)

In one important occassion of my life, beside a beautiful du'a, my (late) father read this piece of Tagore's. Thank you so much, Ayah.

**I'm still looking for the English version lolzz....
