Doa

Doa

-Chairil Anwar-


Tuhan ku
Dalam termangu
Ku sebut nama Mu
Biar susah sungguh
Mengingat Mu penuh seluruh

Tuhan ku
Cahaya Mu
Panas suci bagai kerdip lilin
Di kelam sunyi

Tuhan ku
Aku hilang bentuk
Kembara di negeri asing
Tuhan ku
Pintu Mu ku ketuk
Aku tak bisa berpaling




A Prayer


Dear God
In desolation
I said your name
So that this pain heals
Though it is hard
Remembering You with all my heart and soul

Dear God
Your light
(is) Warm and aglow like the flicker of a candle
On a quiet balmy night

Dear God
I lost myself
A stranger travelling in this strange land

Dear God
Here I am knocking on Your door
And I can no longer turn my face away (from You)
