Siapakah orang ini?

bukankah sejak di tadika lagi

kita sudah diasuh, hanya Tuhan ada di atas;

justeru tiada yang menindih kita –

bukankah khutbah di masjid sudah memeri

hanya Tuhan Maha Besar

jsuteru semua insan kerdil belaka –

bukankah Rasul sudah berpesantiada umatku yang lagi jadi hambakerana pesan iman dan syahadah sudah memerdekakan –

bukankah demikian sekian pelajaran?

Inilah bahagian dari sejarah

Ibrahim melawan Namrud, payah

Musa melawan Firaun, susah

Muhammad melawan raja Mekah, lelah

Ali melawan Muawiyah, parah

Husin melawan Yazid, darah.

Translated:

Who is this man?

were we not told since kindergarten

we were nurtured to believe, that no one is above God;

thus no one is above us –

have the sermons not stressed

that only God is Great

thus we are minute –

did our Prophet not remind us

that no follower of his will be a slave

for the promise of iman and shadah will liberate us –

was all this not the lesson?

This is history

Ibrahim fought Nimrod, trouble

Moses fought the Pharoah, struggle

Muhammad  fought the elites of Mecca, hardship

Ali fought Muawiyah, tragedy

Husin faced Yazid, blood.
