Eid Mubarak, Selamat Hari Raya
Two, three cat running
Not the same dog running
Two, three day more raya coming
Everything is ready huh??
Pandan Island far-far in the middle
Daik Mountain has three branches
During Ramadhan everybody struggles
So during Syawal don’t spoil the chances
Jump frog jump
Jump high-high
What knowledge u try
Ketupat rendang very delicious
High-high were the sun
Buffalo kid dead in tied
10 finger hamba susunkan
Fault & mistaken harap dimaafkan
A friend forwarded this to me just before raya. It is in the Malay poetical style of pantun; the first couplet establishes the rhythm and strikes an image, often totally unrelated to the second couplet, which delivers the meaning. It reads almost like a direct translation except for the malay in the last couplet, which would be “Your servant holds ten fingers together/ begging forgiveness of faults and mistakes.”
Asalaamu Alaikum. I hope you and your family are safe and well. Our prayers are with those who have lost their loved ones and possessions.
