Dia jual surat
khabar lama
dan diapun
belilah magnum
tak kena
Dia jual pakaian
lamanya
beli kuda
tak kena juga.
Dia jual perabot
lamanya
beli toto
pun tak kena juga.
Dia minta tolong
kat kawan-kawan
semuanya tak layan.
Bayi nak susu
Isteri meroyan
Anak besar kat universiti
Anak sedang kat sekolah
Anak kecil kat tadika
Majikan tutup kilang
Dia kena buang.
Api dah kena
potong semalam
esuk lusa airlah pula
nak menanak beras tinggal segenggam.
diTV jiran siaran live
perdana menteri baru angkat sumpah jawatan
tiba-tiba
ketukan di pintu
“Orang welfare nak hulur bantuan!”
agaknya dalam hati.
Di muka pintu
dua anak muda bertali leher,
berseluar jean,
pakai baju belangbelang
menghulurkan buku:
Najib Tun Razak vs Tukang Kacau Malaysia
“Ambillah Pakcik, kami bagi free.”
Esuknya di tepi pagar sekolah,
pakcik Chandran membungkus kacang putihnya
dengan kertas buku yang banyak gambar-gambar
Big Men Waterland.

Introduction
- The Yaslehs
- Since 1968, when his first poem Sebuah Sumpah Derhaka was published in Majalah Mastika, dad has written voraciously, but at the same time is so disorganized that we could hardly keep track of what he has written. It is even worse now that he writes his poems in his phone and sms it to us his children. Believe you me, he spent a lot of money on smsing long poem to us that is sometimes lost to accidental deleting. So we, his three children - Yasleh Rita Ayu, Yasleh Hani Wati, and Yasleh Khaliff Amri - decided that enough is enough, we need to keep some kind of record of his poetry, thus the creation of this blog. This will be a cache to collect all his old poems and a safe to keep all his future ones. In the film world, mentioning my dad's name will immediately brings to mind his 9 awards winning film Dia Ibuku in which he personally won 2 - Best Director and Best Screenplay- but in the literary world the poem ikan-ikan di kaca is synonymous to him, hence the name of this blog.
