Selamat
bernyanyian
pada serindit
di pucuk meranti
Selamat
berlompatan
pada belalang
di rumpun padi
Selamat bermain
pada ikan
di sungai
Selamat berkembang
pada bunga
di taman.
Selamatlah alam
tanpa petaka
Selamatlah kekasih
tanpa nestapa
Selamatlah sahabat
tanpa sengsara
Selamatlah pemimpin
tanpa dusta
Selamatlah negara
tanpa khianat
penanggung
jawabnya.
Selamat
sejahtera
Malaysia tercinta
janganlah
dagang lalu
dipeluk dicumbu,
adik abang
dibiarkan
terdampar di luar
kelambu
takut tertikam
keris belida ke
jejak kaki,
bermusim kelak
padi
tak menjadi
bertahun pulak
ikan takkan
bermain.
Dan kau dan aku
apalah yang kita
cari, selain
semalam kita
yang hilang,
kerana,
esuk entah di
mana bahara
terjanji
menimbang
mimpi
menghitung budi
antara
kerakusan
dendam
berbungkal
dan keramatnya
kemaafan yang
kekal.
Selamat
sejahtera, wak!

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.
