Gemulai lenggangnya
dara sunti meniti permatang
halus anyamannya
tempuan menjalin sarang
syahdu melodinya
seruling batang padi
si anak bujang
aduhai alamku tanahMELAYU.
Jernihnya air bukit
mengairkan sawah
haruan dan puyu bermain buih
unggas berlagu di buaian bayu
putihnya awan di langit biru
dan kitaMELAYU
bulat dek pembetung
adat dikelek, resam dijunjung.
Yang kurik kendi
yang baik budi
tercubit paha di kiri
yang dikanan terasa jua sakitnya
hati gajah sama dilapah
hati kuman sama dicicah
demikianlah kitaMELAYU
menjunjung tamaddun peradaban
satubangsa yang perkasa
memuliakan kesantunan
kemurnian adab kemuliaan hemah,
aduhai!
Dan hari ini
tamaddun akalMELAYU
bersimpuh di berhala:
Kuasa, agamanya.
Kekayaan, imannya.
Permukahan, tiangnya.
Pembohongan, wuduknya.
Pembunuhan, halalnya.
Akan menjadi keratonkah istana?
Allahhuakbar…

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.
