Malam ini
Gunung Ledang rebah dibenam
embun duka
lalu puterinya bagaikan
tertawa berkata,
“Pun aku cuma
separuh cantiknya dia
malam ini aku mengadukan nestapamu
padaku.
Dan aku akan ke mana mengulit
sengasara”
Duhai intanku tersayang
kalau benarlah kau sayang padaku
berilah aku secangkir racun
untukku minum.

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.
