Shaolin Ramadhan

[Alec Sutaryo]

Shaolin Ramadhan

Kawan, mintalah pertolongan dengan sabar dan shalat
asyiklah engkau di dalamnya
Dan ingatlah,

Jika orang yang mengaku berilmu saja bisa dikibuli Setan
Bagaimana halnya dengan orang bodoh?
Jangan engkau ikut-ikutan menipu diri sendiri

Jika orang yang mengaku shaleh saja bisa dikibuli Setan
Bagaimana halnya dengan orang jahat?
Jangan engkau ikut-ikutan menzalimi diri sendiri

Jika orang mengaku beriman saja bisa dikibuli Setan
Bagaimana halnya dengan orang kafir?
Jangan engkau ikut-ikutan menganiaya diri sendiri

Inilah puisi terburuk yang pernah kutulis
Inilah syair terbaik yang pernah kuciptakan
Untuk seorang kawan, Shaolin Ramadhan

Kawan, mintalah pertolongan dengan sabar dan shalat
asyiklah engkau di dalamnya.
Dan ingatlah,

Gonjang-ganjing dunia akan menggiring kita
menjauh dari berharap kepada Tuhan

Gonjang-ganjing dunia akan menggiring kita
menjauh dari meminta kepada Tuhan

Gonjang-ganjing dunia akan menggiring kita
menjauh dari bergantung kepada Tuhan

Gonjang-ganjing dunia akan menggiring kita
menjauh dari berlindung kepada Tuhan

Inilah puisi terburuk yang pernah kutulis
Inilah syair terbaik yang pernah kuciptakan
Untuk seorang kawan, Shaolin Ramadhan

Kawan, mintalah pertolongan dengan sabar dan shalat
asyiklah engkau di dalamnya
Dan ingatlah,

Neraka lebih pantas engkau takuti
Ialah api yang membara di bawah samudera

Dunia jelas bukanlah milik kita
Terlalu banyak dusta dan tipu daya

Dunia jelas bukanlah milik kita
Terlalu banyak kezaliman dan penindasan

Maling beraksi di mana-mana
Dari yang bertato sampai yang berdasi

Dunia jelas bukanlah milik kita
Terlalu banyak kepedihan dan kesengsaraan

Hukum bisa diperdagangkan
Dijual, ditawar dan dibayar

Dunia jelas bukanlah milik kita
Dunia yang selalu beruraikan tangis dan air mata

Rimba belantara angkara murka
Tentara Iblis ada di mana-mana

Kawan, mintalah pertolongan dengan sabar dan shalat
asyiklah engkau di dalamnya
Dan ingatlah,

Jika matamu hendak menggiringmu ke neraka
Congkel keduanya.

Jika tanganmu hendak menggiringmu ke neraka
Potong keduanya.

Jika kemaluanmu hendak menggiringmu ke neraka
Kebiri ia.

Setan sangat menginginkan kamu berharap kepadanya
Maka, perbanyaklah istighfar
Karena engkau lemah

Setan sangat menginginkan kamu meminta kepadanya
Maka, perbanyaklah istighfar
Karena engkau mudah bersalah

Setan sangat menginginkan kamu bergantung kepadanya
Maka, perbanyaklah istighfar
Karena engkau mudah berdosa

Setan sangat menginginkan kamu berlindung kepadanya
Maka, perbanyaklah istighfar
Karena engkau sering lengah

Inilah puisi terburuk yang pernah kutulis
Inilah syair terbaik yang pernah kuciptakan
Untuk seorang kawan, Shaolin Ramadhan

Kawan, mintalah pertolongan dengan sabar dan shalat
asyiklah engkau di dalamnya
dan semoga,

Engkau menjadi kuat
Engkau menjadi berkuasa
Engkau menjadi mulia
Di dunia kecilmu itu

Lebih baik engkau kurus
karena hendak berlaku lurus
Daripada kepintaran engkau salah gunakan
Engkau harus beda dari mereka

Lebih baik kau mati kelaparan
Daripada mengemis kepada Setan
Engkau harus beda dari mereka

Karenanya, mintalah tolong kepada Tuhan
Mengemislah kepada-Nya
Lewat ta'awudz dan istighfar

Jadilah engkau kuat
Jadilah engkau berkuasa
Jadilah engkau mulia
Di dunia kecilmu itu

Kapankah pertolongan itu datang?
Setelah engkau selesai dengan urusan dosa-dosamu
Tuhan hendak membersihkanmu terlebih dulu

Inilah puisi terburuk yang pernah kutulis
Inilah syair terbaik yang pernah kuciptakan

Shaolin Ramadhan

My friend, ask His forgiveness with patience and prayer
Dive deep into both of them
And remember,

If a man claiming himself diligent is still fooled by Satan
What will happen to the ignorant?
Don't fool your self like they do

If a man claiming himself righteous is still fooled by Satan
What will happen to the bad?
Don't hurt your self like they do

If a man claiming himself a believer is still fooled by Satan
What will happen to the infidel?
Don't torture your self like they do

This is the worst poem I ever wrote
This is the best poetry I ever created
For a friend, Shaolin Ramadhan

My friend, ask His forgiveness with patience and prayer
Dive deep into both of them
And remember,

Things in this world are dragging us
Away from hoping to the Lord

Things in this world are dragging us
Away from asking the Lord

Things in this world are dragging us
Away from depending upon the Lord

Things in this world are dragging us
Away from seeking refuge from the Lord

This is the worst poem I ever wrote
This is the best poetry I ever created
For a friend, Shaolin Ramadhan

My friend, ask His forgiveness with patience and prayer
Dive deep into both of them
And remember,

Hell is a more thing to be afraid of
Fire burning under the sea

This world is clearly not ours
Too many lies and deception

This world is clearly not ours
Too much evil and depress

Burglars are all around
Some are tattoed, others are collared

This world is clearly not ours
Too much grief and misery

Law becomes tradeable
Sold, bargained and paid

This world is clearly not ours
A world where tears are always shed

Jungle of the evil
Where soldiers of Satan are all around

My friend, ask His forgiveness with patience and prayer
Dive deep into both of them
And remember,

If your eyes would drag you to hell
Pull them both out

If your hands would drag you to hell
Cut them both off

If your pecker would drag you to hell
Turn it off dead

Satans are awaiting untill you hope to them
So ask for His mercy
Since you are weak

Satans are awaiting untill you ask to them
So ask for His mercy
Since you allege wrongdoings easily

Satans are awaiting untill you depend on them
So ask for His mercy
Since you commit sins easily

Satans are awaiting untill you seek refuge to them
So ask for His mercy
Since you don't alert

This is the worst poem I ever wrote
This is the best poetry I ever created
For a friend, Shaolin Ramadhan

My friend, ask His forgiveness with patience and prayer
Dive deep into both of them
And hopefully,

You become strong
You become powerful
You become exalted
In your little world

You'd rather be broke
since you are willing to be straight
Better than abusing your diligence
You should be different from them

You'd rather be starving
Better than begging to Satan
You should be different from them

Hence, ask the Lord His fogiveness
Beg only to Him
through His protection and mercy

Shall you be strong
Shall you be powerful
Shall you be exalted
In your little world

When will the help come?
After you're done dealing with your sins
As the Lord is purifying your soul

This is the worst poem I ever wrote
This is the best poetry I ever created
For a friend, Shaolin Ramadhan
