Dengan kata yang tak sempat diucapkan

Kayu kepada Api yang menjadikannya Abu

Aku mencintaimu dengan Sederhana

Dengan Isyarat yang tak sempat disampaikan

Awan kepada hujan yang menjadikannya tiada

Langit yang melengkungkan dada, biru hitam

Muka tengadah denyut darah bertahan

Ku toreh dadamu al-Amin, jantung baiduri

Kubuka langitku bagimu, mata hujan dan salju

Di tangannya waktu meleleh

Lumat gurun dan Lembah.Berlalu

Gerimis Cahaya melinangi bumi

Lekat dada dan langit baginya. Selalu
