terbuka bunga dalam hatiku
kembang rindang disentuh bibir kesturimu
melayah-layah mengintip restu senyumanmu
dengan mengelopaknya bunga ini, layulah bunga lampau, kekasihku
bunga sunting hatiku, dalam masa mengembara menanda dikau
kekasihku ! inikah bunga sejati yang tiadakan layu!
FLOWER OPENED
there uncloses itself flower within my heart
blooms of shady, touch by your musk lips
knee down peeking into your smile's bless
as these sheate, so whitering away past flower, my beloved one
earclipped flower of heart of mine, in rambling time tokening you
my love! is this true flower unlanguished!
