Pasir putih di tanganmu
menaburi rindu di hatiku
yang tertancap di menara suar
pada senja yang samar

Belaianmu begitu lembut
seperti bidadari mencumbu laut
di sore yang berkabut
tanpa pelangi dan matahari

Gerimis membasuh airmata
di pipimu yang landai
hingga air pasang
membalutmu serupa selendang

Menjelang malam
engkau menari gemulai
beriring kompang
zapin yang gamang

Tanpa penonton
dan tepuk tangan

RUPAT BEACH

White sands in your hand
sprinkling the longing in my heart
stuck in the tower of lighthouse
in the twilight dim

Your caress so soft
as fairy flatter in the sea
on a hazy afternoon
without rainbow and sun

Drizzle washed the tears
on your gently sloping cheek
until the tide
wrap you like a shawl

Towards the night
you dance gracefully
followed by Kompang
and the nervous Zapin

Without audience
and applause
