GLEDAJUĆI NAJSTARIJEG SINA
Gledajući JJ
Koji je pozvao oca da žive zajedno
onda kada mu otac ništa imao nije
Suze radosnice su tekle
zato što je moj sin naučio da voli svoju obitelj
kao ja
koja je išla u Ipoh često
Ipak bila sam sa svojim ocem
brinući se o njemu
sjedeći pored njega
čitajući mu Ku"ran
Sve dok nije zaspao
Bože,
hvala ti
na tim divnim trenucima
JJ
me podsjetio da sam bila dobra majka
učeći ga da voli i da suosjeća
sa svojim obitelji
iako s vremena na vrijeme
za njega je bilo nekada
teško iskustvo
da bude moj sin
Hvala ti najstariji sine
u ovim teškim trenucima
dijelim suze radosnice
sa majčinskom ljubavi
koja jest daleko od tebe

WATCHING MY ELDEST SON
Watching JJ
Taking his dad to live with
When his dad has nothing anymore
Tears of joy flowed
Because my son
Learnt
To love his family
Like me
Who went back to Ipoh often
To be with my dad
Bathed him
Cleanse him
Taking ablution
Sitting next to him
Reading Al Rahman verses*
Till he fell asleep
God,
Thank you
For these beautiful moments
JJ reminded me
I had been a good mother
Brought him up
To love and be compassionate
To his family
Though at times
Difficult and painful for him
To be my son
Thank you
My eldest son
In these difficult times
You spilled tears of joy
Your mum
Who is far away
*Verses in Quran.
