Meaning of Friendship

Selasa, Ogos 1, 2006
Puisi ini didedikasikan oleh rakan Liberian sekulliyyah saya, Dr. Abdulai Kaba yang kini bertugas sebagai pensyarah di Universiti Islam Antarabangsa Malaysia. Beliau banyak membantu saya sepanjang pengajian di UIAM 1993-1997, juga menyokong perjuangan saya di sana. Saya dedikasikan semula puisi ini kepada beliau sempena hari sahabat. Saya kekalkan bahasa yang digunakan.

If being a friend means love

then I’ll give it to you.

If being a friend means happiness

then my friendship is true.

If being a friend means you

then I’m always at your side.

If being a friend means jealousy

then I’ll try to avoid the fight.

If being a friend means smile

then I’ll have it all the time.

If being a friend means sharing

then you’ll always be mine.

If being a friend is to talk to

then my ears are listening always.

If being a friend means fun

it’s true what everyone said.

If being a friend is depressing

then I’ll be your sun.

If being a friend means being shy

then I’ll be brave one.

If being a friend means friendship

then I want to be your friend.

If being a friend means loyalty

then I’ll always remain a little.
