Toni Braxton-Unbreak My Heart

UNBREAK MY HEART Don't leave me in all this pain Don't leave me out in the rain Come back and bring back my smile Come and take these tears away I need your arms to hold me now The nights are so unkind Bring back those nights when I held you beside me Un-break my heart Say you'll love me again Undo this hurt you caused When you walked out the door And walked outta my life Un-cry these tears I cried so many nights Un-break my heart My heart Take back that sad word good-bye Bring back the joy to my life Don't leave me here with these tears Come and kiss this pain away I can't forget the day you left Time is so unkind And life is so cruel without you here beside me Don't leave me in all this pain Don't leave me out in the rain Bring back the nights when I held you beside me Un-break my heart Come back and say you love me Un-break my heart Sweet darlin' Without you I just can't go on Can't go on

Ning Baizura : Dugaanku

i
DUGAANKU

jiwa ku yang suram
Malam yang panjang ini
Aku bersendirian
Merenung kehidupan
Memikir kesudahan
Pada siapakah hendak ku curah keresahanku

Aku berpaut pada sejengkal tali cuma
Itulah yang ada sementara aku
Hidup di dunia ini
Inikah dugaanku inikah kesempatan
Haruskah ku terus atau membiarkan
Ianya berlalu

Dekat di depan mata berat meluah kata
Terpendam segala apa dirasa sekian lama ini
Apakah kita nanti tiada dapat serasi
Ataukah hanya aku bermimpi untuk memiliki

Kesempatan yang datang tiada ketentuan
Mampukah ku memandang di kejauhan
Tak kesampaian
Sering terbayang-bayang tinggi lagi harapan
Entahkan ku sempat ataupun tidak
Untuk bersama mu

Melakar Rindu .

MELAKAR RINDU

Terlalu singkat hubungan ini
Belum pun sempat melakar rindu
Baru semalam mimpi dicipta
Mengapa mendung melanda sukma

Kaulah segalanya madah digubah
Ketika cinta masih di dada
Punahlah jua kini akhirnya

Entah mengapa hati bertanya
Mengapa kasih terlerai kini
Ku tak salahkan dirimu sayang
Lantaran takdir sudah tersurat

Kaulah segalanya madah digubah
Ketika cinta masih di dada
Punahlah jua kini akhirnya

Kaulah segalanya maka digubah
Ketika cinta masih di dada
Punahlah jua kini akhirnya
Punahlah jua kini akhirnya

IN EVER LOVING MEMORY

..
WE ARE RACHEL CORRIE

Rachel Corrie??? I never know you before,
Neither of us ever meet ,
But...your spirit touched me and the rest
We are different, in belief and nation,
But we have mutual feeling, fighting for peace and justice..

I feel shameful to myself,
For not being just like you do,
You were with them sharing their sorrow,
You dared to sacrifice your life,
For my brothers and sisters who live in grief,

My dear unseen sister, Rachel Corrie
Your spirit lives in my heart..
And in others who love peace and justice..
We will continue what you had left..
Near or far..we hope to be the next Rachel Corrie.

Rest In Peace Rachel Corrie....
And Palestine will be free..La Viva Palestine..Ameen

Selamat tinggal Mekah Mukarrahmah..cinta ku terpahat di sini

Saat yang memilukan datang jua..setelah hampir 6 hari di Mekah, tibalah saat ku untuk berangkat.. Aku rasa terlalu hiba, sayu..Se awal pagi lagi aku bergegas ke Masjidil haram sejurus selepas sahur, selepas subuh, aku berada lama di sana kerana aku tahu inilah hari terakhir aku berada di sini. Mengenangkan aku bakal kembali kepangkuan keluarga tercinta, semestinya aku gembira, memikirkan aku akan meninggalkan tanah suci penuh barakah, penuh kedamaian dan rahmat, hati terasa amat sedih. Entah bila bakal datang lagi..setelah selesai berikhtikaf di masjid, aku dengan ayunan kaki yang lemah, menginjak lantai marmar putih untuk tawaf. terasa langkah kaki agak lemah, bukan letih, namun bila hati dibanjiri sendu, jiwa pun longlai.. Tawaf 'wida' ku sempurnakan dengan deraian airmata..laju, seolah bakal meninggalkan kekasih hati..

Usai tawaf 'wida' aku berkesempatan berada di Multazam, berhadapan pintu Kaabah, antara tempat mustajab doa, kesempatan yang ada aku ambil peluang solat sunat dan berdoa. Masa itu aku terasa Allah benar-benar mendengar segala luahan segala doaku...taubatku..perasaanku..harapanku. Syukur, pada pagi itu suasana agak tenang, ada ruang untuk aku berteleku di situ, pengawal pun tidak menghalauku walaupun aku berada lama di situ. aku berharap agar aku dapat datang berkali-kali ke Tanah suci..aku hanyut dalam syahduku..terasa bahawa tiada yang lebih bernilai selain dari berada di sini. Masa untuk pulang telah tiba, aku harus ke Hotel untuk check out..dengan pandangan yang sayu, langkah yang berat aku meninggalkan Kaabah, masjidilharam..bandar Mekah..Ya Allah, hatiku, jiwaku..perasaanku, ku tinggalkan disana..di Madinah dan Mekah..aku mau dia terus berada di sana, agar ingatan dan diri ini terus mempunyai ikatan dengan 2 tempat penuh barakah dan rahmat.. Aku tak ingin mengutipnya, aku mahu ianya terus menjadi penghuni kota suciMU sampai bila-bila. 2 kenangan terindah yang dianugerahkan padaku, yang mana menghubungkan aku dengan kedua Tanah Suci..di Madinah aku mendapat sehelai sejadah, yang mana bila aku jadi teramat rindu, aku cium dan gunakannya dan di Mekah, aku sempat berkenalan dengan anak angkat sahabat yang belajar di sana, Iskandar namanya. Bila rindu, aku akan telefonnya, terasa suara ku bergema disana, dan aku sentiasa meminta dia mendoakan kami sekeluarga disana, terasa namaku dan keluarga disebut di Tanah SuciMU ya ALLAH.. Rindu ini tak pernah putus, tak pernah surut malah makin membuak-buak walaupun sudah 2 tahun masa berlalu. Ingatan segar, kecintaan terhadap tanah barakah makin menebal. Ya Allah, terimalah daku lagi sebagai tetamuMU..Aku sentiasa ingin nerada di bumi barakahMU...panjangkan usiaku, murahkan rezeki dan berlah kesihatan yang baik agar aku dapat menjadi tetamuMU lagi, bersama keluarga kalau KAU izinkan..

Dan aku mula rasakan bahawa yang lain sudah tidak terlalu penting asalkan KAU menyayangi dan mengasihi kami sekeluarga dan mereka yang menyayangi kami..Ya Allah..berkati dan lindungi kami di dunia dan akhirat..dan jadikan kami penghuni JANNAHMU..AMIN..Bumi barakahMU telah mendidkku menjadi sebenar insan..Ya ALLAH, Terimalah daku sebagai insan yang kau redhai..

butterfly lesson

A BUTTERFLY LESSON

One day a small opening appeared on a cocoon;

A man sat and watched for several hours

As it struggled to force its body through the little hole

Then it seemed to stop making any progress,

It appeared as it had gotten as far as it could

And it could not go any further.

So the man decided to help the butterfly;

He took a pair of scissors and opened the cocoon.

The butterfly then emerged easily, but it had a withered body,

It was tiny and shriveled wings

The man continued to watch because he expected that,

At any moments the wings would open, enlarged and expand,

To be able to support the butterfly’s body,

And become firm.

Neither happened!!!

In fact the butterfly spent the rest of its life,

Crawling around with withered body and shriveled wings,

It never was able to fly.

What the man, in his kindness and his goodwill,

Did not understand that the restricting cocoon and the struggle required,

Far the butterfly to get through the tiny opening,

Were God’s ways of forcing fluid from the body of the butterfly into its wings,

So it would be ready for flight once it achieved for freedom from the cocoon.

Sometimes, struggles are exactly what we need in our life.

If God allow us to go through our life without any obstacles,

It would cripple us.

We would not be as strong as we would have been,

Never been able to fly

I asked for Strength, and God gave me difficulties to make me strong.

I asked for Wisdom…

And God gave me problems to solve.

I asked for Prosperity…

And God gave me a Brain and Brawn to work on

I asked for Courage….

And God gave me obstacles to overcome.

I asked for Love…and God gave me Troubled people to help..

And I asked for favors…

And God gave me opportunities…..

“I received nothing I wanted”…

But I received everything I needed……

Live life without fear..confront all the difficulties..and evince that you can overcome them…

beautiful mind

BEAUTIFUL MIND:

When I woke up this morning I asked myself;
What are some of the secrets of success in life?

I found the answer, right there in my very room.

The Fan said - Be cool

The Roof said – Aim high.

The Window said - See the world.

The Clock said - Every minute is
precious.

The Mirror said - Reflect before you act.

The Door said -
Push hard for your goals.

And don't forget, the Carpet said - Kneel down
& pray HARDER…..

BEAUTIFUL MIND:

There is nothing worthy of worship except
Allah, alone without partner, to Him belongs dominion and praise, He
causes life and death and He is the Living and does not die. In His
Hand is all the good and He is over all things competent.

SORRY SEEMS TO BE THE HARDEST WORD(featuring lyrics)

SORRY SEEMS TO BE THE HARDEST WORD

What have I got to do to make you love me
What have I got to do to make you care
What do I do when lightning strikes me
And I wake to find that you're not there

What do I do to make you want me
What have I got to do to be heard
What do I say when it's all over
And sorry seems to be the hardest word

It's sad, so sad
It's a sad, sad situation
And it's getting more and more absurd
It's sad, so sad
Why can't we talk it over
Oh it seems to me
That sorry seems to be the hardest word

What do I do to make you love me
What have I got to do to be heard
What do I do when lightning strikes me
What have I got to do
What have I got to do
When sorry seems to be the hardest word
