Gurindam Baris Hadapan

One of my favourite Malay Puisi.. The nice thing about this puisi is that the writer can criticize mans attitude in such short sentences. It sound very polite and well put, but it has a deep meaning..

GURINDAM BARIS HADAPAN


Tidak berbuat walaupun tahu,
diambil pengayuh dibuang perahu.

Tidak tahu tapi berbuat,
kayuh perahu di atas darat.

Banyak bercakap tak baca buku,
macam membawa duit tak laku.

Kurang berfikir rajin membangkang,
bila-bila pun baris belakang.

Jika ilmu dikaji teliti,
di sungai cabaran tersedia titi.

Ilmu dituntut dengan tabah,
yakin diri bertambah-tambah.

Membaca buku karangan tokoh,
bagai berpaut di dahan kukuh.

Kembang ilmu tegap wibawa,
seluruh rakyat tidak kecewa.

Rahman Shaari
