DREAMING THE FREEDOM

AKALA KO WALA NA
Nelson Singson Dino
Nalipad ko na ang mundong ito
Nasisid ko na ang karagatan dito
Nahukay ko na ang lupa
Wala din makita
Kahit isang magandang balita
Katabi ko matulog
Ang aking mga dinaramdam
Wala na ba ang katahimikan
Walang pakialam ang karamihan ng mga tao
Di ko halos maisip
Na wala silang isip
Walang nagiisip
Kahit may pagiisip
Masaya ang may kasama
Di kailangan mag-isa
Ang lahat ay liligaya
Kung tayo’y iisa
Makinig tayong lahat
Sa ating mga konsensya
Alam ko may pag –asa pa
Kung tayo’y sama-sama
Nasa loob lang makuha
Ang sagot na tama

TSUPLUS A
Nelson Singson Dino
Hali na kaibigan
Tayo’y magsayawan
Sa madilim na tugtugan
Hanggang magdamagan
Tsup tsup plus A tsup tsup plus A
Tsup tsup plus A tsup tsup plus A
Tsup tsup plus A tsup tsup plus A
Ang bulong ng hangin
Ating pakinggan
Pagmasdan ang lipad
Ng ibon sa kulongan
Tsup tsup plus A tsup tsup plus A
Tsup tsup plus A tsup tsup plus A
Tsup tsup plus A tsup tsup plus A
Pagsapit ng umaga
Gising parin si Lola
Lubog pa ang araw
Ng kagubatang tanaw
Tsup tsup plus A tsup tsup plus A
Tsup tsup plus A tsup tsup plus A
Tsup tsup plus A tsup tsup plus A
Tama na pahinga muna
Bukas na naman tayo magsaya
Sana nga mauulit pa
Ang indak ng ating ligaya

REFUGEES TOXIC VILLAGE
Aliazer Abdurajim
Are we created to raze?
The living creatures of this planet
The sea, forest, mountain and all that exist
They were created just to serve
While writing this poem
Toxic from factory float like a foam
Sea water polluted with poison
Gradually send human to their tombs
Fishes in the sea water is suffocate
Rubbish of any kinds decided their fates
Product of human irresponsible and carelessness
All living creations suffering to live
(This poem is dedicated to the Suluk refugees in Sandakan living in the place polluted by the poison of factory waste.)
HULA’ KU
Aliazer Abdurajim
Oh Hula’
Hababaan hangin,
Bansag in ngan mu kahapun,
Biyunu’ kaw tahunan,
Piyagtuyuan kaw biyawgbugan,
Daing ha pamissuku' sin manga satru'
Oh Hula’
Tanyag nakapakain na in dayaw mu
Lingkat mu nalawa' na lummi' in timayimbabaw
Natanug kaw ha dunya...
Oh Hula'
Pusaka' kamaasan in nagbayta'
Kaabutan ku pa baha' in dayaw iban lingkat mu?
Ha supaya ku hikasuy suy ha mga lungbu' ba'gu...
SIYANDUNG SIMANDUNG
Aliazer Abdurajim
Tagna' sin awal yadtu
Hamut sin pagjimpulag sarang in dayaw,
Magpagirit sin pais dum sa adlaw
Nagsubangan, sadlupan, timayimbabaw
Nagpipis iban sanjata' way sinilas,
Gulangan in hulaan punud in i'tikad,
Ulangig sin sikatuna di' hikapi'lad
Ha maksud sampurna' magpapapad
Siyandung in kamahaldikaan sin mga sila,
Mawpakkat na magbaugbug magsama-sama
Di' mag-gaus, magpatay hangka agama
Pilak ayaw pahalgaun, makabinasa
Simandung papikilan way naglugay
Kumawa' daraugan di' na maghupay
Magpikilan matingkas daug in abugaw
Pagsakali timubtub ha laum kural
Andu' kailu in nagkasabil,
Nagasag sin dugu way pagkubil
Niyat hula' kawaun dain ha kafil
Bat kaanakan sumannang in pamikil
Kaanakan dimatung iban panali'
Kasusahan in lutu’ iban sin hapdi'
In puddang liyabad way na paghalli'
Humustid na hajja in hapanali'
Tau ha laum hula' kimaruk susa
Lumawag sin dan biya’ sin masa
Nalibut nagpikilan way makara
Sin ka-islam sampurna' ha pamarinta

ANINO NG KARAHASAN
Nelson Singson Dino
Iba’t ibang hugis ng mukha
Mukha ng mga bayaning dukha
Iba’t ibang liwanag ng ilaw
Ilaw sa madilim na araw
Iba’t ibang anyo ng tao
Tao tila’y walang puang sa mundo
Iba’t ibang kahulugan ng buhay
Buhay na walang saysay
Bayani kaya ang tawag sa kanila?
Sa kalagayang barya lang ang kita
Nagaabang sa daan
Di alam kung bibigyan
Piso piso lang po Kuya Ate Sir Mam
Kumakalam na aking tiyan
Sigaw ng kabataan sa lansangan
Dapat ba sila’y tulungan?
Tanongin mo ang iyong sarili
Ikaw ba ay kasali
Sa ibat ibang mukha ng Bayani
Di kaya pulubi?

LANGAN PA KAHANUNGAN
Aliazer Abdurajim
Bangsa Mulliyahun
Bahasa pa saplagun
Agama amu agarun
Ilmu' ha laum tuntutun
In kahanungan sumaplag
Bang lugtu' di' magkibad
Dum adlaw magjimpulag
Suntuan masawa Nabi Muhammad
Kahanungan asal ujud
Puunan ha laum unud
Parayawa kabawgbug
Ha ahirat hikabantug
HOME OF TYRANNY
Nelson Singson Dino
Blood of martyrs dried in the plains
Died in the Valley Mountains
Fighting for independence
Injustices felt when migration arise
In the island of pearls
And in the land of promise
People were put in chaos
When their land grabbed out of laws
Immigrants view as dominant foes
Once an oasis of freedom
Is now a doom of ignorance?
When tyranny became lord of the land
People were driven out of their post
Were given just pinch of hope
To live life in woe forth
Oh the never ending story
Of the endless tyranny
Please leave this home happy!

SUARIMI
Aliazer Abdurajim
Suarimi nakura’
Nagtagna’ ha Manila
Nagbaktul hilu hala’
Bangsa in piyanagawa’
Pagbaktul sin panali’
Masakil hinang saksi’
Similawak magpagapi’
Bat kusug di’ masagpi’
Tagna’ waypa nagbistu
Di’ mag-gaus magtipu
Taayun bang pa-atu
Hula’, bangsa, agama in moto
Panaiban Nakura’
Panagnaan himuka’
Higung-hagas nabuka
Nagmuparik in guwa’
Maas usug matahan
piyakahula’hulaan
Hula’ Arab pagtapukan
Pagkahi iyusibaan
Limugay naguplut
In kiyaawnan nagsulut
Planu piyaragbus
Sah wayruun da pus
In satru’ nagpikilan
Suarimi hiyukutan
Ridaham napsuhan
Taymanghud piyuklasan
Kailu in nakura
Kiyuddam karna’ hula’
Inday bunnal baha’
Bang in siya sawasa’
Nakura’ kaibanan
Harus pangasubuhan
Parhimpunan liyu’dang
Hisiyu in tagbaktulan?
TRAVELERS INFO
Aliazer Abdurajim
A lover wishes
To reach his beloved
Hidden path to its stairway
Verified through Prophets Way
Wrapped with wool
In deserted places
Remembering Thy name
Blessed by Allah’s grace
Be cautious thy steps observed
Thy enemy muddle up in blood
Sluice it with pure repentance
His will to fool shall be gone
Satan and Lucifer is just one
Protracting salik from the light
Trick played well in one’s mind
Till one soul get corrupt
Don’t stop to hope even in vain
Allah’s mercy we can’t predict
Walk while it still fuddled
Cease when sun cast its rays
