LUPA’ SUG
Nelson Singson Dino
Lupa’ Sug in gulalan hula’ sin gagandilan
Nagbunu ha pantayan wayi atu’ pagataykuran
Lupa’ Sug in ngan taga pamarinta Sultan
Daing ha kaawwal sin jaman nagbaugnbug Iman, nagtuman kawajiban
Lupa’ Sug nabantug tau niya maisug
Misan muti’ in bukug ayaw in tikud-tikud
Lupa’ Sug kiyabubuhan sin dugu Bayan-buddiman
Nagpatindug sin Islam daing ha karna sin Tuhan
Lupa’ Sug kalasahan tau niya di pagkarapatan
Daing naman ha pagbunuan sambil pa pangaddatan
Lupa’ Sug dayahan hiynang pangusahan sin Kastila Melikan
Siyunuran sin Jipun sumubli kumawa untung
Lupa’ Sug kakilahan hula’ sin Ilmuan
Bangsa kalulumanan sin hula’ kaibanan
Lupa’ Sug kaibugan pag-aabug-abugan
Sin hula’ ha sadlupan pasal sin kakayaan
Lupa’ Sug mabarakat janji tuhan di’ maukat
Tau niya mamartabbat mawupakkat in niyat
Lupa’ Sug piyapata matakaddam sin mata
Piyusaka pa huling bata bat kahanungan masampulna

DUGU’ PUSAKA’
Aliazer Abdurajim
Dugu’ ku, biya’ da kaniyu
Pula in walna’
Nanugpati kabuhi’ ku
Ha laum hilu’ hala’
Nagsubangan sadlupan bakas tanug
Dugu ku’ dimagan way diyaug
Indaginis manglungkup way nakaraug
Islam in piyamaggut hinang bawgbug
Dugu’ ku Pusaka’
Iyanughara’ sin Tuhan pa bangsa ku
Wiyawalnaan pula, isug nakabidda’
Pangaddatan sasanglitun duun limatta’
Lungbu’ ba’gu bati na kamu
Daing ha kahapungan sin katilibut niyu
Adlaw ini dugu’ ayari,
Kunsum dawhatun in adlaw ba’gu

FRUITS OF WISDOM
Nelson Singson Dino
My eyes, my heart, and my mind unlock
To violate not everything created for life
As I just came from the world of darkness
To bear the feelings of love, understanding and respect
To comprehend the movements of all beings around
I learn the right to understand my personality and myself
My value in life so I have a moral responsibility
I began to deal with life through wisdom and wishes
As wisdom comes prevails general interest from self-interest
Since I associated with clean crowd
I started understanding creations regardless of taste, colors, race, and creed.
My self-confidence, my hope, and my optimism assemble
To face responsibility and hardship
To avoid negligence, to be physically strong
Mentally awake, and morally straight
I was submitted and inspired

VALUE LIFE
Aliazer Abdurajim
Wonder why mouth produces sound
And ear do hears
Where the breath does end?
So do with thought when it flows?
How much this life worth?
Is there any price tag on?
Why don’t we value?
Can’t we afford to pay it?
Look at your fellow humankind
Aren’t they created flawless and unique?
Who in the world could mimic
The versatility of His Art

PALITAAN
Nelson Singson Dino
Kabataan in bawugbugan
Hipag-ilaw sin kahulaan
Hula’ subay di’ tayikuran
Tindugan pa kasawahan
Lawagun in kahanungan
Hula’ mahaldika’
Bang kabataan sampulna
Di’ na majuljana’ in paghula’
Kahanungan sin hula’ lawagun
Pakutkutun ha laum jantung
Bat di’ maawun in susun
Kabataan nahalubilu
Mabaya tumudju pa amu
Hatihun in atay jatu’
Lawaun na in sinu-sinu
Dawhatun in adlaw masambu
Song lyric was written for youth leadership seminar in Jolo, Sulu
MAYTA’ BIHAUN PA?
Aliazer Abdurajim
Lugay ha paglibutan
Awn daman kiyatudjuhan
Pikilan way katitipuhan, bunnal tuud dulan
Sin Mahasutsi Tuhan,
Daing pa sin dunhan, Way hadja natuman
Angan-angan way namutan, magpahantap dakuman
Mayta’ bihaun pa piyapagkila Niya?
Awn da baha’ ini sungan, agad na in katan
Daing ha ginahawa baran, lapay na in kawman..
Sari sulayan, kalu raman awn kamumpaatan
Kari na kamu magsama-sama ha lubid sin agama
Bangsa di’ masiya-siya bang Tuhan in piyauna
Asal hinang suntuan in Nabi ta Junjungan,
Hapagpalindug kawman, subay ginhawa muna lanuan
Qur’an in padduman hinangun palitaan ha laum katigidluman
Ay na magkira pangadji’, pamaham iban panali’
Bangsa parulihun hitanum ha atay puti’
Kari na kamu kaanakan sin Bangsa Sug
Maghambuuk pikilan, dumawhat kasambuhan
Kakaingat mu sandaan ha awn kapusan

MAGNYUNG-NYUNG BANGSA
Aliazer Abdurajim
Pikilan naglulupad-lupad
Labi daing sambulaan bang di' mabihag
Maguplut-uplut bang makailag
Indaginis bahana' hinangun ad
Dupuy-rupuy sin hangin landu' iral
Hantang ha bikad-bikad maghibal-hibal
Di' mag-irup sin hikamula bang maksud mabiyal
Kaadilan dawhatun misan jasad masalay
Magkahig-kahig ha kapantayan
Maguki'-uki' sin kulina kapandayan
Bangsa pasayuhun daing ha kahapungan
Palita' agama amu padduman
Kalummi'-lummian ha laum atay
Kalagihan lanuan bat di' makalapay
Bang atay makadawhat kahanungan kakkal
Mahinang taytayan sin pamarinta marayaw

INNERSELF
Aliazer Abdurajim
Inner self within one soul
Have a trace to track on
As wider as an ocean
The choice to specify is in your own
Inner self within you
Elucidate perfection of life
The monotheist crave for
To see its interior design

TEARS OF BLISS
Aliazer S. Abdurajim
I woke with eyes misty of tears
In a foggy morning of November
Emotions soar as birds to heaven
Vivid fountain of hope await
I stride silently as black ant in the night
Captivated by the aroma of cherubic blossom
Passes by a melodic rhyme
Slithered in a thorny passage of wickedness
Castle in the sky is wrecked
Swam as fishes in filthy water
Marinated in toxic rain
Adam faith tied in Jakkum tree
A day of lost loomed from the west
Kindled the fire in the grave
Divine sign manifested in a mountain
Intensified Moses belief
The sun in the mid-noon shone
Glittering in a thick forest
The soulful realm awaking
Touched by the tears of bliss
MUSSA’ HA LAUM JAMBAN
Aliazer Abdurajim
Bakas ka awn tau nakasakup iban nakita?
Ha si’nag sin mussa’ ha karatagan
Nyimata’ iban timampal ha sawa sin bulan
Kahapun jimatu bukun adlaw yan
Anduhud makusug nagdara ulan
Hangin makusug nakali’pan
Mussa’ kiyatabunan way kiyahatihan
Tuput da ha higung hagas pagkadungugan
Daing ha waktu pa waktu way hugna’
Maglawag way paghali in bukun sampurna’
Laul di’ magparuli bat makakawa’
Daraugun muhutun misan jasad mabinsana’
Mussa’ ha laum jamban iya-ayaran
Pikilan sin Fir-aun in iyupihan
Hangka bangsa najuljana’ hapagtugutan
Sin napsu mulakab piyuputputan
Tag-mussa’ makaluuy daing ha kalawa’
Lapdusan sin tingga’ way paghugna’
Dugmahun dum adlaw sin pagpinjara’
Hantang binatang hina’ in kababa’
Daing ha satru’ pa hangka agama nagtulung-tabang
Mussa’ di’ hipatukbal pa tagkapunyahan
Bilang hula’ tupukun bang kagipitan
Misan dajjal in dumatung umatubang
Pikilan hisiyu in way katitipuhan?
Dumihil ha katampalan sin kasanyangan
Nagpasaula-ula mamawgbug ha ngan sin Tuhan
Kamahaldikaan tumattap ha laum kiyumkuman
Mussa’ hipakita’ di’ na maglugay
Indajinis warna’ in limamugay
Ha palaliyan dunya kalu tumampal
Si’nag sin mussa’ nakauna kalu mabungkal…
