NGAYON NG KAHAPON
Nelson Singson Dino
Ang mga panahon dumaan
Sa islang silangan
Patungo sa kaunlaran
Mamamayan
Wala na sa kahirapan
Buhay ang kultura
Ang tradisyon yumaman na
Ang lahat naging masaya
Nagkakaisa para sa isa
Ang mga panahon lumipas
Sa mataas na antas
Ng isang magandang pangarap
Paghihirap ay wakas
Hindi na makikita pa bukas
Ang mga panahon na dahas
Naging maaliwalas
Sa pagsilang
Ng makinang na liwanag
Bilang lunas
Sa kahirapang dinanas
Ang isang butas
Na tsinelas
Naging botas na balat
Na hindi kumukupas
Sa araw ng pagagnas
Tulad ng mabubuting
Kultura’t tradisyon
Hindi nawawala sa panahon
Kahit ito ay luma
At patay na ang matatanda
Nasasalin parin sa mga bata
Na may isip at diwa

MORNING BENCH
Aliazer Abdurajim
Sitting by the morning bench
Northern sky bedecked with clouds
Sun rays added to its beauty
Clearly shimmer in the tree’s leaves
Its only here where I use to see
The longest road of tomorrow
I do hope the sky would still blue
As I depart in this lonely world

KANDUNGAN NG BAYAN
Nelson Singson Dino
Bagong anyo ng mundo
Sa kandungan naming mga kabataan
Dito naisilang ang matamis na karanasan
Isinilang ng aming karunungan
Nandito na kami upang saksihan
Ang mga kaunlaran ng aming bayan
Upang makamtam ang kapayapaan
Sa bayan ang ulam minsa’y karahasan
Pakinggan ang aming sigaw
Pagmasdan ang aming galaw
Tulungan ang lupang Mindanaw
Upang di mapako ang lupang pinangako
Ang bayang Sulu kasama dito
Sumabay sa indak ng aming diwa
Kinabukasan nama’y aming punla
Pasikhayin ang mahal naming bansa
Dakilang MINSUPALA itaas ang kanyang bandila

HOPES FOR NEW ONE
Aliazer S. Abdurajim
Anarchy began from flagitious master’s heart
Procreates centuries of rancor in the south
Imperialist scions alternate to corrupt
As deluge annihilated society of Noah
War obviously coined to disturb peace
The island of pearls is now battlefield
Home of the brave make as doyen’s wealth
Opiates everywhere to decide offspring fates
Revolutionist outcry disparage
Political drama salvage duce leaders
Principle of state wrapped with fib
Masses plight seems alive but dead
All these nightmares keep remind
Vibrating in the bosom of unblunted minds
Yesterday slackness serves as remnant
Tomorrow greatness will be in hand
WHAT WE HAVE
Aliazer S. Abdurajim
Listen ‘tis entreaty
Expression of never ending misery
Thy knew who they maybe
Thy help shout to let ‘em free
Centuries past thy bless had felt
Thy Kingdom will didn’t violate
Primitive skills knot with strong faith
Three hundred years didn’t defeat
Wind of holocaust from north landed
Brought undying hope to subjugate
As David and Goliath in the battlefield
Interlopers bowed to Sulus courage
The clever whitemen didn’t stop
A land of expensive pearl collapsed
Truth veiled by foes treatises
Resources of hidden empire illegally amass
AGIUT GUMI SUG
Aliazer Abdurajim
Gumi Sug landu’ lingkat
Kaiibugan sin katan
Kastila Jipun iban Melikan
Katan sila bakas dimawhat
Hi ig daing kaniya in kamahaldikaan
Bihaun limpa sin manga dayu rakuman
Piyaragbus sin Filipino amun miyagad
Ha bautan sin Kurustiyan
Lupa’ Sug nahilu hala’ sila in palsababan
Maksud Islam pungun ha pangatayan
Bat Tausug mahulug pakaliruan
Daypara masi pa pagkatumtuman
In manga liyabayan sin kamaasan
Dugu’ nyawa nila way piyasaran
Piyagbubu sin Lupa’ Sug
Piyamawgbug ha ka Islam
Sila na yadtu in wajib tumtumun
Way nag irup dunya
Mangman in Gumi Sug tumattap
Biya’ sin katan,
Gumi Sug asal mahaldika’
Misan in luun niya hilu hala’
