He’s The One
He’s the one sitting next to you,
in the bus you ride everyday to work.He’s the one selling drinks at the junction,
the one you won’t even bother to look at.He’s the one in sky-priced suits,
the man your boss once had lunch with.He could be the one asking to shine your shoes for a coin.
He could be the one driving mercedes in his armani.
He could be anyone you see once in your life.
You look but you don’t really see.By all means: Did you really search?
What do you look for :
Path to God, or just beard, turban, and robes?Neither turbans nor robes,
he doesn’t even have to ‘look right’ for you :
no bride dress up but to her Lover’s liking.
God’s highest nobles are kept unseen in ordinariness.Why tell you who he is,
or when, or where,
we’re not even worth to be told:
what have we done,
to think we deserve such honor?The messenger for your soul.
The one can lead you to the path,
understands every single secret from the life of yours,
answers every single question you need to ask.He’s the slave to one God,
serves only to one master.Slaves won’t come,
no matter how loud you shout:
they can only be met
by permission from the master.By all means: did you really ask?
‘By all means.’
Did you?“And they say: Why does this messenger eat food,
and walk abouts in the markets?
Why is not an angel sent down to him,
to be a warner with him?” *
(Herry Mardian - 2006)

* Q. S. [25] Al-Furqaan : 7, “Dan mereka berkata: ‘Mengapa rasul ini memakan makanan dan berjalan di pasar-pasar (seperti kita) ? Mengapa tidak diturunkan padanya malaikat agar malaikat itu memberikan peringatan bersama-sama dengan dia?’”
setuju sekali mas Herry.
kadang2 ikut malu melihat orang yg promo dirinya sebagai ‘kyai’. yang lihat saja ikut merasa malu…, masih beginilah kualitas sebagian (besar?) orang Islam…

yah, memang demikian mas khairul..
Kalau peternak butuh susu, ia akan mencari sapi yang mau dipelihara..
Sulit memang mencari kejujuran, ketulusan, dan (terutama) kesejatian. Yang ‘gratis-gratis’ sebenarnya memang mahal sekali…

Saya heran dengan org yang menCela Kyai, padahal org
yng mencela kalo nanyaa tentang ilmu agama, Fiqh, Tafsir,
dll, bertanyanya ke Kyai…..yg mencela Kyai kalau ditanyakan
ilmu(pengetahuan) agama belum tentu lebih tahu banyak
dari Kyai, misalnya jika diadu soal pengetahuan agama
spt Muamalah, hukum Waris, Munakahat, Dll…..

He is the one no doubt in jakarta or kuala lumpur
he sing the Mathnawi of Rumi and Abu Madyan song
he send you forward, to teach and scatter wisdom
He stand beside you and go round tawaf at Kaaba
No doubt he generously give sadaqa and received it
by two old ladies at the outskirt of masjidil haram
He who receive your salam and kissed your cheek
He who says- Allahu..Allahu Allahu and Allahu Karim
He is the one you meet in Arafa and Mina
He is the one wave the hands toward the Rawdah
With tears and chilly night he walked back to Andalus
Oh Allah , accept our islam, our hajj and our brothers
He is the one always beside us and gave inspiration ..

Thank you, i. Let’s walk thru this life holding hand… and holding heart. Whoever you are, wherever you are.

sdr herry,
Your voice always carry sweet scents
and we had traversed many paths
may we humbly beg and ask a question
who is your teacher, master and guide
how do you think about abuzuhri teahut
which serve all kind of teas and thorns
my venerable western master of darqawi sent
salam to all fuqara of maulay abdal qadir al-jilani
khawja yusuf hamadhani, nizamuddin chisti
and the great nasqhabandi imams of east
One cup of real Tea is never enough
Left right they came to steal our names
city by city and all ribat zawiya pondok
no longer safe, so my dear embrace the Tiger
and return to the Mountains !
By the west putrajaya lakeside
sunlight pierching thru
cai jian and peace to
morning dews of suluk hospitality !

jangan kau tanya tentang kenistaan dunia
semua hanya omong kosong seolah penuh arti
jangan kau cari kebenaran duniawi
hanya kan membuatmu terjatuh lebih dalam kedasar kebusukan jiwa………….
kenapa tak kau cari jalan jiwamu sendiri
itu lebih baik daripada mencari-cari kesalahan2 itu

biar gelap alam sekeliling,cahaya seminar dijiwa kita.asal wajah tidak berpaling menuju hakikat khaliq pencipta.

Kelap kelip ku sangka api, jikalau api mana puntongnya.
Hilang ghaib ku sangka mati,jikalau mati mana kubornya.
Biar gelap alam sekeliling,asal cahaya di jiwa kita.
Biar khaliq melihat kita,asalkan kita tidak melihatnya!!!!!!!
Kuman seberang laut dapat dilihat.
Gajah depan mata tidak dapat!!!!

Aku telah menerima alamat di dalam mimpiku buat kalian.
Aku sedang duduk di atas sejadahku di dalam kamar yang gelap hanya cahaya di sekelilingku saja,tiba2 didatangi seorang yang berjubah putih menuju dari pihak kananku,berhenti bertanya kepadaku ” buat apa baca itu ” ,Aku menongak seketika kepada wajah orang berjubah itu lalu menjawab, ” dari awal lagi saya membaca kalimah ini akhir saya nanti pun saya baca kalimah La ilaha illah.Rasullullah tidak suruh baca BismillahirRahmannirRahiim di akhir nanti.Syeikh itu pun ngangguk2 dan terus berjalan menuju keluar dari pihak kanan kamarku.Sekian.

sawah membentang, gunung menjulang
kulemparkan diri sejauh mata memandang
tidak kutemukan kedamaian
kulemparkan diri pada wajah ayu di depan
tidak kutemukan kedamaian
lalu kusadar
seharusnya kulepaskan diri dari diri
lalu kulemparkan ke kedalaman nurani
disanalah letak jawaban
dari rasa sakit yang terus menghunjam
oh wahai pembalik hati
betapa sakit kehilangan rasa rindu ini
serasa mayat hidup berjalan hampa
dan hati yang tiba-tiba membatu
betapa sakit tercabutnya rasa rindu
maafkan
ampunkan
dan
rindukan lagi
hati ini
