Tenang Telah Membawa Resah
(buat Uda)

tenang telah membawa resah
resah telah membawa
kau ke mari
kau telah memilih
untuk tidak tinggal diam
setiap yang kau pegang
terasa lama
setiap yang kau jauhi
terasa dekat
waktu pintu tertutup
kau ingin keluar
waktu ruang terbuka
kau ingin duduk
kau duduk untuk berdiri
bungkusan yang kau buka
kau ikat kembali
yang kau pinta kau tolak
yang kau jerat kau lepaskan
setelah patuh kau engkar
setelah menang kau mengalah

tenang telah membawa resah
resah telah membawa
kau ke mari
tapi kamarmu bukan di sini
dan kau merantau lagi

Latiff’s poetry plays with fresh imagery and metaphor, encapsulating precision in expression. He has written seven volumes of poetry, including Sungai Mekong, Kenbara Malam and Pesisir Waktu, as well as several art books. His lyrical and evocative literary poetry earned him the SEA Write Award in 1984 and many national awards. His poems been translated in English, Chinese, German, Italian, Danish and Tamil.

As a painter, Latiff has redefined Malaysian visual arts with series such as “Pago-Pago”, “Mindscape” and “Langkawi”. His artworks have been exhibited worldwide in over 30 solo exhibitions, including in Berlin, New York, London, Osaka, Sydney and Sao Paulo.

Latiff is also a highly accomplished literary translator. He has translated Georg Büchner’s Woyzeck and Goethe’s Faust from German to Malay, and has produced Malay versions of world classics such as the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam, the poetry of Rumi, Lao Zi’s Tao Te Ching, and Noh plays by Yukio Mishima.
