Words symbolism

Bismillah.

Will the non-Malay readers excuse me. I just needed to quote these lyrics from a Malay song which is difficult to translate, too poetic it is. When words are used not to convey their obvious literal meanings but used more as a symbolism, it makes your brainwaves work harder to dig deeper for the real meanings. It could really penetrate your deepest imagination and emotions but still in the end, you are left speechless.

Masihkah kita termanggu di bawah pepohon itu

Ketika hujan melunturi danau yang terusang

Tidak pernah dibilang hari

Hanyalah debar yang terasa...rasa

Setiap hari dibuai mimpi yang terindah

Dengan menghitung senja merah di hujung sinar

Mencipta kebeningan rahsia

Pada sehimpun kenangan

Menyimpul satu makna di ruang yang lurus ini

It's amazing how Allah has created so many different languages and embedded a default language in our hearts, each one of us. Hence naturally people would want their soulmates to share the same native language or there would be plenty of emotions lost and chemistry diluted. The default language of the heart is a language of love, though universal in nature, it is unique to the person.

Glory be to Allah who knows us zahir and batin better than we know ourselves.

"He who created all things in the best way and He began the creation of man from clay."
- Qur'an As Sajadah 32:7
