Poem by Imam Syafii (Puisi dari Imam Syafii)

Clever and civilized men will not stay home
Leave your homeland and explore foreign fields
Go out! You shall find replacement for those you have left
Give your all, the sweetness of life will be tasted
after the struggle

I have seen that standing water stagnates
if it flows, it is pure, if does not, it will become murky
if the lion doesn't leave his den, he will not eat

if the sun stands still in orbit
Man will tire of it

Gold dust is merely soil before excavated
Aloewood is just ordinary wood if in forest
