Imam Syafi'i-poetry-syair

Leave the days, let it do what it wants
Make yourself feel comfort when then the destiny comes
Do not complain for what happened in nights
For there is nothing endless in this world
And be a man who brave in the time of misery
And be tolerance and keeping promises is your characters
Though there are many lacking you have in the eyes of people
Be generous to them
