Lintang-lintang abyor in tawang
Cumlorot sliweran nalika alihan
Kumleyang mencok ing socamu asihku
Cahyane gumebyar sunare gilar-gilar
Ing telenge atimu sliramu tansah dakantu
Lintang-lintang alihan
Cumlorot telu ana pundhakku
Kawitan lintang abang lintang perang
Kapindho lintang mirunggan lintang kamanungsan
Pungkasan lintang kumukus lintang kudurakan

The Stars
The stars rush in the sky
Shimmer pacing when they fly
Flying settle in my dear's eyes
Brighten light 'til sight hides
In the depths of the heart, you always try
The stars moved forward
The three shimmered at my shoulder yard
The first star the red war star
The second the unusual humanity star
The last the shooting wicked star
The explication:
Ardhi has explored this Javanese poetry from Krumpuls.Org. And finally this is a very beautiful challenge since the translation from Javanese into English, he could make rhymes without exchanging the meaning itself. Poetry in Javanese is called "Geguritan" and so do "Lintang-Lintang". This poetry describes the mortal illusions with "stars". Every human being are common to have three types of mortal illusions in their life which relate to anger, humanity solidarity and also evil side to control others combined together.
