Dia bukan jodohku
♥ DIA BUKAN JODOHKU ♥
Ya Allah,
andai cinta itu milik kami,
biar apa jua dugaannya,
kami mohon agar diberi kekuatan dariMu,
untuk mengharunginya.
Ya Allah,
andai cinta itu bukan lagi milik kami,
biar seberapa kali kami cuba pertahankan,
kami mohon agar diberi kekuatan dariMu,
untuk menerima segala takdirMu yang indah ini...
____________________________________________
Andai suatu detik,
apabila Allah menjauhkan dan memisahkan kamu,
dari insan yang kamu terlalu cintai,
maka ucapkanlah,
"Allah Maha Mengetahui, DIA BUKAN JODOHKU"
terimalah dengan hati yang tenang dan terbuka,
redhalah dengan ketentuan takdir dariNya,
kerana milik Allah jualah segala cinta yang ada di dunia...
