Guru Oh Guru – by Usman Awang

Berburu ke padang datar
Dapat rusa belang kaki
Berguru kepala ajar
Ibarat bunga kembang tak jadi

Dialah pemberi paling setia
Tiap akar ilmu miliknya
Pelita dan lampu segala
Untuk manusia sebelum jadi dewasa.

Dialah ibu dialah bapa juga sahabat
Alur kesetiaan mengalirkan nasihat
Pemimpin yang ditauliahkan segala umat
Seribu tahun katanya menjadi hikmat.

Jika hari ini seorang Perdana Menteri berkuasa
Jika hari ini seorang Raja menaiki takhta
Jika hari ini seorang Presiden sebuah negara
Jika hari ini seorang ulama yang mulia
Jika hari ini seorang peguam menang bicara
Jika hari ini seorang penulis terkemuka
Jika hari ini siapa sahaja menjadi dewasa;
Sejarahnya dimulakan oleh seorang guru biasa
Dengan lembut sabarnya mengajar tulis-baca.

Di mana-mana dia berdiri di muka muridnya
Di sebuah sekolah mewah di Ibu Kota
Di bangunan tua sekolah Hulu Terengganu
Dia adalah guru mewakili seribu buku;

Semakin terpencil duduknya di ceruk desa
Semakin bererti tugasnya kepada negara.
Jadilah apa pun pada akhir kehidupanmu, guruku
Budi yang diapungkan di dulangi ilmu
Panggilan keramat “cikgu” kekal terpahat
Menjadi kenangan ke akhir hayat.

Happy Teacher’s Day!

Now that we have almost done with Semester 2-20152016 lectures. I am taking this opportunity to congratulate all students especially Master students who have submitted their Research Study II. You are almost there and you have almost successfully completed one of your lifetime achievement. InsyaAllah.

Hats off to the part time teachers (I know, most of them are women). You have shown your courage. I understand that most of you have family to look for, and at the same time you also struggling with your career. This shows that you are committed as teacher as well as a student. Some of you aged between 40-50 y.o. Considering you are experienced teachers. I am humbled that I gain so much respect as your teacher albeit my young age as your lecturer. Thank you and may we continue to serve our younger generations with all our might. Happy Teacher’s Day to me and you.

 

Teachers, Builders of the Nation
