…But it would be a sad loss for its audience if authors do not go beyond the daily grind and ordinary experiences. In this aspect Malay literature is fortunate because often enough it is given wings to fly on the authors’ imagination and fantasy, on the genius of metaphors, into an intensely musical language. Literature often gives shapes and forms to the dreams and desires of a people, (whether conscious or otherwise). There are alternative worlds for them who are not able to stand the monotony or pain of their contemporary reality. – Prof Muhammad Haji Salleh, The Poetics of Malay Literature

Halia itu tanam-tanaman
Ke barat juga akan tumbuhnya
Dunia ini pinjam-pinjaman
Ke akhirat juga akan sungguhnya
Satu tangan bilangan lima
Dua tangan bilangan sepuluh
Nenek tanam biji delima
Mengapa pula peria yang tumbuh
Anak rusa nani
Baru kembang ekor
Apa dosa kami
Lalu tidak tegur
