Hang takpala Hang pandai

They think I'm that brilliant kid

who needs no hardwork

to score good scores

They think I'm that brilliant kid

who needs no struggle

to get to where I am now

They think I'm that brilliant 

  [Laugh]

Don't they realize

The way they say things

As if they were saying

That a bird needs no flapping wings

to fly up high in the sky

That a fish needs no moving fins

to swim deeper into the sea

That a worm needs no working muscles

to dig through the hard soil

Don't they know

I too have to go through hardships

I too have my own darkest hours

There's one time

I completely blurred out

Nothing in the lectures seems 

to be something that I understood

I ask around

I read through the lecture notes

again and again

again and again too

I end up crying the whole night

disappointed with my own self

for not being able to understand

what others can simply understood

I almost give up

I almost pick up that phone

and say 'mom I can't do this'

But every time my mom asks

'How was thing goin'

.Yeah everything is fine.

.Still adapting.

.But I'm good.

 [hang up]

This lasted for several weeks

WEEKS I tell yah

And I almost believe that I'm an idiot

I feel useless

I feel helpless

I feel hopeless

I taught these feelings were endless

but I was wrong because

It was wrong to say that it will keep on raining once it started raining

What begins will soon ends

and what has ended will soon has 

a new beginning

You just Have To Wait

with sabr

I've waited and

i found the ending to my sorrow

once I turn back to the One and Only,

Allah

the one who can give whatever you want 

and takes away whatever you have

The one who hears you

when no one else care to listen

The one who understands you

more than you understand yourself

the one behinds your sorrow

the reason for your happiness

'Indeed Allah is sufficient for us'

yes Allah alone is enough for me

so I pray for strength

and I get back on track

So they think I'm that brilliant huh?

Indeed I'm no one without Allah

So

Instead of saying to others

'Hang takpala hang pandai'

(Good for you that you're brilliant)

What about saying

'Takpa aku ada Allah'

(Everything's good cause I have Allah)

to yourself
