Datuk Sharifah Aini Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tlah kuterima suratmu nan lalu
Penuh sanjungan kata merayu
Syair dan pantun tersusun indah sayang
Bagaikan madah fatwa pujangga

Kan kusimpan suratmu nan itu
Bak pusaka yang sangat bermutu
Walau kita tak lagi bersua sayang
Cukup sudah tandamu setia

Tapi sayang sayang sayang
Seribu kali sayang
Ke manakah risalahku
Kau alamatkan

Terimalah jawapanku ini
Hanyalah doa restu ilahi
Moga lah bang takkan putus asa sayang
Pasti kelak kita kan berjumpa

Tapi sayang sayang sayang
Seribu kali sayang
Ke manakah risalahku
Kau alamatkan

Terimalah jawapanku ini
Hanyalah doa restu ilahi




Moga lah bang takkan putus asa sayang
Pasti kelak kita kan berjumpa

Overall Meaning

The song "Fatwa Pujangga" by Datuk Sharifah Aini is a touching and emotional ballad about love and separation. The first verse begins with the singer receiving a letter full of flattery and pleas, written in beautiful poetry and verses that resemble the wise words of a philosopher. She cherishes this letter like a valuable heirloom, though she knows that she will never see the sender again. In the second verse, the singer declares her undying love for the person who sent the letter, pleading with them to accept her response, which is nothing more than a prayer for divine blessings. The final verse ends on a hopeful note, with the singer expressing her belief that they will meet again someday, no matter the distance or difficulties faced.


The song's theme explores the power of love and its ability to transcend time and space. The use of metaphors such as comparing the letter to a precious heirloom highlights the depth of love between two individuals, despite the fact that they can no longer be together. The lyrics also reflect the main character's sense of longing and attachment to the past, which is evident in the line "cukup sudah tandamu setia” (your fidelity is enough). It conveys the sense that the singer’s love is eternal and that their feelings will remain the same no matter what else happens.
