Lyrics and translation Tan Sri P. Ramlee - Sabar

Sabar

Begini kah derita hai orang yang sabar
Dituduh berdusta walaupun bercakap benar
Nama ku di cemar mana ku pergi
Orang tak gemar
Iman ku takkan bertukar
Dari menipu biar terlantar

Mengapakah dunia
Hai penuh tipu daya
Dosa dan maksiat
Itu lah yang diutama
Si jujur menjadi mangsa
Pandai menipu lekas beharta
Biar lah aku merana

Aku tak rela hidup berdusta

Di mana keadilan
Yang aku harap harap kan
Mengapa kezaliman
Menjadi balasan
Yang lemah di tekan
Yang berharta jadi sanjungan
Pada Mu oh tuhan
Aku serahkan tetapkan iman.

Patience

Is this the suffering of a patient person
Accused of lying even when telling the truth
My name was slandered wherever I went
People don't like it
My faith will not change
Let me be left alone rather than cheat

Why is the world
So full of deceit
Sin and transgression
That's what's most important
The honest become victims
The clever deceivers quickly become rich
Let me suffer

I am not willing to live a lie

Where is the justice
That I had hoped for
Why is tyranny
The reward
The weak are oppressed
The wealthy are flattered
To You, oh God
I surrender and confirm my faith.
