Anak by Kahlil Gibran

Children
Kahlil Gibran

Your children are not your children
They are the sons and daughters of life’s longing for itself
They come through you but not from you
And though they are with you, yet they belong not to you

You may give them your love, but not your thoughts
For they have their own thoughts
You may house their bodies, but not their souls
For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow
Which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams

You may strive to be like them
but seek not to make them like you
for life goes not backward
nor tarries with yesterday

You are the bows from which your children
as living arrows are sent forth
The Archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite
and He bends you with His might
that His arrows may go swift and far
Let your bending in the Archer’s hand be for gladness
For even as He loves the arrow that flies
so He loves also the bow that is stable



Anak-Anak
Kahlil Gibran

Anakmu bukanlah anakmu
Mereka adalah anak-anak kehidupan
yang mendambakan kehidupannya sendiri
Mereka datang melaluimu tapi tidak darimu
Dan meskipun bersamamu namun mereka bukanlah milikmu

Kamu bisa memberi kasih sayangmu, tapi tidak pendapatmu
Sebab mereka memiliki pendapat sendiri
Kamu bisa memberi rumah bagi raga mereka, tapi tidak bagi jiwa mereka
karena jiwa mereka ada di masa depan
Yang tidak bisa engkau capai, sekalipun dalam mimpi

Kamu boleh berusaha mengikuti dunia mereka
tapi jangan harap mereka bisa mengikuti duniamu
karena hidup ini tidaklah mundur kebelakang dan tidak pula terhenti

Kamu adalah busur bagi anak panah kehidupan
dan anak-anakmu meluncur seperti anak panah
Sang Pemanah membidik sasaran yang sangat jauh
lalu Dia melenturkan busur itu dengan kekuatan-Nya
agar anak panah bisa melesat cepat mencapai sasaran
meninggalkan busur yang tetap berada di genggaman
Sang Pemanah bangga kepada anak panah yang meluncur itu
begitu juga kepada busur yang tetap pada kodratnya
