Mula sa ibayo may huwad na pag-asa,
\n<\/em><\/span>Bulawan a pedtinang sa mga mata

<\/em><\/span>Sa lupa ng Corregidor dumampi ang mga paa
\n<\/em><\/span>Su mga kangudan lu den ba mindal\u2019pa

\n<\/em><\/span>\u201cMana kami bilanggo, ngin i ad\u2019n siya?\u201d<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Isang gabing umawit ang mga bala
\n<\/em><\/span>Bamedtulog silan, p\u2019bpipireng i mga mata
\n<\/em><\/span>Mga hagulgol ng pusong may kaba

Sumiklab na nga ang madugong umaga

English translation by the author<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Silent Cry<\/strong><\/p>\n

From distant shores, a false hope came:<\/span>
\na glint of gold that burned the eyes,<\/span>
\nborne by the sea, lit by sun and star,<\/span>
\nand shown to the Moro youth.<\/span><\/p>\n

Urging them to fight for the land they loved,<\/span>
\nto stand against ruthless colonizers.<\/span>
\nThough wrapped in fear and uncertainty,<\/span>
\nthey swore as one, and answered the plea.<\/span><\/p>\n

On the soil of Corregidor, they landed,<\/span>
\nembraced a stranger shore.<\/span>
\nThe waves were alien, the dangers unknown;<\/span>
\nthey held back their tears for home.<\/span><\/p>\n

Stars set and rose again,<\/span>
\nyet nothing came.<\/span>
\nThey began to wonder:\u00a0\u201dWhat is this?
\nHave we become prisoners, suddenly, haven’t we<\/em>?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Then, one grim night, the bullets sang<\/span>
\ntheir bitter melody to the sleeping ones,<\/span>
\nto the tightly sealed eyes,<\/span>
\nto the silent cries of frightened hearts, <\/span>
\nslaughtered by the cursed ones of Allah.<\/span><\/p>\n

One soul fled through the sea of blood,<\/span>
\nmet the dark shadows that closed in.<\/span>
\nHe crawled, bloodied at the knees,<\/span>
\nand his message brought a pain beyond words.<\/span><\/p>\n

The silent waves cried out at last\u2014<\/span>
\nthe story too cruel, too heavy to hold.<\/span>
\nWounded hearts bled tears of rage:<\/span>
\n\u201dThis is not right! Let us rise and fight!<\/em>\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

A blood-soaked morning broke upon them:<\/span>
\nthey would endure no more.<\/span>
\nThe Bangsamoro rose for their rights:<\/span>
\nmen and women, all who could.<\/span><\/p>\n

And in our minds, it shall never fade:<\/span>
\nthe pain we bore, the things we saw,<\/span>
\nthe wasted lives, the erased names:<\/span>
\na remembrance carved in our hearts,<\/span>
\nthe day of Jabidah.<\/span><\/p>\n
