To who observed the compass; do not be angry to the maker of these scratches.
Remember, the misery and the time that made me to scratch and to write here.


Barang siapa yang mengamati kompas ini
Janganlah memarahi yang membuat coretan ini.
Ingatlah bahwa kesengsaraan dan waktulah
yang membuat saya mencoret-coret dan menulis di sini
