ilin atau berlutut sambil merenung jauh ke dalam mata untuk menyatakan rasa yang
terpendam. Segala-galanya akan datang sendiri dan difahami daripada hati luhur
untuk menerima lamaran daripada sang kekasih.
CINTA, MENYINTAI ATAU DICINTAI itu adalah lumrah sifat kejadian manusia. Hak unt
uk bercinta dan menerima bergantung kepada individu itu sendiri. Pilihan adalah
terpulang kepada kita, jika pilihan berlandaskan agama pasti hasilnya diberkati
dan sekiranya berlandaskan nafsu pasti akan terhumban ke lembah kehinaan.
CINTA itu adalah segugus kepercayaan yang abadi. Dan cinta sejati itu bererti me
lepaskan orang yang disayangi terbang bebas ke dunianya. Kalau betul kau milikku
pasti engkau akan kembali menghangatkan cinta kita.
SEKIRANYA kamu dicintai oleh seseorang yang tidak kamu cintai, anggaplah ia satu
penghormatan buat dirimu tetapi kembalikan penghormatan itu dengan cara yang ik
hlas dan jujur.Jangan kamu ambil kesempatan dan janganlah melukakan.
CINTA merupakan suatu perasaan yang agung. Jika cinta tiada lagi, bererti salah
satu nikmat Tuhan telah dicabut dari hati, tandanya salah satu nilai kemanusiaan
dalam diri anda mulai terhakis. Ia memerlukan pengorbanan yang besar sambil ber
modalkan keikhlasan serta kejujuran yang tinggi.
ORANG yang tiada perasaan cinta adalah manusia yang hilang motivasi dalamannya.
Cinta seharusnya melahirkan tindakan yang melambangkan kelembutan, kasih sayang
dan kebijaksanaan terutama dalam membuat keputusan berhubung dengan insan yang a
mat dicintai. Cinta adalah kenderaan menuju kebahagiaan. Cinta murni sentiasa ma
mpu pemandunya, pemiliknya melepasi semua halangan demi kecemerlangan. Cinta bol
eh membuatkan manusia bangun membina kehidupan yang terbaik.
ALANGKAH bodohnya manusia yang menjadikan cinta untuk membina kesusahan di hari
muka. Jika cinta dijelmakan dalam diri, ia begitu memotivasi. Jika diberikan kep
ada seseorang ibarat memberikan segunung emas kepadanya. Tatkala dijelmakan dala
m rumahtangga, jawapannya adalah kerukunan dan kesefahaman yang berpanjangan. Ci
nta yang murni adalah pemangkin untuk kehidupan yang penuh kebahagiaan. Sebagaim
ana ia bermula di hati, cinta seharusnya berkekalan hingga hujung nyawa.
CINTA yang benar-benar tulus dan ikhlas sepatutnya menjadikan pemiliknya bertamb
ah matang, beriman dan berperibadi mulia. Jika yang sebaliknya berlaku, ia menja
di tanda bahawa itu bukan cinta sejati yang anda cari-cari.

Tak Usah
August 25th, 2007

Tak usahlah sebut pasal cinta jika anda tidak sebenar-benarnya mengambil kisah.
Tak usahlah bercakap tentang perasaan, jika ia tidak berada di hati anda. Tak us
ahlah menunjuk ke dada, jika anda berhasrat melukakan hati pasangan anda. Tak us
ahlah sebut cinta abadi jika ada di hati anda untuk berpisah. Tak usahlah memand
ang matanya jika anda berbohong kepadanya. Tak usahlah sebut hello jika kelak an
da mengucapkan selamat tinggal. Tak usahlah katakan dia satu-satunya, jika ada o
rang lain di sisi. Tak usahlah kunci hatinya, jika anda tiada anak kunci untuk m
embukanya kelak.
Dr. HM Tuah Iskandar al-Haj

Madah Cinta Pilihan
July 9th, 2007
Jika ada sepuluh orang yang mengambil berat terhadapmu, maka sudah pasti salah s
eorang daripada mereka adalah aku. Jika hanya seorang saja yang mengambil berat
terhadapmu, maka sudah tentulah orang itu adalah aku. Dan jika tiada sesiapa lag
i yang mahu mengambil berat terhadapmu lagi, maka itu bermakna aku sudah tiada l
agi di dunia ini.
Cinta adalah api. Namun kita tidak akan pernah tahu sama ada api itu akan mengha
ngat atau menghangus hati kita.
Memberikan seluruh cintamu kepada seseorang bukanlah jaminan dia akan membalas c
intamu. Jangan mengharapkan balasan cinta, tunggulah hingga cinta berkembang di
hatinya, tetapi jika tidak, berbahagialah kerana cinta tumbuh di hatimu.
Melafazkan cinta dan janji setia itu mudah. Mengotakan cinta dan janji setia itu
susah. Cinta dan janji setia yang hancur buat insan parah.
Masa depan yang cerah selalu bergantung pada masa lalu yang dilupakan. Kamu tida
k dapat hidup terus dengan baik jika kamu tidak melupakan kegagalan dan sakit ha
ti di masa lalu.
Hanya diperlukan waktu seminit untuk menafsir seseorang, sejam untuk menyukai se
seorang dan sehari untuk mencintai seseorang. Tetapi diperlukan waktu seumur hi
dup untuk melupakan seseorang.
Yang pertama belum tentu yang terbaik, yang terbaik biasanya yang terakhir. Teta
pi yang sukar dilupakan adalah yang pertama, sedangkan yang terakhir masih menja
di tanda-tanya.
Mencintai juga bukanlah bagaimana kamu melupakan dia bila dia berbuat kesalahan,
melainkan bagaimana kamu memaafkan, bukanlah bagaimana kamu mendengarkan, mela
inkan bagaimana kamu mengerti, bukanlah apa yang kamu lihat, melainkan apa yang
kamu rasa, bukanlah bagaimana kamu melepaskan, melainkan bagaimana kamu bertahan
.

Lagi-lagi Cinta
July 7th, 2007
Kesetiaan cinta ada kalanya teruji kerana desakan keadaan dan percaturan hidup.
Sesungguhnya cinta memerlukan pengorbanan yang bukan sedikit sebelum boleh dinik
mati manis madunya cinta.
Cinta boleh runtuhkan bukit dan boleh tegakkan orang yang sudah bongkok.
Malang sungguh orang yang tidak pernah dicintai. Lagi malang kalau orang itu tid
ak pernah mencintai.
Cinta seperti menunggang basikal, sekali kita tahu menunggang kita takkan lupany
a, biarpun sakit setiap kali jatuh namun,kita takkan serik untuk mencuba lagi.
Cinta itu satu duka dan bahagia yang tak terurai, satu penerimaan dan penolakan
yang ganjil ~ A. Samad Said
Sebenarnya plot cerita cinta dalam berbagai-bagai peristiwa tetap sama, hanya pe
lakonnya sahaja yang berbeza.

Ayat-Ayat Cinta
July 2nd, 2007
Cinta itu sebenarnya sangat berharga dan kita perlu mengambil masa yang mencukup
i untuk mengenali seseorang itu sebelum melafazkan kata cinta kepadanya.
Apalah erti cinta jika sekadar lafaz di mulut dan bukan datang dari hati.
Pernahkan anda mencari sesuatu barang yang diperlukan tetapi tidak berjumpa? Seb
aliknya apabila barang itu tidak diperlukan, tanpa anda cari, ia ada pula di dep
an mata. Oleh itu, jangan terburu-buru mencari cinta kerana ada kemungkinan ia
akan datang sendiri kepada kita ketika kita tidak lagi memburunya.
Hidup memang memerlukan cinta, tetapi cinta bukan segala-galanya di dalam kehidu
pan.
Jika kita kecewa bercinta, jangan disalahkan takdir kerana Tuhan lebih mengetahu
i apa yang terbaik untuk kita. Di mata kita mungkin ia satu keburukan, sedangkan
ada banyak hikmah tersembunyi di sebaliknya yang tidak kita sedari.
Tidak salah untuk bersedih dan kecewa apabila putus cinta, namun jangan keterlal
uan hingga berfikir serta bertindak keterlaluan dan bukan-bukan. Banyak lagi keu
tamaan lain di dalam kehidupan ini dan bukan cinta semata-mata.

Cinta: Ayat-Ayat Cinta
June 15th, 2007
Anda tidak sakit sewaktu jatuh cinta kerana anda tidak jatuh.
Cinta mudah dilahirkan melalui perbuatan daripada kata-kata.
Di mana ada cinta, di situlah ada derita, pengorbanan, cemburu dan air mata.
Cinta seperti bunga mawar, harum tetapi dikelilingi duri.
Percintaan seperti permainan badminton, kedua-duanya saling tipu-menipu.
Cinta berakhir dengan rumahtangga tetapi nafsu hanya mampu membina rumah.
Cinta tidak mungkin mengalir daripada hati yang kecewa.
Cinta tidak mengedut atau mengendur. Yang mengedut atau mengendur adalah kulit k
ita.
~ T. Alias Taib

Jika ia sebuah cinta ia tidak mendengar namun sentiasa bergetar.
Jika ia sebuah cinta ia tidak buta namun sentiasa melihat dan merasa.
Jika ia sebuah cinta ia tidak menyeksa namun sentiasa menguji.
Jika ia sebuah cinta ia tidak memaksa namun sentiasa berusaha.
Jika ia sebuah cinta ia tidak cantik namun sentiasa menarik.

na pengorbanan dan kesetiaan.

Madah-madah Cinta
April 29th, 2007
Cinta adalah sesuatu yang indah dan unik anugerah dari Ilahi. Kita diberi pelua
ng untuk menilainya dan pergunakanlah peluang yang diberi dengan sebaik-baiknya
untuk melahirkan satu larian cinta yang indah. Seindah waktu ia diciptakan.
Cinta itu aneh. Sukar untuk ditafsirkan. Datangnya bukan dari paksaan, perginya
pula tanpa kerelaan. Cinta itu penuh mesra dengan kasih sayang. Ianya perlu dibe
lai dengan kelembutan bagi menyerikan lagi keindahannya. Kekasaran boleh mencipt
a sebuah perpisahan.
Manusia kadang kala lupa, cinta adalah syarat berlangsungnya kehidupan perkahwin
an. Malah, tanpa cinta, perkahwinan itu akan mati, ibarat rumah kosong tanpa pen
ghuni.
Mungkin benar tatkala kita kehilangan barulah kita menyedari. Mungkin benar saat
kita terluka barulah kita mengerti. Mungkin benar bila kita rasakan rindu yang
sangat dalam barulah kita tahu seberapa besar makna dan erti seseorang bagi kita
.
Cinta Jika anda memilikinya, anda tidak memerlukan sesuatu pun yang lain. Dan jika
anda tidak memilikinya,apa pun yang lain yang anda miliki tidak banyak bererti.
Jika kita kehilangan cinta, pasti ada alasan di sebaliknya. Alasan yang kadang-k
adang sukar untuk dimengertikan. Namun percayalah bahawa ketika Dia mengambil se
suatu, telah Dia mempersiapkan sesuatu yang lebih baik untuk diberikan.
Cinta antara dua jiwa telah dikatakan boleh membakarkan semangat seseorang itu u
ntuk memeliharakan akhlak yang mulia, memperbaiki pergaulan antara manusia dan m
enjaga adab dan keperibadiaan. Selain daripada itu, ia juga dipercayai dapat men
ghilangkan kekhuatiran dan ketakutan dalam hati, menjernihkan akal dan menyucika
n jiwa kita. Tetapi, cinta juga merupakan ujian, godaan dan cubaan kepada manusi
a kerana ia merupakan pertarungan dan pertimbangan di antara akal dan rasa.
Andai kata cinta itu sebuah pengorbanan,mengapa pengorbanan itu bukan noktah seb
uah cinta? Andai kata derita itu harga sebuah cinta,mengapa cinta itu semakin su
kar utk dimiliki? Cinta umpama kota kristal, indah di penglihatan , derita di pe
rasaan .
Cinta tidak berupa tatapan satu sama lain, tetapi memandang ke luar bersama ke a
rah yang sama.

Mutiara Kata Cinta
April 27th, 2007
Apabila manusia gagal mencintai Tuhannya, maka cinta sejati tidak akan ditemuiny
a.
Anda sebenarnya silap dan terperangkap apabila persahabatan dan semangat setiaka
wan yang terbina bertahun-tahun berakhir dengan ungkapan cinta.
Cinta yang tulus ikhlas lahir daripada sikap, perbuatan dan tindakbalas yang dip
amerkan oleh seseorang, bukannya dari kata-kata bermadah walaupun terlalu indah.
Orang yang terlalu banyak berjanji semasa bercinta adalah orang yang keliru deng
an perasaannya sendiri.
Cinta memerlukan keikhlasan dan kejujuran dan bukannya pengorbanan membuta tuli.
Mereka yang sanggup berkorban demi cinta adalah orang yang tidak pernah memaham
i erti cinta sebenar.
Anda sebenarnya tidak pernah jatuh cinta atau dicintai sekiranya anda mengataka
n sering gagal dalam percintaan.
Kecacatan cinta bukannya terletak atas sebab Cinta Itu Buta tetapi disebabkan mere
ka yang selalu mempermainkan cinta.
Anda adalah insan yang kecewa sebelum waktunya sekiranya anda sering mengucapkan
Aku Cinta Padamu dan Adakah Kau Mencintaiku?
Cinta adalah anugerah Tuhan, mereka yang menerima dan mengalaminya tidak pernah
menyedari bahawa dia telah jatuh cinta kepada seseorang.
