In the Original : Malay

Kelompok debu ditiup angin,
Bagai ribut mencemari suasana,
Kata kesat hati mendingin,
Berbudi bahasa insan sempurna.

In English

A ball of dust blown by the wind,
Like the storm, polluting its surroundings,
Harsh words harden the heart,
Whilst graceful ones complete the soul.
