cats

dua tiga kucing berlari
mana nak sama si kucing belang
dua tiga boleh ku cari
mana nak sama kau seorang

Literal translation
two three cats seen running
never the same as the striped cat
two three (person) I could find
never the same as you

Gosh, its interesting to see that after we directly translated these pantuns it sounds like a highly sophisticated haiku.

here's a haiku for you:

two three cats running
striped cat, i will never find
another like you
