INTRODUCTION

The Malay community is not only rich in terms of art, but also has a singing style that involves various activities in accordance with the conditions and the way the song is delivered. It is common knowledge that the Malay world is rich in diverse poetry scripts. Tuti Adriani (2015) in her article stated that there are five types of poetry, the poetry flags, romantic poetry, metaphor poetry, religious poetry and poetry history.

Poetry is actually an art communications tool that has been around since ages. Islam has produced great poets and among them are Al-Khansa binti Umair, Hassan bin Thabit and Abdullah bin Rawahah. The poetry then reached the Malay world and seeped into the Malay culture through the famous poet Hamzah Fansuri.

Today we are fortunate that there are still contemporary Malay poets who carry this genre to national and international arena, among them is Roslan Madun, who is also known as 'Raja Syair Nusantara'.
