The poem describes the holy night of Vesak when Buddha attained enlightenment under the Bodhi tree. [1] It discusses how Buddha sat in meditation and contemplation, gaining perfect knowledge and understanding to overcome ignorance. [2] He discovered the Middle Way and Noble Eightfold Path to achieve the end of suffering. [3] The full moon of Vesak month brought peace as Buddha meditated deeply, appearing to teach the path to end the pain of existence.

Sedang mawas diri sampai Samma Samadhi

Inner and outer be peace and impregnable
Nampak pada Sangha Samana Magga untuk mengakhiri
Appear on the Sangha the Samana Magga to end

Berkah nan termulya Waisaka Purna Chandra

Gotama the Buddha was born, the three universe are happy
