Sonnet to a Pilgrim Soul in Bahasa Sug & Bahasa Melayu
SONET LANGAN PA NYAWA MAGTUTULAK-TULAK (Bahasa Sug or Sulu Language Translation by Neldy Jolo)
Bang in suga sumarul bulawanun in langit sin mahinaat
Iban in kalaum sin tigidlum mulliya in kasibug
O dunguga in tingug ha taas hangin dimagmit
Di’ mu na masaggaw pa in takul magbalik
Bang hilaran na sin mahinaat in namulawan pikpikniya mabidjak
Iban in langit dilam malaum wayi kawl
Kitaa yan duun iban hinang sin manga mata in kahalan
Amun mahang mu pagkakitaan ha katug mu hiputagainup
Di baha kaw makananam kasusahan magtutulakku kalasahan
Bang dunya in magtali sin kahalan pagpatibaba mu
Mabut da in masa bang in manga mata nila lumamun na
Iban mahulug da sila mabiya’ sin sukud ta
In baran wayi luun mahalu’ mahinang bagunbun
Bang in manga adlaw ta ha suga mari pa waktu nakauna

SONETA KEPADA JIWA PENGEMBARA (Bahasa Melayu or Malay Language Translation by Neldy Jolo)
Bila matahari menyepuh langit di pagi hari
Dan kegelapan yang dalam membuat unduran mulia
O dengarlah suara di udara sepintas lalu
Tidak lagi engkau boleh menawan rentaknya kembali
Bila pagi hari menghamparkan mesra sayap keemasannya
Dan nilam di langit yang dalam tanpa kata
Lihat nun disana dan jamu dengan matamu keadaan itu
Yang engkau jarang nampak di dalam tidurmu yang penuh lamunan
Tidakka engaku merasa pilu pengembara tersayang
Kalau dunia akan memikirkan keadaan kerendahan hatimu
Akan tibanya masa bila mata mereka menjadi kabur
Dan mereka juga akan jatuh sama seperti nasib kita
Cangkarang kosong reput menjadi debu
Bila hari kita di matahari datang kepada masa silam

Neldy Jolo (Nelson S. Dino) is a Tausug native of Sulu Archipelago (Island Country of Southeast Asia). He is active in writing poems for his peace artivism into different languages (Bisaya, Filipino, English, Malay and Sulu). He writes a contemporary style of Tarasul (Sulu Poem) writing. He is an artivist (artist – activist) that is fun of making his pieces for peace, inter-ethnic and inter-faith dialogue advocacy and justice. He hopes that the messages of his works would spread out as a virus of just peace and justice on earth.

"The publication of Malagilion: Sonnets tan Villanelles by Santiago B. Villafania should be a source of rejoicing for readers of regional literatures. This second book by Pangasinan's leading poet today is impressive in both form and substance. Villafania has created 300 sonnets and 50 villanelles in his own language that attempt to reflect the primacy of native culture and return the poet to the central stage of social life." – A Boost to Pangasinan Literaturefrom Breaking Signs by Cirilo F. Bautista (Philippine Panorama, 16 Dec. 2007, pp.25-26)
"Sa kanyang pangalawang aklat na Malagilion, nangahas na naman siya (Villafania) na gumimbal sa pamamagitan ng kanyang Sonnets tan Villanelles upang ilibing sa limot ang aking pag-usisa't pag-urirat kung paano na ang panitikang Pangasinan." – Victor Emmanuel Carmelo Nadera, Jr., Tagapangulo, Unyon ng mga Manunulat sa Pilipinas
"Villafania is not only a visionary poet, he is a linguistic philosopher who codifies the origin of language and culture, dissects the myths and the common beliefs of the people against the urban legends, juxtaposes the literary tradition against the modern influences by dialectically infusing them in his poetic revelation of truth." – Poetic Revelation in Language and Culture by Danny C. Sillada (Manila Bulletin, 12 May 2008, pp. F1-F2)
"Sumusunod si Sonny Villafania sa landas na hinawan ng mga manunulat sa Pangasinan na nauna sa kanya. Sa kanyang paglalakbay, hinahawan din niya ang bagong mga landas na maaaring sundin ng susunod na mga manunulat sa wikang Pangasinan. Subalit hindi lamang para sa mga taga-Pangasinan ang kasalukuyang akda. Ito rin ay panawagan sa mga manunulat sa ibang mga wika sa Pilipinas upang patuloy na pagyamanin ang kanilang panitikan at pagsulat. Kung walang mga lokal na panitikan ay hindi magiging posible ang tunay na panitikang pambansa." – Dr. Ricardo Ma. Nolasco, Tagapangulo, Komisyon sa Wikang Filipino (KWF).

"Santiago Villafania's Balikas ed Caboloan certainly has reinvigorated the anlong tradition of Pangasinan that for a long period of time suffered silence from the hands of writers more attuned to English writing. Characteristically anacbanua, Villafania's poetry echoes his predecessors and presages a promising era for young writers in Pangasinan." – Dr. Marot Nelmida-Flores
