SYA’IR LAMPUNG KARAM 

Orang banyak nyatalah tentu

Bilangan lebih daripada seribu

Mati sekalian orangnya itu

Ditimpa lumpur, api dan abu

Pulau sebuku dikata orang

Ada seribu lebih dan kurang

Orangnya habis nyatalah terang

Tiadalah hidup barang seorang

Rupanya mayat tidak dikatakan

Hamba melihat rasanya pingsan

Apalah lagi yang punya badan

Harapkan rahmat Allah balaskan.

As we know that the eruption of the Krakatoa volcano that occurred on 26, 27 and August 28, 1883 it is a very powerful eruption, tsunami waves big waves at the time it reaches up to several countries in other parts of Europe. That's why people write and publish simultaneously writing it in the media over many days are consecutive or printed in book form to the public.

But nevertheless there is a missing manuscript, Karam is Lampung manuscript written by Muhammad Salih, the manuscript was printed in Singapore in the form of a paperback book using Jawi script, ie the Arabic script with Indonesian / Malay.

Probably not many copies were published, so that the manuscript was scattered up to five States. But so far it does not tell the author was in a position where he actually when this terrible event happened.

Even if the script being used is Jawi script, it is not surprising because in the 18th century Book of the Book is written by the scholars archipelago has many outstanding, and although in general the people are illiterate, but they are not al-Quran illiterate. That is why great works of the scholars archipelago written using this Jawi letters.
