Pantun is a traditional form of Malay poetry that consists of quatrains, or four-line stanzas. Each stanza follows a specific rhyme scheme, typically ABAB, where the first and second lines introduce a theme, while the third and fourth lines provide a resolution or deeper meaning. This poetic form is often used to convey emotions, wisdom, or cultural values. The origins of pantun can be traced back to the Malay Archipelago, and it remains an important part of Malay literature and culture. It is commonly performed in various settings, including weddings, festivals, and cultural events, showcasing the rich oral tradition of the Malay people.
