Analysis of Ophthalmic

Quaid-Uz-Zaman 1954 (Jamalpur)



Even i fear to approach the red roses
and
red inside and outside me  
turning deeper and deeper.

The sky  is painted red
and  
the clouds  draped in red hues
are on endless journney .
Greens or  
blues,
no where.  
But seas and oceans are groaning with red
and flags in red  
fluttering  furiously .
Here all the challenges sink in red
and the steppings pass by as usual
caring not at all.
