Analysis of No Other Choice
Quaid-Uz-Zaman 1954 (Jamalpur)
The volcano has erupted
and
lava gushed out.
Don't get puzzled
or
irritated
or
be
agonised
rather you be calm and quiet
and do the best
and
peel up not the layers
of onion
as you cannot hold the tears back
let that sleep in a delta level
and don't worry--
if it is alive or dead.
(Quaid Uz Zaman,Station Road,Jamalpur)
