Analysis of Struggling

Quaid-Uz-Zaman 1954 (Jamalpur)



Let not the life  be shorter than death;  
let it  grow  to the height of one's dream.  
Dreams  that go beyond the skyline.
Death never comes before the appointed time
and
a graceful mind is always  prepared all through;
here everyone  gets  the acquired share  
of sins  and punishment
of virtues
and rewards.
Let not the darkness eat up your light
Lit up yourself.

Thorns  here and there strewn all around in a spiteful way.
you clear up all.

Vultures with their sharp claws will make  your sky bloody.
Be courageous
and resistfull

Let not the evil poison yourself-
clean
and be yourself.
