A thought

Quaid-Uz-Zaman 1954 (Jamalpur)



Placed on
'being' and  'being nothing'
with
longing love and earthen
desire
do we exist.

Not  fire we are made from
but with  glorified soil,

with mystic talent  and ethereal beauty.
 

There must  have been  the words :

'Be and Happen'
that
we return to soil
and
Soul to eternity.
