Analysis of Cathersis.
Quaid-Uz-Zaman 1954 (Jamalpur)
There lie under the veil of falsehood
The truth hidden
in kernel to be
sprouting in dignity.
But here in a state of drowsiness
light carries no light
no rays
no energy
no promises
nor a sight.
Shadows twisted
and heart beating its silent beats
only whispering to itself
with surfs in the shore and blues beneath the blue
agonised
antagonised-
may be a tumultuous toiling
-a testimony of life.
