Analysis of Illusion

Quaid-Uz-Zaman 1954 (Jamalpur)



Last night i died several times and definitely i was a coward one;
wrapped with heavy darkness
i smelled my body soil and smelled the soil reserved for me
fire flies gave me the light flickering all around;
i found my body naked
and  had my undressing as well ;
i took off all the garments
one after another
all my ages melted away
all the thoughts evaporated and
all the dreams went on leaving
till i came to myself
 --to the soul
and  found an answer but
unexplained and mystified.
