Years.Some Time He Weeps And Looks Here And There So No Body Could See Him.Now
It Is 10.30 Am Train Official Time. He Goes In The Middle Of Track But Train
Does Not Come Still,It Seems Train Is Late.He Sits In The Middle Of Track And
Thinks,O Life Why Are You So Pinching;He Who Loves You Dies.You Are Like An
Orphan Whose Parents Died With His Birth.
Your Springs Are Autumn Coated.You Snatched My Life Before I Could Live.Breaths
Are Like A Tattered Cloth Which Keeps Bare Either Wear Or Not.You Gave Me 3
Roses But Before They Bloom You Scorched Their Soft Pettles.You Snapped Land
From My Feet And Sky From My Head.If You Could Give Me A Little Bit Time,I Could
Have Played With My Roses.But,Alas’; He Cries,O,You Grabbed Redness Of My
Roses.You Gave Me A Grief More Than I Deserve But I Will Punish You More Than
You Deserve.I Will Kill You Percipitously.I Will Not Embellish You In A Shroud.I
Will Dissipate You As You Scattered My Roses.No Grave No Memory ,No Water,No
Prayers For You.You Gave Me Smoke I Will Give You Blood,He Cries And Strikes His
Head Against Iron Walls Then Looks The Empty Track With Dejected Mind .Why Does
Life Anguish .’There Are Many Such Pains As Are Hard To Bear And Hard To Sustain
In Such Cases Death Is The Only Remedy.

Black Smith Cuts Iron.No Medicine Could Be Prepared Unless Herbs Are Crumbled

Generous Work.
Mrshafique.Education Is The Best Gift That A Man Can Give To Humanity.Our
Problems Are Because We Are Ignorant.Education Gives New Life With New
Horizons.Slaves Are Always Ignorant.Have You Ever Seen A Farmer He Never Sows
Seeds Unless He Never Ploughs Because In Ploughing Old Soil Went Down And New
Soil Comes Out To Flourish Crops.If You Want To Set Your Nation Free Educate
Them.How Many Children Are Here Who Will Become Poison For Future If We Donot
