Sayeed Abubakar - No Gain

What is a life if there are no struggle and gain?
What's love if there are no joy and pain?

Existing like the dead
lying on the bed
of soil
will spoil
the goal of life, o Man.
Who can
be a Mojnu* if he
does not fall in the sea
of pain?
Without suffering, there's no gain.

* a legendary lover

Sayeed Abubakar
