Answers
Answer:
In these lines the poet expresses his grief over his premature blindness. But he is sad thinking that the talent of composing poems is lying useless with him although he is eager to serve God. Explanation : In this stanza we note poet’s complaint to God and realization of his mistake. He foolishly asks if God is so unjust that He expects a blind man to write poems. But soon patience checks him and tells him that God neither wants to take. work from any man nor He has any need of the gifts given by Him. God has given punishment to man for his sins in the form of light sufferings. So the man who cheerfully bears the ‘misfortunes of life and takes them as the will of God serves Him best. Thus the poet realizes that he should not complain against God.
