Answer 1

Answer:

The line "they build a nation's pillars deep" refers to the men who are building the city. These men are building the pillars of the nation that not only stop at buildings and towers, but the administration of the nation, and performing all functions that are required to keep the nation strong. They include the soldiers of the nation, the government that runs the nation and the men who practice medicine and provide their services to the ill and wounded. Apart from these professions, all those men who put in their heart and soul for the welfare of the nation are building the pillars of the nation.
