On His Being Arrived at the Age of Twenty-three Summary in English
Blaming Time for stealing his youth, the poet says that it has taken away his twenty-three years without notice. It has passed away so fast that he couldn’t mend his career properly. He couldn’t find time to mature himself. His appearance has become mature but he still requires time to get inner maturity. Whatever time he has got, it was the will of God. Whatever one does, what one achieves, when one lives one’s life everything is the wish of God. No one can overrule the ruling of God who is the Taskmaster of the world. No one is spared from His eye.
