Abstract: The poet persona talks about his failure in life and yielding to the Universe’s stupendous powers. He surrenders by stating that if the Lord wants him to die, he’ll die, and like a dead fish, he’ll float lifelessly over the Ocean of Existence. He entered this world in the garb of a fish, and from there, started his journey which ended in crossing many rivers and seas. But still, he was unable to find out the key to unlock the abstruseness of worldly existence, or even if he has got it, he has lost it. The poem ends with the persona being a dead fish without any remembrance of past events, clustered around by flies with the All Merciful sky upwards. The poem embarks a journey, a quest which starts from the personal sphere and finally merges with the Universal.
