The poem begins by explaining how mother gave him life and died and it continuously explain how he expresses grief, for his mother and cannot see him grown-up and cannot see how his son has lived his life. He says that even if death could be undone and his mother be reincarnated, it would be of no use because they would not recognise each other. He then thinks about all the sufferings, mother undeeago while bearing a child and when in labour. He concludes the poem with more feeling of guilt of the thinks he has not repaid the favour of living upto his mother's desire and to that of women is general. The poet thinks that being a man, he is also to be blamed for the fact that the men are considered superior to women for he has not done anything about it.
