How do Shahid and the writer react to the knowledge that Shahid is going to die?

Answer»

Shahid spoke to the narrator about his approaching death for the first time on 25th April 2001. After a long conversation, Shahid wished that the narrator should write something on him. The narrator tried to console him that he would be fine soon, but the poet seemed to have accepted his fate with dignified grace.

The narrator, at last, agreed to the poet’s request. Shahid never lost courage when the tests revealed that he had malignant tumour. He bore all the discomfort with fortitude even when he was about to undergo the surgery. He remained a fighter and preferred to walk rather than sitting on a wheel chair, in his last moments, he was at peace with himself and talked about meeting his mother in the life after death.
