First Paragraph:

Inspired by communist consciousness, the poet is determined to eliminate the inertia, malice, and jealousy of society to build a new progressive society. Just as the sun burns itself to give light to the entire world, the poet similarly wishes to illuminate society by enduring all hardships. Here, ‘burning’ signifies the sacred symbol of sacrifice and dedication. He wishes to fill the world not just with warmth, but with calm and soothing rays like the moon. He expresses his commitment to live life with affection and to reach out to everyone with his generous thoughts while remaining invisible like the wind.

Second Paragraph:

The poet wishes to benefit everyone with a smile, just like a flowing stream. Just as fire burns the impure to make it sacred, he will similarly burn away the falsehood of selfish people. He wishes for the human mind to become as clear as water, with not even a speck of violence remaining in it. Furthermore, comparing himself to a bird, he wishes to make his pure voice resonate in everyone’s heart. Like a lotus flower, he will remain pure and untainted even while living in the mud, and will express the beauty of the world through his poetry.

Third Paragraph:

Initiated into high ideals, the poet is determined to remain as unshakable and patient as a mountain. Even if dangers approach like a thunderbolt, he will face them with courage and walk on the path of justice. With a heart as vast as the ocean, he will accept everyone’s affection and return it many times over. Just as the Earth silently bears everyone’s burden and sorrow, the poet also wishes to become tolerant and bear the grief of others, which is the ultimate example of humanity.

Fourth Paragraph:

The poet considers serving the sick and the sorrowful as the highest duty of life. Wherever there is despair, he wishes to scatter rays of hope.
