About This Quote

This is a poem by Muhammed Anwar Asad from his book, The Message of the Qur'an. In the first line, the speaker is asking why he or she was given a birthday. He or she was not born yesterday, so what's the point of celebrating a birthday? Also, the speaker is saying "The day of my birth is not today." In other words, the speaker is saying that while it may have been a while since they were born, it's never too late to celebrate their birthday.
