The poem On His Blindness is an autobiographical verse in which the poem is describing the problems of his own life. According to him, he is unable to use the talent of writing poetry which was gifted him by God because of his blindness.
However his patience (mind) tries to calm him by saying that God does not need a person’s hard work. Those who bear the troubles of their life serve Him. He then compares himself to the angels which stand and wait for orders.
According him, like those angels, he is serving God by having patience. So the whole poem is about the poet, his life, his problems and his hope and faith.
