Academia: English Poem by Iqra Jamal

Industrious tutees, holding excellence certificates,

Freshmen entered through the grand varsity gate;

Inspired and aroused, ready to illuminate the fate;

Secretive universe is indeed expecting you to innovate.

Inspecting around cafes, strolling from campus to lab;

Bookworms seeking expertise through books and tab;

Influential to poverty-stricken, intellectual to dull-drab;

Assessments came near: we are ready to learn and grab.

Versatile seminars & amusing carnivals with high fares;

Directing committee – organized to resolve scholar’s affairs;

Professional lecturers with Rector and Directors, well aware;

Youth is the mainstay – the nation’s vigor, be aware.

Projects and assignments, ceaseless fight in a battlefield;

Collaborate & inaugurate, secrets are everywhere to reveal;

Knowledge is power – remedy of ignorance, a defensive shield;

Read! in the name of Lord, who has created man from congeal.
