THE STUDENT

God bring you acquainted with some storm! 

(oh student of Muslim India, may God bless your inner self with an aggression)

No billow in your sea break in foam, 

(because at the moment you don’t possess any enthusiasm in yourself)

And never from books can you be weaned 

(you can not reach anywhere just by reading your text books, as that is all you do)

Which you declaim, not comprehend. 

(you read it but you don’t understand it. You can only be benefited from it with an enthusiasm to understand what the contents of the

book really mean and how can they be applied in life)
