To the IAS Topper!

Over the debris of millions of lost hours,

Where thousands lie maimed,

of their hope and confidence,

Where years of perseverance just gone by,

Not finding their name on that list,

That they dreamt for ages!

You emerge as the winner,

With that unbelieving smile,

Which couldn’t hide the pain!

May be, your hours counted more,

May be, you focused more,

May be, you were more obstinate than others,

And off course, you are NOT JUST lucky!

For, the sacrifices you made,

For, the patience you bore,

With all the best wishes,

Many congratulations to you - the IAS topper!
