You shine in class like sunshine bright,

With lessons clear-from wrong to right;

You plant new seeds of curious thought,

Helping us learn from what we are taught;

You listen to us when our doubts come near,

With your teaching it all comes clear;

You guide us gently, hand in hand,

To help us learn and understand;

With kindness strong and lessons clear,

You help us conquer every fear;

In every word and gentle cheer,

You show us that our dreams are near;

Professional attitude,

Loads of gratitude;

So here's to those who light the way,

Our thanks to you on teacher's day;

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
