In life, it’s the beauty of light, we always admire,

But sometimes, it’s the darkness we desire

The clouds gather and darkness covers,

Water drops of deep clouds showers,

The hard dust on the things it clears,

Soon the new radiant glow one admires.

On a sunny day, clouds get us a cool hide

When the hide is comfortable, it parts ways

The day glows the sunray prevails

The change brings joy lightening our earthly tales

Let’s appreciate both darkness and light

Each of them has its unique place and sight

In the darkness, we seek the guiding sunlight

A contrast that brings balance day and night.

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).
