The girl stands tall, with vision high,
Her dreams and hopes reach sky,
With UPSC ambition burning bright,
Her father's IAS dream shine like light.

She studies hard, both day and night,
Pouring over books with all her might,
She attends coaching too,
To strengthen her skills and see it through.

Many inspirations fuel her desire,
Reflecting their success, her heart on fire,
Her teacher motivates, guides her way,
As she prepares, day by day.

She faces challenges, obstacles, and stress
But perseverens, never taking rest,
She learns from failures, rises above,
Finding strength to push forward with love.

At last, she gives the UPSC exam,
Shows her dedication, her dream to claim,
Fulfilling her ambition, a triumph to share,
A moment of pride, beyond compare.
