Both of them the ragged men,
The patriots,
Singing ballads
Of freedom and liberation.

The ragged Ph.D. guide and the ragged scholar,
Both of them the ragged men
Of India,
Singing ballads,
Trying to dodge the Irish sergeant not,
But the British officer on duty,
Loyal to the Govt.,
On the look out for the freedom fighters,
Irish not, Gandhian.

The ragged men talking under the moonshine
Near the dockyard,
Ready to welcome the compatriots
Coming by boat
As for the materials,
All in a disguise,
All to clip and tag.

The ragged man did his Ph.D. so
And his scholar now doing ti as thus,
Clipping an dcopying,
Copying and pasting
And pastiching
To be a Ph.D.
