College Anthem

“ भारत माता के हम हैं संतान
आगे बढ़ेंगे लेकर ये अरमान,
हर दिशा में फैलायेंगे ज्ञान
सदाचार से बढ़ायेंगे शान II

मानवता का धर्म निभाना है
मौका सुनहरा नहीं गवाना है,
सदैव रहेगी याद ये जिम्मेदारी
सदैव रहेगी जिंदा अपनी खुद्दारी II

अच्छाई से अपना कर्म करेंगे
बुराई के आगे नहीं झुकेंगे,
मकसद हमारा रहेगा एक ही
हर संघर्ष में नेकी जीतेगी II

जीवन भर विश्वास ये रखेंगे
हर कदम साथ मिलकर चलेंगे,
भारत माता की जय हो जय हो
इंपीरियल कॉलेज की जय हो II
