“Literature”
Poem If
By: Rudyard Kipling

If you can keep your head when all about you


Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
Or being hated, don’t give way to hating,
And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise:

If you can dream—and not make dreams your master;


If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken

51
Eduverse Online School
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build ’em up with worn-out tools:

If you can make one heap of all your winnings


And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: ‘Hold on!’

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,


Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son!

# The poem “If” by Rudyard Kipling is a bundle of suggestions from father to his son. In the
poem, the poet tells his son how to cope with different situations in the life ahead. The poem is
divided into four stanzas having eight lines each. We will discuss each stanza in detail below.

Paraphrase
Stanza 1

The poet tells his son that he should keep calm and patient when others do fail and put the
blames on him. He should trust himself when all others doubt him. However, he should also
make a room for their doubts and try understanding what made them doubt him.

53
Eduverse Online School
In the fifth line, the poet says that one should wait patiently for success and should never
be tired by waiting because success comes to those who work hard and remain patient.

Next, the poet tells his son that other people will often tell him lies. However, he should never
lie in his life and always remain truthful. Others will hate him. But he should never hate them
back and rather spread love.

In the last line, the poet advises him to neither look too good, nor talk too wise because if he
acts upon all the advises the poet gave above, he (his son) will look too good and wise among
the common people.

Stanza 2

The poet says that he should dream big but never make the dreams his master. Similarly, he
should think good (about goals, future, etc ) but never make thoughts his aim because in
order to succeed in life one has to work hard.

Mere dreaming and thinking will never lead one to the path of success. Hence one should
dream of goals and think of a better future and at the same time should work hard to
achieve them.

In the 3rd line, the poet says that one should meet with Triumph and Disaster and treat
those two impostors just the same. Note that the first letters “triumph and disaster” have
been capitalized. These are the two extremes of life. The poet calls them impostors i.e. fake.
They either make one extremely happy or miserable. However, they are not long-lasting and
hence one should not take them seriously.

In the fifth line, the poet says that one should only speak the truth and should also have the
courage to face it when it is misused by others to mislead others. He should also have the
courage to see the things build by him in broken conditions and try rebuilding them with
worn-out tools i.e. with what energy or skills you have.

Stanza 3

The poet says that one should make one heap of all the achievements one has
made and then take big risks. In other words, one should never be afraid of
doing things that can either make one successful or ruin everything (pitch-
and-toss). If one fails after taking big risks, he should start again from the
beginning without thinking or saying anything about the loss to others. One
should try again and again until one succeeds.
54
Eduverse Online School
In the fifth line, the poet says that one should use his heart and nerve and
sinew i.e. courage when one becomes tired or fails. When nothing is left in life,
one should have strong will power which may encourage one to “Hold on!”

These lines are particularly powerful. The speaker is imploring the reader to endure, even if
that feels both physically (sinew) and emotionally (heart and nerve) impossible.

Stanza 4

The poet says that while among the common people one must keep his virtues (and never
behave like them) while among the kings (i.e. big personalities) one should never have pride
and ego. In other words, the poet is saying that when one is poor, he should keep his virtues
and when he becomes rich, he should never ego.

Next, the poet says that neither foes (enemies) nor loving friends can hurt one because of
what principles and ideals one hold. One should never give up them. People will often remain
dependent on him but he should never allow them to remain completely dependent on him.
The poet may also be saying that one should never give other too much importance or else he
will get emotionally attached to them which will hurt him in the future.

In the next line, the poet talks about the importance of time. According to him, time is precious
and will never come back. Hence one should start utilizing each and every second of life. In the
final two lines, the poet tells his son if he (his son) acts upon all the advice he gave above, he
will be able to achieve whatever he likes and he will be a Man i.e. a true human.

Why is the poem titled ‘If—’?


Most of the lines of this poem begin with the word “If.” To become a “Man,” readers have to
incorporate those ideas into their minds. Only then can they succeed in life. The choice is
conditional. Whether to adopt them or not is up to the listener. Therefore, the poem is titled,
‘If—.’ If one reads the poem wholeheartedly and obeys those principles, only then he or she
can get success.
What is the meaning of ‘If—’?
Kipling’s poem is all about how to be an ideal human being. The text presents a series of
advice following which one can become a “Man.” That’s why this poem does not have a single
meaning. Readers can find a variety of ideas in it.
