The poet says that in the night, the tiger hears the
sounds of the patrolling cars.
Patrolling cars are the vehicles of police which are
used to guard at night.
So, in the night the tiger hears the sounds of these
cars.
He then stares at the shining stars with his shining
eyes.
The poet wants to say that the tiger is sad and as he
is confined in the cage, so, he cannot do anything.
Therefore, he stares at the stars in the night and
tries to divert his thoughts towards them.
