Sher on Friendship Day
Friendship is a pure and pious human experience. It helps human beings to know, and to live in good spirit with each other. The idea and experience of friendship has been treated variously by poets. Their verses have opened up many dimensions of this pious human relationship. Sometimes, friendship also turns into enmity but we do not always understand, or even know how such positive sentiments turn into negative ones. These verses would bring you a variety of perspectives on friendship and help you appreciate the multiple meanings of this relationship.
tum takalluf ko bhī iḳhlās samajhte ho 'farāz'
dost hotā nahīñ har haath milāne vaalā
tum takalluf ko bhi iKHlas samajhte ho 'faraaz'
dost hota nahin har hath milane wala
