True friendship is a
precious boon indeed
It is not based on materialistic needs;
It has nothing to do with our state, loss or gain
He gives sage advice and
alleviates our pain;
With him we do not
hesitate our feelings to share
Status and power, true
friendship will not care;
A true friend will not
find fault or criticize;
In adverse state he
guides us with advice precise;
He gives us solace in challenging
times hard
Soothing our perturbed
minds in times of discord;
He will not gossip about
our failings and flaws
With such noble friends
we rarely come across;
Even when out of sight he
will; maintain
Cordial contact hoping no benefit or gain
A source of inspiration in deeds and thoughts
Not mere flattery but earnest his heart
He will not blurt our
secrets to everyone
And make us an object of
laughter and fun;
A true friend will not
puff with pride and frown
He will not show off his
status and look down
He is not bothered about
power and fame
Irrespective of status he
remains the same;
His precious company
gives us relief
In this selfish world of
deceit, and grief;
Many people claim
themselves as friends dear
But for their own benefit
it is clear;
And once their deeds done,
they vanish like mist
Our name is bluntly
struck off from their friends’ list;
Rarely we find such true
friends who treat
Us with such intimacy and
affection sweet;
Blessed are those who
have such soulmates
Who keep us happy, their
worth beyond estimate.
