THE LOVE OF A REAL FRIEND
A real friend feels more proud of his friend's sweet Success!
"May everyday be my friend's heyday!" he ever eagerly prays and cherishes;
For, even long after the entire creation prematurely perishes,
The pure Love of a real friend, like the immortal HEAVEN, flourishes!
A real friend seeks never a honey haired Anne Gregory to cheer and praise,
Nor does he look for a marvellous Maud Gonne to applaud and appreciate;
For, he, like the Moon for the Lily at nights, and the Sun for the Lotus in days,
Rests far above the rests, who're ever led by outer attraction, lust, flattery and hate!
A real friend sees never with the common mundane eyes of give and take;
For, he is, for his friendship wheels' safe runs and sound halts, a self-erasing brake!
He, like the secure back of a Father, and the nectaric breasts of a Mother, lives for his friend,
And with the least anticipation, like the most benevolent rains, serves till very end!
Let's, thus, unlike most, practise the rarest Love of a real friend,
For, it's Abou Ben Adhem's saintly Quality,
can't be by words explained!
