Sher on Dosti

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.

mohabbatoñ meñ dikhāve dostī na milā

agar gale nahīñ miltā to haath bhī na milā

mohabbaton mein dikhawe ki dosti na mila

agar gale nahin milta to hath bhi na mila

The pain of love is fatal now, for my life please do not pray
