You have whispered in my ears we are friends forever So my dear friend don’t even think to leave me ever You have always been my friend in need and indeed So if you leave I will lay myself buried Your separation will be like losing my limb So it is better to sleep for ever than staying in grim You made my gloomy days sunny all around So your company will make me feel like queen crowned You came to my life out of my thousand virtues Your naughty words give me true happiness So I always try not to create a bridge between our soul’s closeness You worth more than my thousand relatives So in adverse hour all my pain and suffering relieves You understand me even though my lips don’t speak So every night I fearlessly and calmly sleep throughout the week You discover the best in me unlike others who criticize So even your rare silence is blessing in disguise You will win and I may fail in any examination of friendship So I pray the divine to protect from all evils that may affect our relations
