A friend is a person with whom I may be sincere. Before him I may think aloud. I am arrived at last in the presence of a man so real and equal, that I may drop even those undermost garments of dissimulation, courtesy, and second thought, which men never put off, and may deal with him with the simplicity and wholeness with which one chemical atom meets another.
nahi ban jata koi yu hi dil lagane se,
karni padti hai dua rab se sachcha dost pane me,
rakhna sambhal ke dosti apni,
tod na dena ye kisi ke bahkane se.
