All the best... Dear friend

Times have gone by my friend
Laughing away our blues
fighting through the projects
submissions and deadlines
month long examinations
shorter than a week vacations

I think of School
and I think of You
You made the last two years memorable
You stood by my side
and never let me down

You always encouraged me
and got me through the difficult times
Very rare do people find such a friend
A friend like you!

Today your dream has come true
You have your dream job
and you are going to leave us
in a few days
your eyes shine with aspirations
your chest out with pride

We all share your joy with you
and wish you all the very best
a few years down the lane
who knows
we might need an appointment to just say hi

Now that was just a poor joke
Don't start getting any ideas
This heart is happy
Happy looking at your happiness
and this heart is heavy
thinking

a few more days...
and you shall be gone
no more will someone call me
"Come, The professor has arrived"
"We have an assingment to submit"
"I will give you a call and wake you up"
"We will complete this chapter"
"This is how it's done"
"You are my Guru"
"Come to college!"

And just so many tiny little things you did...

Thank you my friend
for these two wonderful years
I will cherish them
and I hope we can work together
again
soon.

InshaAllah.

Till that time, dost
Take care of yourself
and I pray for you
a very successful life ahead.

I will miss you!

My Best Friend

Along the path of life
I met a wonderful boy
The first time I saw him
I didn't glance a second time

he seemed to be a mere boy
studying in his 10th may be
then i asked him if he was from my place
he got all excited, "Oh yes, I am"

and that is how our friendship began
he talked of microbes and experiments
which i found an odd subject to talk on
to a stranger, yet he didnt seem like one at all

from there it began
we found out we had similiar views
and not so similiar one also
but a standing respect that held us together

days passed into months
and months into years
secrets
past reminences
future aspirations
we shared like little children

we enjoyed each other's company
and knew we would be friends for lifetime
we even decided to marry our children
without yet finding our own spouse

This heart always smiles when i think of him
he is such a dear
that he makes everyone laugh
in his own ways, he doesn't know how sweet he is

yes, along the way
I met my soul mate
and for him does this wise words
come alive and come true

"The most beautiful discovery
true friends make is that
they can grow separately
without growing apart"

Though miles apart
in my heart, thou shall never depart.
Keep smiling dear friend
for you are the most wonderful person, I have ever met.
