Dosti mausam nahi

A poetic Roman Urdu meditation on what friendship is not — not seasonal, not temporary, not ash — but breath itself.

Dosti mausam nahi,
apni mudat pori kare aur rukhsat ho jaye.
dosti sawan nahi,
toot k barse aur tham jaye.
dosti aag nahi
sulge bharke aur rakh ho jaye.
dosti aftab nahi
chamke aur dob jaye,
dosti phool nahi khile aur murjha jay.
dosti to saans hai
jo chale to sab kuch hai,
jo toot jaye to kuch bhi nahi.
