We need noble, simple and honest friend
Who can take us to logical end?
Who never puts you to shame and always offer?
All helps to come in time and never differ
Not to agree yes for yes
Every criticism she or he may face
Pays sometimes heavy price for friendship
Never sheds tears, hide the face or weep
Considers problem as of his own
Friend's problem never disown
Even at personal risk relation maintains
Danger, if any, keeps off and contains
Insist on not doing anything wrong
Declines the lucrative offer but walks along
Thwarts any move which leads to fall
Shows the correct path with timely call
Many friends may suggest to go to bar
Long highway race in speeding car
Such friends deserve complete bar
Real friend remains very far
He, who is real friend, stands to loose
Still he remains as nice friend to choose
It is his real vision and long sight
In the real crisis he will prove right
This is simple advice and call
You should think ahead and always recall
Past mistakes must be rectified in future plan
Keeping away bad friends with permanent ban
This will prevent you from landing in trouble,
Bad friends will disappear as water bubble
Real will stay at the end of the race
Problem, if any, may not run away and face
Friends are indeed life's part and parcel
Bright at studies and in performance excel
I wish and pray for such good friend
Life long friendship bond not easily to end
Future is not shaped by parents alone
Good environment is part and parcel
Friends do shape the mental growth
They play part of brother and friend as both
On should consider himself very lucky
Good friend is always success to the key
He may guide us to the safety and to safe refuge
His role in life is real and huge
We may face lot many problems if surrounded by bad elements in disguise
They may pretend as friend but in fact push us to the critical cruise
They want to spoil our carrier for the want of some pretty considerations
One should choose friends carefully before arising of any questions
I pray God to guide me in choosing the real friends
I may not have sense to assess and to mend
It will be the friend who may come to the rescue
He may serve as barrier and help to attain whatever is possible or due

I would like to translate this poem
This poem is full of meaning, I really caught with this: “Many friends may suggest to go to bar Long highway race in speeding car Such friends deserve complete bar Real friend remains very far.” Sometimes, actually, for the search of companionship, we are resorting to friendship, yet by far, we always end up hurting ourselves for trusting most of those we call a friend. Traitors usually come in the middle of this people. The better way we can do is to first make friends with ourselves if we are able to do that, harmony and peace will follow. No man is an island I know… but first, we must make it ourselves and then attracted the real friends. (Noble ones!) :)
