Beautiful Poetry about Friendship
Always have I felt, when the dew gathers,
A loyal companion, my spirit grateful.
Today, however, in the depths of my heart,
I sense that what once was has grown rare indeed.
Do not think that friendship is merely a meeting
Among lovers or lavish feasts.
True friendship is like the heart and lungs,
Pulsating life into each other.
From its thresholds, I draw faith,
And I am shaded by the generosity of the Divine.
Oh, faithful friend, be gentle,
For words of praise fall short when speaking of you.
Short Poems about Friendship
In times of ease, friends are many,
But in times of hardship, they are few.
Do not be deceived by the friendship of those you stand with,
For in adversity, a friend may be absent.
Every brother claims, “I am loyal,”
But few act upon what they profess.
Only a friend with honor and faith
Proves to be truly devoted.
Friendship Poetry by Elia Abu Madi
What value lies in companionship free of duties?
Shatter your pens and break your quills.
Have compassion for your tender youth, for they
Bear burdens beyond their capacity.
How long must I call to them while they slumber?
Did you think you would awaken them with mere utterances?
In their ears, there exists a silence,
As if their hearing is abandoned.
This people need ambition,
Or are you among those who forge ambition?
By Allah, if you were the son of Saad,
With the manners of Adi and the generosity of Hatim,
You would have outshone Galen in wisdom,
And knowledge is sought, not mere attire.
You would have surpassed Columbus in discovery,
And you would have challenged Edison with resolve.
You took from this ocean its pearls,
And you generously offered them in sequence.
You unveiled the secrets of existence,
Rendering each isolated faction into nations.
Yet I found freedom to be suspect among them,
As if they were created for a world outside.
And they appear to favor emptiness,
For every connection they claim,
Is devoid of essence, neither Arab nor foreign.
They lack worth, yet boast as if they do,
And the West shares their deception and claims.
In their ignorance, the strong are diminished,
Just as the sea grows turbulent in unity.
When they begin to clash, their fortress collapses.
A nation will never rise if discord reigns,
Oh, the struggles faced by a writer
In a society unlike any other.
If he speaks, his integrity remains at risk,
And if he conceals, he bears the sin.
With laughter, even in sorrow, they smile,
As ignorance chuckles at wisdom’s tears.
The moment passed without a trace,
And time will drift unaware of existence.
When weakness prevails, it is no wonder if
The lion, for its valor, suffers.
Oh my companion, your affection pulls me closer,
Until I begin to feel a kinship.
It does not harm us, while our love remains intact,
If our reunion is not entirely united.
People read what you inscribe with ink,
While your brother reads it in blood.
Sustain your spirit, no matter the cost,
And hold firm your resolve until you yield.
You cannot alter their essence,
Until the earth itself is transformed into the sky.
You visited, yet did not uncover its meanings,
Glistening bright, while shadows obscure.
My hand offered them fleeting thoughts,
When I spoke, they followed suit in silence.
If I were to draw alongside their marvels,
Each wonder would serve them as servants.
In the art of speech, I had never heard its melody,
Until intoxicated with sweet revelation.
It unveils the void, lulling even the elegant image,
Wandering through the wilderness with every promise of beauty.
If I have captivated, even slightly, with longing,
Then bliss envelops me like mine own heart.
If you observed the stars in their houses,
You could summon each whenever you wished.
Friendship Poetry by Mohammed Mahdi Al-Jawahiri
To you, I bring a message from a heartbroken soul,
With teary eyes that overflow with sorrow.
Do not underestimate the value of tears, for they
Are a release of burdens from a fountain of grief.
The soul endures situations where pain is a delight,
And we find tears to be a justified response.
It aches, for the loss of youth is adorned
With blood from hands, untainted by misdeeds.
Oh, father of Falah, have you heard the lamentation
That reached the ears of every attentive soul?
You were once free from such burdens,
Were it not for an unseen decree.
I weep for your gentle spirit and your wisdom,
And for the cord of your youth that is severed.
I mourn not for just one creature alone,
But for all that exists, in totality.
This sorrow grieves a brother, and this moment
Is a trial for those not accustomed to despair.
True strength in tragedy is mere pretense,
For sadness is a natural part of the heart’s fabric.
If my words are sincere, surely the eye of your father
Reveals the fractures of his heart.
What a poignant decline it is, needing
A reunion to bring the collective joy.
By Ahmad’s grace, the sorrow lies in knowing that his son
Embraced the sunset and did not return to dawn.
If I may, I would inquire about his thoughts,
In words that shake the hearts of the grieving.
Have you ever encountered in your life, a moment
That stirred emotions akin to a final goodbye?
I found that speech does not bear charm,
But rather silence transcends beauty.
And it came to you, expressing the depths of my pain,
In a single breath, of the wounded’s sigh.
