Friendship

Friendship

Nigaahon mein aur koi dosti ke kaabil na raha,
Is kinare ka aur koi saahil na raha,
Chaand jaisa yaar mila hame zameen par,
Aasman ka chaand bhi ab deedar ke kaabil na raha…

Dosti woh nahi jis mein jeet ya haar ho,
Dosti koi cheez nahi jo har waqt taiyaar ho,
Dosti to woh hai jis me kisi k aane ki umeed na ho,
Lekin phir bhi Uska har waqt Intezaar ho….

Yaadon mein na aane do hame,
Dil mein hum bas jayenge,
Tamanna ho Agar milne ki to aye Dost,
Haath rakhna apne dil par,
Hum Dhadkanon me mil jayenge…..

Woh nadiyaan nahi thi aansu the mere,
Jis par mere Dost kashti chalate rahe…
Manzil mile unhe yeh chahat thi meri,
Isliye hum aansu pe aansu bahate rahe…

pyar se pyari koi mujbori nahe hoti
kami apno ki kabi pori nahe hoti.
dilon ka juda hona ik alaag baat hai
nazro se dor hona koi dori nahe hoti

Tumhari har adaa ka kya jawab du
Apne dosti ko kya upahaar du
Koi acha sa phool hota to maali se mangwata
Jo khud gulaab hai usko kya gulaab du.

Dil Se Dil Bari Mushkil Se Milte Hain
Tufano Mein Saahil Bari Mushkil Se Milte Hain
Yun Toh Mil Jata Hai Har Koi
Magar Ap Jaise Dost Naseeb Walon Ko Milte Hain…

Kuch Rishte Anjane Mein Hojate Hain
Pahle Dil Phir Zindagi Se Jurr Jate Hain
Kehte Hain Uss Daur Ko Dosti
Jis Mein Dil Se Dil Najane Kab Miljate Hain …

India (Listeni /ˈɪndiə/), officially the Republic of India (Hindi: भारत गणराज्य Bhārat Gaṇarājya; see also official names of India), is a country in South Asia. It is the seventh-largest country by geographical area, the second-most populous country with over 1.2 billion people, and the most populous democracy in the world.[16] Mainland India is bounded by the Indian Ocean on the south, the Arabian Sea on the west, and the Bay of Bengal on the east; and it is bordered by Pakistan to the west;[note 1] Bhutan, the People's Republic of China and Nepal to the north; and Bangladesh and Burma to the east. In the Indian Ocean, mainland India and the Lakshadweep Islands are in the vicinity of Sri Lanka and the Maldives, while India's Andaman and Nicobar Islands share maritime border with Thailand and the Indonesian island of Sumatra in the Andaman Sea.[17] India has a coastline of 7,517 kilometres (4,700 mi).[18]

Home to the ancient Indus Valley Civilisation and a region of historic trade routes and vast empires, the Indian subcontinent was identified with its commercial and cultural wealth for much of its long history.[19] Four of the world's major religions—Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism and Sikhism—originated here, while Zoroastrianism, Judaism, Christianity and Islam arrived in the first millennium CE and shaped the region's diverse culture. Gradually annexed by the British East India Company from the early 18th century and colonised by the United Kingdom from the mid-19th century, India became an independent nation in 1947 after a struggle for independence which was marked by a non-violent resistance led by Mahatma Gandhi.

India is a federal constitutional republic with a parliamentary democracy consisting of 28 states and seven union territories. A pluralistic, multilingual and multiethnic society where more than 300[20] languages are spoken, India is also home to a diversity of wildlife in a variety of protected habitats. The Indian economy is the world's eleventh largest economy by nominal GDP and the fourth largest by purchasing power parity. Since the introduction of market-based economic reforms in 1991, India has become one of the fastest growing major economies in the world;[21] however, the country continues to face several poverty, illiteracy, corruption and public health related challenges. India is classified as a newly industrialised country and is one of the four BRIC nations.[22][23] It is the world's sixth de facto recognized nuclear weapons state and has the third-largest standing armed force in the world, while its military expenditure ranks tenth in the world.[24] India is a regional power in South Asia.[25]

It is a founding member of the United Nations, the Non-Aligned Movement, the World Trade Organization, the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation, the East Asia Summit, the G20 and the G8+5; a member of the Commonwealth of Nations; and an observer state in the
