We Were Only Four

Your stature, visage and old memories

Till now remain in my wistful eyes



Undoubtedly you are friend of mine

Our flourishing amity like sunshine



I don’t mind if you forget me

If tears burst and make wet me



Really when my thoughts go into past

I lost for moments but so vast



It’s sure that we were only four

One here and three gone to explore



Irfan, Ashraf, Tafseer and Nawaz

One by one parted with some pause



For the time being this separation

One day will reinstate relation



I pray that we see again each other

Just like past again live together

Felt alot of deep emotion here. Can you tell me, what caused the separation? I pray too, that you all come together again.

Hi, I am so sorry I could not reply on your comments on my poem "We were only four". My first friend and class fellow went to England for Ph.D and other two friends gone to Turkey. One went back during his study. Because his brother also went to America for Ph.D and died in road accident. My teacher and your friend Iqbal Ahmad Rashid has died in 2019. I am so worried about his uncertain death. iqbal was my best friend and also teacher. I pray to him to my Allah.
