The True Friend

Never found so lonely in the battlefield,
Surrounded by hunger, poverty, unemployment, 
Inactive mind and a heartless body,
Seems I'm lost, tiring, weapons not working.

Somebody as bright as sun, 
Eyes like glittering pearl, 
Smile like a rejuvenated flower.
Riding a white horse,
Approached me, and I felt sleepy as never before,

In the dream, he told me stories from the east,
People not getting food for weeks, 
People unemployed for years,
Countless people not having a single penny,
But they are happy, 
Hope is what they have,

I woke up, and found friend had gone
But the hope was with me,
And I was not alone anymore,
And realized my true friend,
Was none other than my soul!
