Why does no one talk about how friends can break your heart so devastatingly, sometimes a million times worse than romantic partners?

گماں تم کو کہ رستہ کٹ رہا ہے

یقین مجھ کو کہ منزل کھو رہے ہو

حبیب جالب

Gumaa'n tum ko k rasta katt raha hai

Yaqee'n mujh ko k manzil kho rahe hou

Habeeb Jalib

[arabiataj]

وہ منزلیں بھی کھو گئیں، وہ راستے بھی کھو گئے

جو آشنا سے لوگ تھے، وہ اجنبی سے ہو گئے

نہ چاند تھا نہ چاندنی، عجیب تھی وہ زندگی

چراغ تھے کہ بُجھ گئے، نصیب تھے کہ سو گئے

یہ پوچھتے ہیں راستے، رُکے ہو کس کے واسطے

چلو تم بھی اب چلو، وہ مہربان بھی کھو گئے !

Real

Kabhi kisi ko, mukammal jahaan nahin milta,

Kahin zamin, toh kahin aasman nahin milta,

Tamam shahr mein, aisa nahin khulus na ho,

Jahan umid ho iski, wahan nahin milta,

Kahan charagh jalaen, kahan gulab rakhen,

Chhath-en to milti hain, lekin makaan nahin milta,

Ye kya azaab hai, sab apne aap mein gum hain,

Zaban mili hai, magar ham-zaban nahin milta,

Charagh jalte hi, binaai bujhne lagti hai

Khud apne ghar mein hi,  ghar ka nishan nahin milta

If life can remove people you never dreamt of losing, it can replace them with someone you never dreamt of having.
