From the inmost recesses
Of his heart,
Subhas confided in Dilip:
'I am frequently
In the vortex of politics.
I deal with many friends.
Most of them are quite often
Perfect strangers to truth.
At least in you —
In your soul,
In your heart,
In your life —
I have found
An unceasingly dependable friend.

'Dilip, how can I ever forget
Your heart's spontaneous generosity?
You gave me ninety pounds
When I was in dire financial need.
A friend in deed
Is
A friend indeed!'
