Salute to Sajjad Tariq and Tazeem Dar.

Friendship is one of the most beautiful relationships in human life, free from the boundaries of blood, religion, caste, or region. It is a bond of hearts, built on trust, love, and understanding. The inspiring story of Sajjad Tariq and Tazeem Dar stands as a glowing example of such a relationship — a friendship that has flourished for over three decades, symbolizing loyalty, brotherhood, and emotional strength.
Their journey began in their school days, when life was simple and dreams were just beginning to take shape. Sajjad Tariq, known for his calm and thoughtful nature and sense of humor, and Tazeem Dar, admired for his energy and passionate spirit, complemented each other perfectly. What started as a casual school-time friendship gradually grew into a lifelong bond rooted in mutual respect, understanding, and shared experiences.
Despite the passage of time, life’s responsibilities, and changing circumstances, their friendship has never faded. Whether separated by distance or busy schedules, they have remained pillars of support for one another — celebrating each other’s successes, standing strong in times of hardship, and cherishing every moment together. Their friendship is a testament to the idea that true friends do not need to meet every day; they simply need to care deeply, always.
Over the last thirty years, their bond has been strengthened by countless memories — late-night conversations, cricket matches, picnics, tea stalls, laughter, and heartfelt discussions about life. They have stood by each other through every season — youthful dreams, family responsibilities, professional challenges, and moments of reflection. Their friendship, tried and tested over time, has emerged as a rare and enduring gift.
What makes their journey truly special is the mutual pride and support they continue to offer each other. When one achieves something, the other celebrates with heartfelt joy; when one faces challenges, the other becomes his strength. Friends, families, and even younger generations around them see their relationship as a living example of genuine friendship — one that transcends time and circumstance.
Their story reminds us all that friendship is not measured in years or material gestures but in love, loyalty, and presence. It is about listening without judgment, caring without expectation, and being there — always.
As they mark their milestone of 30 years of togetherness, the duo reflects on their journey not as a count of years but as a treasure of moments — shared laughter, challenges overcome, and memories built with sincerity and trust. Their bond stands as a reminder that real friendship does not age; it only matures and deepens with time.
Looking forward, Sajjad Tariq and Tazeem Dar remain committed to nurturing their friendship — continuing their tradition of regular meetings, family celebrations, and mutual support. In an era where relationships often fade with changing times, their enduring bond serves as a message of hope and inspiration, proving that true friendship is timeless and irreplaceable.
Indeed, the 30 Years Friendship Challenge of these two friends is not just a milestone — it is a celebration of life, love, and the eternal value of standing together, no matter what. I recalled their sacrifices, and my pen urged me to capture all the memories in the form of this write-up. Yet, I remain unable to portray all the moments shared with these noble souls. When I look at today’s society and understand the true meaning of friendship, I realize how rare such selfless bonds have become. Now, people often engage with others only for personal benefit, and genuine warmth is missing.
I am proud of these friends who have played a significant role in every rise and fall of my life. I am thankful to Almighty Allah, who blessed me with such exemplary companions. Their friendship gives me confidence to face the toughest situations in life. What I write about these personalities is but a faint light scattered in a cloudy sky, for their sacrifices and selfless roles are beyond words. Their high moral values inspire me to do my best for the poor and needy.
In short, I am deeply proud of them and pray for their happiness and success before Almighty Allah, with bowed knees and a hopeful heart, that our friendship remains ever-green like a tree that never withers.
