[pashto-literature]

چې زه جوړ ووم تش ده خاورې، بس ده خاورې وومه سیال

Since I’m made merely of dust, nothing but dust,

ولې تا رکړو سازونه او ګلونه او جمال؟

Then why did You give me melodies, flowers and beauty?

[wordsinpashto]

Beltún:

Separation, parting.

ولے جوړ دې دا یار سترګو کې جنت کړو؟

ولے تریخ دې کړو بيلتون او خوږ وصال؟

دا سپرلي شپه وا - غني خان

•

Wale jor de da yar stargo ke jannat kro?

Wale treekh de kro beltun o khog wisal?

Da sparlee shpa wa - Ghani Khan

•

Why did you place heavens in my beloved's eyes?

Why have you made separation so bitter and union so sweet?

It was a spring night - Ghani Khan

[malghalari]

Remembering Ghani Khan

نه منم، نه منم ياره! مرګ انجام د هستۍ نه دې! خلاصيدل شراب په جام کښې، اختتام د مستۍ نه دې!

na manam, naman yara! marg anjam da hastai na de khlasidal sharab pa jaam ki, ikhtetam da mastai na de

No, I don't believe; death isn't the end of existence.

Finishing up the wine glass isn't the end of  joy!

[be-wajhah]

Khudaya, Aqal che wo Zrha de wale rakro ? - God, If we had mind Why did you give us heart (feelings)?

[pashto-literature]

لکه ده سیند ده ژوند هم لار ده

Like a sea, life has a path too

کله په غره کښې کله میدان کښې

Sometimes in mountains, sometimes in fields.

[pashto-literature]

زما بخت ده شمعي بخت دى

يا به مرمه يا به سوزم

My fate is that of a candle,

I'll either die or burn to give light

يا به بيخ له ده درياب ځم

يا به سر په چپو خوځم

I will either sink to the bottom of the ocean, Or move on the surface of surging waves

عجيبه زه عجيبه لاره،

عجيبه كاروان روان دي

Me and my unprecedented path,

How strange is this caravan

ما وروستي پړاو له بيائي

كه زه ځمه او كه نه ځم

I'm being forced towards my final destination,

Whether I move or not.

[pashto-literature]

ورځ دى تيره په شومۍ کړه شپه له خوابه

You've spent your day being greedy and your nights asleep,

خـــــداى به کــله يــــادوى خـــانه خــــرابه

Tell me O lost soul! When are you gonna remember your Lord?

[pashto-literature]

يو ګل یم ریجیدلی

Yaw gul yam rejedalay,

I'm a flower, withered.

یو باغ یم سوزيدلي

Yaw baagh yam swazedaley.

A forest, burned to ashes.
