زه لوی شوی یم مور

ته نور نشې کولای ما له ځانه سره وړي

زما انديښنې اوس زياتې دي

زما د خوبونو لست تر ما لوړ دی

زه دومره لوی شوی یم چې اوس نه شم کولای د شپې له خوا ستا دروازې

ته ولاړ شم او ژاړم.

I grew up mom,

You can’t carry me anymore,

My worries are more now,

My list of dreams is taller than me,

I have grown so much that now I can no longer go to your door at night and cry.

-Belal J.

Da mohabbat bazaar ke ogarzedam,

Da cha awaaz da cha khanda kharseda.

Sok ba da stargo isharo pasi tlal,

Da cha andaaz da cha ada'a kharseda.

Zamong badrango cha parwa na kola,

Da khukolo khukolo ba khukula kharseda.

“Ghani” khafa ao khali las raghay,

Na ye ikhlas na ye wafa kharseda.
