Malalai, an Afghan folk heroine and warrior poet is believed to have sung this more than a century ago. She fought alongside the commander Ayub Khan to defeat the British at the Battle of Maiwand on July 27, 1880.

زما په گل په شان صورت وه ستا دبیلتون په خزا‌ن مراوی شوی مینه

I had a beautiful face like a flower but your separation turned me into autumn.

Wajangawa rabab, meelma pa saaz wakhanadawa. Wadazawa tupak, dukhman pa marg wajarawa

Play the rabab, make the guest laugh with a melody. Let off the rifle, make the enemy cry with death.

[qayys]

زه خفه یې خوا له لاړم ، ما وې اه زما په شان

ته هم ګل یی بد نصیبه ورک د زلفو د جانان

غنی خان-

Sadly, I approached and sighed, “Ah! Of my kind

Are you too – a hapless flower from a beloved's hair.

Ow, pa dauck kor ke, zra dumra goukhi ve. - Yes, in a full house, the heart is very lonely.
