اگر فردوس بر روئے زمیں است
ہمیں است و ہمیں است و ہمیں است

baKHt se koi shikayat hai na aflak se hai
yahi kya kam hai ki nisbat mujhe is KHak se hai.,

When sad or distressed I think of the motherland,
When thoughts are turbulent and damned,
I let the lush green mountains swallow me in their glory,
I remind myself of the hardship of my forefathers story,
A bitter sweet comfort in that I find perseverance,
Mind needing constant clearance,
I will not shed a tear,
I will make that very clear,
For my land did not blossom of this,
Thriving off warrior blood aims never a miss,
If the valleys were to hear my cries,
All my heartbreakers will fall to their demise,
We did not survive the harshness of wars,
To be be overtaken by this duniya’s jaws,
So adopt the undying infinite fire,
Never again to be lost in life’s myre.
Summer in Afghanistan, Panjshir.
