Anthem

Oh Great God of mountains and valleys... Who rules over the seas and deserts... May our language be proudly kept. The voice of Pashtoons May dignity, prosperity, sword, and faith Be Blessed Oh God hear my prayer Bless our language till the world ends. Being Pashtoon, Filled with courage I depend not on others but feed my life alone. Culture of my nation In your ways follow making me different as I travel life's path. Pashtoon do your best! Use your words write for your fate sake and speak your ways of life Accept my challenge write proudly in Pashto language For none knows better Pashtoon's expected dreams. _____ Poem In Pashto By: Afzal Shauq Translated in English By: Alley Boling Book: 'TWIST OF FATES' Poem No.104/Page.146 Web Link: http: //khyberwatch.com/nandara/index.php? option=com_content&task=view&id=378&Itemid=1 PDF files: http: //khyber.org/books/ashauq/index.shtml Poet's weblog: www.tolafghan.com/members/afzalshauq © Afzal Shauq
