Pashtani Bol (Keeping Words)

Being Pashtoon I show no weakness which lessen name and status before my children. On either side these people stand stoning me... Onward I move not stopping until my final destination... Death is always there threatening me but I move forward... Doomed the journey trying to reach you oh my friend... _____ Poem In Pashto By: Afzal Shauq Translated in English By: Alley Boling Book: 'TWIST OF FATES' Poem No.102/Page.143 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
