Ghani Khan

Ma leedali da ferang khkule jazoona

I have seen the airplanes of Firang (British)

Che da lande thre ghurzand wakhi sindoona

Underneath you see the thunders of the ocean

Ma leedali mahaloona da london

I have seen the palaces of London

Jeenakay masthay azaade gulbadan

Beautiful, free and romantic girls

Ma leedalay da Italy khkulay kharoona

I have seen the beautiful cities of Italy

Sra ye angoor, sra ye sharab, aw sra ye guloona

With red grapes, red wines and red flowers

Ma ledale da Paris khaparay khkulay

I have seen the beautiful girls of Paris

Pa kiradar, gufthar khwagay laka bulbulay

With sweet voice and style like butterfly

Ma leeday Tajmahal ghotay da golo

I have seen the flowers of Taj Mahal

Da delhi khkule kharoona da Mugholo

Beautiful Mughal cities of Delhi

Ma leedalay America ke dee kharoona

I have seen cities in America

Che aoryazo tha ye rasee makanoona

The buildings touching the clouds

Kho che aoweenam da khpal da khato kor

But once I see my own house made of mud

Rana her shee mahaloona khaistha nor

I forget about all the palaces of the world

Da nare thange kusse zama da kali

These narrow streets of my village

Wartha sa dee da dunya kharoona khkulay

Are dearer to me than all the beautiful cities of the world

Che kharh makhay wror Pakhtoon seenay la dar shee

Once you embrace an uneducated and simple Pakhtoon brother

Darna her ba tol khais da bahrobar shee

You will forget about all the beauties of the universe

Khudaya shukar che paida de da de qaaam krham

Thanks Allah that I am born in this nation

Da pakhtoon da nar wajood de yaw andaam khram

I am a part of the body of an upright Pakhtoon

Sa ba khram da London loway mahaloona

The big palaces of London are of no use to me

Da Paris junay khaistha Rome guloona

And the beautiful girls of Paris and flowers of Rome

Pa Wallah che da Jannata ba sham sthoon

I swear I will come out of Paradise

Che kanzal pa ke wawnawram da Patkhoon

If I don¡¯t listen to the traditional language of Pakhtoon
