Mara hagha chi Na yeh nom na yeh nekhaan shta

Tal tar tala ba kha nom payee khaghali

khudai de janaat nasib ki . tolo gham zapalo pakhtano ta da zara sabar ghwaram.

Pak spisali pakhtani roh de khad wi.Amin

khpal rabab ba tanga wama ,khpal kachkul ba garzawama.. Da pakhto khyer ba tolawama...Da pakhto pat ba satama ,Da khabaro wida kari da pakhtana rawikhwama..sha zalmy rawikhawama.
