Asli watan Afghanistan de
Us m’e naseeb prado mulko ke de ma’eena, o yaara ma’eena

Marg-e nedaragem khalko
Ka de watan pa hadeeroke khawre shoma

Yao war me khpel watan ta boz’e
Prade watan de marau qadre kamaweena

Afghanistan – Translation

Afghanistan is my native soil,
The fate has taken me to strange estates,
O my ladylove!

Take me once to my own home
In a strange earth one’s dignity is decreased.

O people!
I am not afraid of death!
Provided I am buried
…and turned to dust in my own soil

Darya has been written this song in the year of 1993 in Germany. Translated by: Prof. M. I. Negargar
