Members' Own Poems Written in Pashto

[Roshina]

This thread is gonna be for all those poems we/y'all have written that are in Pashto. (Try to translate them, too, if possible, or at least provide transliteration with them.)

Looking forward to reading some :D (I've only one! And it beyond sucks, but I'll share it in some time, ka khairee.)

Re: Members' Own Poems Written in Pashto

I dont think anyone here is a poet.

Oh, believe me -- I'm more than sure there are some. There *must* be some :O

I wish I was a poet.
My tribe has produced one of the best poets of all times.

Re: Members' Own Poems Written in Pashto

I have written quite a few in English - long long ones.

Pakhto - I once wrote something, but it needs brushing up. Its had its sitting time, I will go back to it and maybe share...my Dad will laugh if I asked for his editing, haha! But I would love to write or express myself in Pakhto more than English...killer.

If we have more (English) writers on the board, Admin Khan said he'll open a forum for us to share our writings there as well But we need to be guaranteed that they'll post their writings there and that the forum will be an active one.

So I'm glad you said you have some English poems! Where have they been? And how come I didn't know about it, dude?! And LONG, you say? lol ... can they beat mine? lollll.

Yeah, me too. I wrote my first Pukhto poem in Dec. 2008, and I haven't looked at it ever since, lol. It's viciously long and un-beautiful, so I'm kinda scared of reading it, haha.

But I would love to write or express myself in Pakhto more than English...killer.

Like, totally! Pukhto is one of those languages in which you can express yourself in miraculous ways. I'm tryina better my Pukhto vocab; hopefully, it'll be soon. I love writing in English, but I'd love to write more in Pukhto as well.

Dude, is that a rhetorical question? Qrratu is asking if anyone can beat her LONG works? (haha!)

...nah, I am kidding. Content wise, I would say, it wouldnt even get close to how good yours would be, my talented lady. Show us when youre ready.

lolll... Oh please! Look who's talking.
My "Dear Lord of the Oppressed" is the longest I've ever written, I think.

Maybe I'll post the silly "love" one I wrote some months ago :P

Re: Members' Own Poems Written in Pashto

k!
Here's a funny one! :P
Pre-post: I am NOT a Pashto poet. It was just a try, but I haven't disowned it yet :D
If I need to post the translation, will do.

Ta Laare Da Bal Cha Shwe

Maa weil mung ba yaozai shu, pa tora tora shpa ke
Spogmai pa sar walaara, da khaista storo na laande
Kho jor hera de krram, gula, ta che laare bewafa shwe
Au da bal gulab baora shwe
Maa we ta ba zama she, za ba sta sham
Kho ta laare da bal cha shwe

Maa weil charta ba laar shu, sam laree ao yawaze
Zama da zrra har yao armaan, zama jwand tol sta pa laas ke
Kho taa awaz onako, ta che da bale khule khanda shwe
Au da bal storee ranra shwe
Maa we ta ba zama she, za ba sta sham
Kho ta laare da bal cha shwe

Maa weil charta ba keeno, za ao ta da seend pa ghaara
Zrruna ba khpal spak ku, yao bal ta munga dwanra
Kho sta sara zrra na wo, ta che da bal zargee dua shwe
Au zama na beparwa shwe
Maa we ta ba zama she, za ba sta sham
Kho ta laare da bal cha shwe

Maa weil ta ba laas raakre, pa khushalai ao pa khanda
Dwanra ba yao shu pa maza, da ghamuno, selabuno na fana
Kho pa naseeb na shwe zama, ta che da bal ranzor shafa shwe
Au zama da jwand saza shwe
Maa we ta ba zama she, za ba sta sham
Kho ta laare da bal cha shwe

Thanks, Master Khana!

Nooooooooooooooo!! LOL!! It's not based on personal experiences, lol. It's purely imaginative.
The idea for the tone of the poem came to me after I read poem that a friend of mine had written. I loved the melancholic tone so much I wanted to write something similar.
So, one day while eating dinner, I mentally whispered the words, "Ta laare da bal cha shwe," and then I said them out loud. Next thing I knew, more and more words were flowing in, and before I knew it, I had come up with the whole poem, lol :D

:o :o NO! I'm a FEMALE!

P.S. Look at my Display pic; it says "Pukhtana." And my nick says "QrratuGAI" (not "QrratugEY")

^Bakshana ghwaram.

I was on my cellphone that's why.

Oh and it says "PASHTANA" not "PUKHTANA"

[Roshina]

Re: Members' Own Poems Written in Pashto

^Bakshana ghwaram.

You're forgiven :D

Oh and it says "PASHTANA" not "PUKHTANA"

Pukhtana = Pashtana, lol
That letter is "khin" ("seen" (?) but with a dot above it and a dot below it), the "kh" sound used in Pukhto/Pukhtana.

Re: Members' Own Poems Written in Pashto

^I was taught that it is a SHEEN with a dot above and dot below it.
