Khodia sta wara dunya mi na da khwakha
Mala raka pa khpal loy jahan ki barakha

Chi kom zay ki bi gonah gonahkaran na wee
Chi kom zay Jabi charri da Aghyaar na wee

Chi kom zay ki wee bi hiasa zama ahsas
Chi kom zay ki sabar zaragai wee aw tash las

Chi kom zay ki faryad na awram di koondo
Mashomaan pa tokrro pasi pa mondo

Chi kom zay ki na mazhab shta na qanoon
Na ashaqan na wasloona na biltoon

Chi kom zay ki waazi stargi na bina wee
Chi kom zay ki yew shaan naan paroon Sabah

Chi kom zay ki baadshaab wee ka malang
Yaw ee takht yaw ee taj yaw ee palang

Chi kom zay ki maal awlaad dostaan bi kara
Chi kom zay ki na karawaan shta na laara

Starri stargi mi karri pati ya Allah
Zama khawkha na da sta warra dunya.

The Prison Dream

Khob winam alama ka e sok rakri maana
Prot yem sar mi ayekhe da khpal yaar pa zangana
I dream o wise ones, if (only) someone gives me the meaning
I rest my head here, on my beloveds lap

I love Ghani Khan's work. The Prison Dream was written during Ghani Khan's political incarceration at Hyderabad Jail in 1948.

why do mostly all poets get locked up?

Politics.

[Niazi]

Chi di waas de bado na wee
Sa ba ta yee sa ba de bad wee

Toba hala la sharabo chi sharab darta prata wee
Chi buda shi khola karshapa bia toba tobasa kaay
Hagha kha de bado bad wee de nakema chi ta kha kay

Mulah nast tokro shkor ta whyee randaan ta kharab
Gharib sa okee jumat ki na mashoq shta na sharab

Manana

That is a beautiful poem. They've made a song out of it as well:
