So far Pashto phonemic alphabet is the best way of transliteration to Roman script. I use it very often. It has only one drawback - is usefull in hadnwritting only as some characters doesnt exist in standard keyboards.

Polish alphabet is quite good, apart from transliteration of retroflex consonants.

I can't see a way how to transliterate retroflex consonants (ټ ڼ ډ ړ) in Polish.
Other consonants:
ږ (soft) - g
ږ (hard) - ż (rz)
ښ (soft) - ch (h)
ښ (hard) - sz
ج - dż
ځ - dz
چ -cz
څ - c
ز - z
ژ - ż, rz
ه - h, ch
ی - j

etc...

vowels:
و - o, ł, u
ې - e
ه - a, e
ي - i
etc

diphtongs:
ی - aj
ئ ۍ - ej


Transcription from Pashto to Polish would be more difficult than transliteration.
