                  Da par da(or insert her name here instead of da) bandi ara larey, par ta na.

                  A line[Durrand line] of hatred that raised a wall between the two brothers -Hamid Karzai

                  For generations, the Hindus of India prayed for deliverance from "the venom of the cobra, the teeth of the tiger and the vengeance of the Afghan."


                  The men of Kábul and Khilj also went home; and whenever they were questioned about the Musulmáns of the Kohistán (the mountains), and how matters stood there, they said, "Don't call it Kohistán, but Afghánistán; for there is nothing there but Afgháns and disturbances." Thus it is clear that for this reason the people of the country call their home in their own language Afghánistán, and themselves Afgháns. The people of India call them Patán; but the reason for this is not known. But it occurs to me, that when, under the rule of Muhammadan sovereigns, Musulmáns first came to the city of Patná, and dwelt there, the people of India (for that reason) called them Patáns—but God knows!

                  -Ferishta, 1560–1620

                    I may be illiterate/uneducated but atleast i am loyal= Ze taleemaftah nayem (nayema if you're female) magar wafadar kho yem (yema if you're female).
                    I have loyalty= Ze wafadaree laram (larema if you're female). I'd say a better way to say it would be, Ze wafadara yem (yema if you're female), which mean I am loyal.
                    feather= par (the a is elongated when you're saying it so it's more like paar).

                    Notice: My dialect is Nangarhari/Kunduzi (they're kind of similar actually). Pashto has a lot of dialects, so which kind do you want?

                        There is a phrase in Pashto which has got no translation in any other language probably.
                        Can you translate it please "daraghay"

                          By daraghay, I'm assuming you mean he's/ nearing/coming. So in English, it's daraghay=he's coming, daraghla= she's coming.

                            He is coming means "hagha rarawaan dai" or hagha rarawana da"

                              I know but you can also substitute rarawana/rarawan with daraghlai and daraghla. They're synonyms like coming/arriving/nearing.
