Brilliant Dervaish Mashra, got it.
About the software - try this.
If you are using an up-to-date version of Windows (XP onwards, I guess) you can fairly easily add a Pashto keyboard by going to Control Panel - find the language option, add the keyboard - a language marker will appear on the bottom right-hand side of the screen.
Let me know how you get along.
By the way my dialect is Yusufzai though my preferred ye/ya tends to be written as ی rather than ے. To be honest though, the ے has a definite pronunciation whereas the ی and the various forms are sometimes debated. There are rules, which I need to constantly go back to, but I'm not the expert here and my Pashto writing is Pashto keyboarding.
Anwyay, my request ... are you ready for it? May, I, with your permission, use your poem as a feature on my blog space? I'll credit you, obviously, but it's just that I enjoyed it so much, I think it's something that needs sharing in more than one place.
