Ahmad
Shah Durrani
This poem describes his
love for his country
By blood, we are immersed
in love of you.
The youth lose their heads
for your sake.
I come to you and my hear
finds rest.
Away from you, grief
clings to my heart like a snake.
I gorget the throne of
Delhi
When I remember the
mountain tops of my Pushtun land.
If I must choose between
the world and you,
I shall not desitate to
claim your barren deserts as my own.
