Asli watan Afghanistan de
Us m'e naseeb prado mulko ke de ma'eena, o yaara ma'eena

Marg-e nedaragem khalko
Ka de watan pa hadeeroke khawre shoma

Yao war me khpel watan ta boz'e
Prade watan de marau qadre kamaweena

Translation

Afghanistan is my native soil,
The fate has taken me to strange estates,
O my ladylove!

Take me once to my own home
In a strange earth one's dignity is decreased.

O people!
I am not afraid of death!
Provided I am buried
…and turned to dust in my own soil
