Aesthetic of the languages on earth : Pashto

Pashto is an Iranian language spoken by around 44 million people over Afghanistan and Pakistan. It is an official language in Afghanistan and the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa region of Pakistan. It is also a recognized minority language in the Balochistan region of Pakistan.

[mehreenkhan]

In Pashto, we don't say “I love you” we say “de stargo tora” which translates to “the black of my eyes”. Means the thing that makes me feel beautiful.

[iqrajafzal]

راشه زما د باغچې گل شه چې هرسهار دې په ديدن اوبه كومه

Translation:

Come! Become the flower of my garden

So I could water you daily with my eyes

[muhtesemz]

رنګونه ټول د جهان بد شو په ما

خپل کور په ما دوزخ شو بیا

ستا هیرول هم ګران دي

زان صبرول هم گران دي

زره مي اوس ارمان نه کئ

خدای ته اوس فریاد نه کئ

يو دعا په لاسونو اوچتی

چی مور راته ملاؤ کی بیا

the beauty of the world is a lie

when I lost my heaven I can tell why

losing her was hard,

living with this truth is hard

the heart doesn't desires now

It never ask the Lord why or how?

only a prayer I raise in hands,

to reunite me with her again.

ګلونه

This is crazy beautiful. Thanks a lot for sharing. Who's the writer?

[thvnking]

چې ځوانې وې ارمانونه خو به وې.

If there is youth, there must also be some unfulfilled desires.

[khaperai]

Da Arman-70s Pashto film

[pashto-literature]

ورځ دى تيره په شومۍ کړه شپه له خوابه

You've spent your day being greedy and your nights asleep,

خـــــداى به کــله يــــادوى خـــانه خــــرابه

Tell me O lost soul! When are you gonna remember your Lord?

[princess-of-thebes-1995]

We don't need to have the same blood to be family

[gulkhvperai]

بېګا مۍ ښکل کړه قدمونه ده مور

Beyga me khkul kra qadamuna da mor

Last night I kissed my mother’s footsteps

د شپه مۍ خوب کۍ جنتونه لېدل

da shpy me khob ke janatuna ledal

during the night I saw heaven in my dreams

[leekunkay]

ده سر ده سترګو نه مې پناه يي,

ده زړه په سترګو دې هر وخت ديدن کومه.

Hidden from my sight,

Yet i see you within my heart.
