Hamza Baba Ghazal.
I shall always go with the brave pakttoon-
A pakhtoon, i with paktoo will go.
O nation’s sun! Like morning dew,
I with your scorching rays would go.
They who threw caution to the wind for their nation,
I too with the delirious like these would go
.
Beware! I am not the evil eye that,
With the smoke of wild rue i would go
Stranger call it the language of hell-
But to paradise i with paktoo would go.
I am not the sun that can’t return,
But with the inclination of the day i go.
The heritage of my past lies still in the east:
I am not the sun that to the west would go.
If the youth bloom into the world of paktoon,
Then i with these brave young spirits would go.
To the future i bring the tradition of the past,
To both with the pomp of the present i go.
Unless i bring the pakhtoon together,
With Jirga’s i to every tapa would go.
O Hamza! The journey may be to the Hijaz,
But i with the caravan of pashtoon will go.
