A poem by Dur-e-Durran Ahmad Shah Baba
A great warrior and poet
The Pearl of Pearls, as he is known
By blood, we are immersed in love of you.
The youth lose their heads for your sake.
I come to you and my heart finds rest.
Away from you, grief clings to my heart like a snake.
I forget the throne of Delhi,
when I remember the mountain tops of Pakhtunkhwa.
If I must choose between the world and you,
I shall not hesitate to claim your barren deserts as my own.
