خوشحال خاں کی وصیت

قبائل ہوں ملت کی وحدت میں گمکہ ہو نام افغانیوں کا بلند

Let the tribes be lost in the unity of the nation, so that the Afghans gain prestige!

محبت مجھے ان جوانوں سے ہےستاروں پہ جو ڈالتے ہیں کمند

The youth to whom the stars are not out of bounds are the ones I love indeed:

مغل سے کسی طرح کمتر نہیںقہستاں کا یہ بچہء ارجمند

In no way is this child of the mountains inferior to the Mughal.

کہوں تجھ سے اے ہم نشیں دل کی باتوہ مدفن ہے خوشحال خاں کو پسند

May I tell you my secret, O Comrade: Khush-hal Khan would much like that his burial place be far from the reaches;

اڑا کر نہ لائے جہاں باد کوہمغل شہسواروں کی گرد سمند!

Of the dust blown by the Mughal cavalry, carried by the mountain wind.
Khushhal Khan Khattak was a famous Pashtu nationalist poet, who mobilized the tribes and formed a coalition to fight for freedom of Afghanistan frm Moghal emporers. Omly Afridis remained with him till last. About one hundred poems of his were translated in to English and published in London in 1862.
