My Beloved Country

Language: Dari

This short poem is about missing our beloved country. It was published in the Gulistan magazine many years ago and it still rings as true as ever.

چون بلبل ناله‌ها سر می‌‌‌کند دل

سرم هر لحظـه محشر می‌‌‌کند دل

وطـن ای مظهر عشق و امیدم

خطابت مام و مـادر می‌‌‌کند دل

کجا با دشـت خشک و بایر تو

جـهـانی را بـرابـر می‌‌‌کند دل

وطـن دیگر نـدارم تاب هـجـرت

ز بـس يـادت مکرر می‌‌‌کند دل

بـه يـاد‌ قله‌هـای آسـمـایـی

دو چـشـمـم نـادری تر می‌‌‌کند دل تـاب

(محمد امان نادری)
