که هر څوک وایی نازك شاعران شعر
ولي دوى ګني معجز د رحمان شعر
Ka har tsok wayī nāzuk shā'irān she'r
walē dwa gani mu'jiz da Rahmān she'r
Though everyone says the delicate poets write poetry,
why do they not count Rahman's poetry a miracle?
هیڅ تر شعر د رحمان به څه كم نه وي
و منصف ته د خټك خوشحال خان شعر
Hētsh tar she'r da Rahmān ba tsa kam na wī
wa munsif ta da Khaṭak Khushḥāl Khān she'r
Nothing will fall short of the poetry of Rahman:
to the fair-minded, so is the poetry of Khushal Khan Khattak.
About this poem
Habibi quotes these lines from a ghazal as proof that Pir Muhammad admired Rahman Baba and Khushal Khan. Habibi's copy gives four half-lines; they are set here as two couplets. The translation is the site's, and the sense of the second couplet is uncertain.
Translation: Pashtunxwa
