سحرګه وه، د نرګس لېمه لانده، څاڅکي ئې له سترګو څخېده
It was dawn; the narcissus petals were wet,
Drops, like tears, were running from its eyes.
ما وېل څه دی، ښکلې ګله، ولې ژاړې؟، ده وېل ژوند مې دئ یوه خوله خندېده
I said: What is it, lovely flower, why do you weep?
It said: My life is one laugh, one single burst of laughing.
د دې شعر په اړه
The only poem of hers the book gives; its compiler says he heard it from his father. The Pata Khazana's authenticity is disputed (see the article), so the poem cannot be dated or attributed independently of that book. Each Pashto line holds both halves, right-hand half first, as printed.
ژباړه: Pashtunxwa
نور ولولئ: Nazo Tokhi (Nazo Ana): poet and mother of Mirwais Hotak
