یار دصفت محتاجه نه دی
My love doesn't need compliments
پہ ګلابونو عطر چا شیندلې دينه
Who has ever sprayed perfume on roses?

ده سر ده سترګو نه مې پناه يي,
ده زړه په سترګو دې هر وخت ديدن کومه.
Hidden from my sight,
Yet i see you within my heart.

په دې ځمکه کې څومره خلک مشهور دی،
خو په آسمانونو کښې ناڅرګند دی.
او په دې ځمکه کې څومره ناڅرګند دی،
مګر په آسمانونو کې مشهور دی.
How many people are famous on this earth,
but unknown in the heavens.
And how many are unknown on this earth,
but famous in the heavens.

Transliteration:
"Awala wraz baachaa, bala wraz wazir, aw bala wraz da khawro khamir"
The cycle of life is joy, worry and death. A youth is considered free of worry and free to enjoy himself, such as a king should be. The mature man, like a Prime Minister, has the responsibilities and worries attendant upon administering a country.
Alternatively, it is about the untrustworthiness and changing scenarios of life.
The idiom used for death is literally "the yeast (leaven) of dirt" (khawro khamir). When Pashtuns make bread (nän), they leaven it by adding a little bit of yeast (khamir) kept back from the previous batch. In the picturesque language of this rhyming proverb, even the mighty king and wazir (minister) become khamir (yeast) that is added to the earth as part of the cycle of life.
This proverb reminds me of a couple of lines by Ghani Khan.
پرون تخم وم، نن ګل یم، سبا بیا به خاؤره کېږم
زه د باد یوه څپه یم، په صحـــــرا په باغ تېرېږم
"Yesterday a seed, today a flower, tomorrow I’ll turn to dust;
I am a gust of wind blowing over the desert garden"

تمہیں یاد کرنے کے اتنے عادی ہو گئے ہیں ہم, کے اب اگر ملجاؤ تو تمہارے ملجانے پر غم ہوگا.
I'm so accustomed of missing you, that even if I get you I'd be more upset of having you.

Sometimes we see love, but love doesn't see us.
Sometimes love accompanies us,but love doesn't recognise us.
Sometimes love comes and goes, as if it never came.
Often love leaves us, but its pain remains forever.

ورځ دى تيره په شومۍ کړه شپه له خوابه
You've spent your day being greedy and your nights asleep,
خـــــداى به کــله يــــادوى خـــانه خــــرابه
Tell me O lost soul! When are you gonna remember your Lord?

" Stargo da janan ke zma khkuly jahanoona di,
Wa dekhla dunia za oogay sta da dunia na yama."
"In my lover's eyes I have my beautiful worlds,
Take your world, I am not hungry for your world."

زه لوی شوی یم مور
ته نور نشې کولای ما له ځانه سره وړي
زما انديښنې اوس زياتې دي
زما د خوبونو لست تر ما لوړ دی
زه دومره لوی شوی یم چې اوس نه شم کولای د شپې له خوا ستا دروازې
ته ولاړ شم او ژاړم.
I grew up mom,
You can’t carry me anymore,
My worries are more now,
My list of dreams is taller than me,
I have grown so much that now I can no longer go to your door at night and cry.
-Belal Jamali
