My Homeland

By Khaaksaar Kabuli
January-March 2000
Lemar-Aftaab

She was a free and peaceful land.
Oh! She was a quiet and safe land.
She was a fresh and fair land.

This dear land of mine.
No men than hers were braver--
I'd freely die to save her.

She was not a dull or cold land.
No! She was a warm and bold land.
Oh! She was a true and old land.

This native land of mine.
Named "Star of Asia".
Named "Swiss of Asia".
Named "Roof of the world".

This was Afghanistan-- land of mine.
