Ya me dunya ke da alamo na juda latawa

Pashto poem of exile: the speaker asks not to be abandoned among autumn leaves, in a world full of strangers and early-morning grief.

Ma da khazan pa wacho pano ke ashna latawa,
Ya me dunya ke da alamo na juda latawa.
Ka pa dunya v khushali za khushali sa kaom,
ma da ghamuno pa mairo sahar saba latawa.
Charta shledale griwan gora sarbabare Imdad,
Da yaar pa gham k ye naskor sar pa sehra latawa.

Tum kuttay ho kuttay hi raho gay

A misleading SMS that reads as a vicious personal curse — until the final line names the speaker and makes everything clear.

Tum kuttay ho kuttay hi raho gay

tum khud bhi kuttay ki maut marogay!

Jab se woh meri BIWI bani,
Hum dono bolte hain

here I wil make a million People happy.

Musharaf said: If I drop my uniform i will
make my whole country happy.

I will make the whole world happy!

Circuit:Apun aaj se kabhi jhoot nehin bolega Bhai.

phir itna baras ki wo jaa na sake.
