Hamza Baba!

ka ta klaka pukhtana ye, no za hum pukhtoon zalmay yem,
ta pa baam da khatu na ye, za pa daar khatale na sham...


If you're a proud Pushtuni, I too am a pathan youth,
If you can't step up the roof of your house, I too am not prepared to be hanged ...

Che pa zrha ke de sa aib na wee Rehmana!
Khkule makh ta pa kato ke gunah nishta...

It is of course one of his most famous verses...

... signs for less-than for { & greater-than for } respectively.
Posted by bmk on Thursday March 27, 2008 10:32 pm
I guess ba'm has same meaning in Pashto & Urdu. as ba'm o dar.


& wid pleasure...

{i} for italic {/i}
{b} for bold {/b}
{u} for underline{/u}

{img src="paste the link here in between quotes upto file extension, e.g www.abc.com/gogoshto.jpg"}

note: that photo shud be online already; u can't direct fotos from PC. I have an account on www.photobucket.com for that.

finally, replace all the curly brackets above with the signs for less-than () on keyboard.

Well, I tried to recall something else to replace the word PUSHTUNI but couldn't found one. And Ba'm would definetly be of 'mud' if we think of it in the context of our rural culture.

BTW, could you teach me how to edit the font in ilogs? plus how could I insert a photo in ilogs?....

nice selection.

somehow, PUSHTUNI didn't click. no alternate comes to mind as well though...

and I read KHATU as KHATTU (mud) for the first time... ba'm da khattu make sense too. :)
