"I have one great dream, one great longing. Like flowers in the desert my people are born, bloom for a while with nobody to look after them, wither and return to the dust they came from. I want to see them share each other's sorrow and happiness. I want to see them work together as equal partners. I want to see them play their national role and take their rightful place among the nations of the world, for the service of God and humanity." Bacha Khan
"Just a dream"
What would Bacha say if he were still alive today
I'm sure his heart would be filled with dismay
For our miserable state we have only ourselves to blame
After all these years we Pashtuns are still the same
Instead of taking care of each other and finally uniting
we ignore our poor Pashtuns and keep on fighting
Such great things Pashtuns could have achieved as a team
But it seems to me that will always remain just a dream
For our sake, I hope and pray to God all mighty that I am wrong
nothing will make me happier than seeing us united and strong
