Zama watan.......my land

In my land where every Pashtun child learns how to shoot a gun
but few are taught how to read a book
How miserable does the future look?

In my land where religion was hijacked to fuel hate
What can possibly be my people's fate?

In my land where loyalty is bought and sold
Will the truth ever again be told?

In my land where the corrupt and ignorant lead
How much longer will the innocent bleed?
