Kabul River – The river of my eternal emotions

 

If my heart broke in half

I wouldn't know who to give my heart to

With wounds and eternal marks in the eyes

Sobbing over a fair and beloved question

I would keep my big Kabul River

That took my scream several times.

 

Oh my great and mighty Kabul River

Knowing my sorrows and lamentations

In the middle of the bridge over the Kabul River

I cried and shed my tears

And I dreamed of having better days in life

Watching the boats come and go.

 

Marks left by thousands of Afghans

They symbolize the eternity of this swift Kabul River

In the homeland of Afghanistan there will only be peace

We will have no more brothers killed in war

And we will not give our wealth to the fire vultures

Much less our white mountains between valleys.

 

Our Afghan people are the nation's supreme villages

Among so many wars lived, they never fell

Our emotions are in three vertical stripes

Our ground is our pride of being Afghan

Land of all your sons with swords

It is love and peace carrying the Kabul River of Afghanistan.
