Lyrics and Translation

عليك مني سلام يا أرض أفغانِ
ففيك طاب المقام وطاب جهادي
وطاب رباطي

Peace to you from me, oh land of Afghans
For, in you my stay went well, and my Jihad went well
And my Ribat went well

أهوي عيون العسل أهوي سواقيها
أهوي ثلوج الجبل والكوكب الهادي

I miss the honey streams, I miss their flow
I miss the snows of the mountain, I miss the guiding full moon

أهوي حنين الدوشكا و البيئا ميد وزدار
أهوي رنين الرينوف ... والرشاش العادي

I miss the warmth of the Doskha* and the Bi-amid** and [...]
I miss the ringing of the ~Renov and the simple machine gun

عليك مني سلام يا أرض أفغانِ
ففيك طاب المقام وطاب جهادي
وطاب رباطي وطاب استشهادي

Peace to you from me, oh land of Afghans
For, in you my stay went well, and my Jihad went well
And my Ribat went well. And my martyrdom went well.
