Court of the Desert
I am a girl
From the provinces of Afghanistan.
From Ghor, Faryab, Baghlan.
My School
I prefer to learn in a school rather than in a tent
And I prefer to learn in a tent rather than no tent and no school
A Good Citizen
It is the way of life
Letter to a Teaser Man in the Street
I am a simple girl
With no makeup, lipstick or short clothes
I follow our religious laws
Ms. Dreamer
Living in the darkness like a grasshopper on burned bushes
A young woman wearing rose-colored glasses wonders
Orphans of My Country
They call me an orphan,
A little girl in an old dress.
I Am an Afghan Girl
The war is rising
I want in my country peace and quiet
Not explosions, but a place where people find work
Life Is Beautiful
When the bright sun
Smiles at you
Early in the morning
I Wish
I wish I had a house and a happy home
Where I could dream with open eyes
