Raqs Bekon by Zarif Yusufi

Raqs bekon raqs bekon
Charkh bezan charkh bezan
Zulfa pas-e gosh parto
Mara az hosh parto

Ba nok-e panja beraqs
Ba tal-e tabla beraqs
Shor betey chooriya-e ta
Dam-e mastana beraqs

Raqs bekon sarw-e rawan
Naaz bekon dilbar-e jaan
Mahfela garm besaaz
Dil bebar renda rawan

Dokhtar-e Kabul by Zarif Yusufi

Dokhtar-e Kabul tu kuja merawi?
Chadar-e golnaar bar sar kardayee
Maida maida, qaraa qaraa merawi
Chadar-e golnaar bar sar kardayee

Rafti kheramaan ze pesh-e nazar
Mekoni dawraan tu shaam o sahar
Shaam o sahar az gham-e hejran-e tu
Gerya konam man ba sar-e rah-e tu

Shor o nawa-e man-e bechara been
Ah o feghan-e man-e awara been
Hejr-e tu karda’ast mara beqaraar
Beqaraari-e dil deewana been

Freshta by Zarif Yusufi

Do chashm dari ke dar aalam nadeedom Freshta
Mesal-e tu bani adam nadeedom Freshta
Zadi ba jaan-e natawanem Freshta, Freshta
Musilman inqadar be rahm nadeedom Freshta

Sare raita begirom
Lab-e qandet begeerom
Ba khoda gar nageerom
Hami lahza bemeerom Freshta

Ba sawdai tu sawda mera az yaad Freshta, Freshta
Ba deedar tamana mera az yaad Freshta, Freshta
Ba peshat aanqadar dast paacha meshom Freshta, Freshta
Ke qanoon-e tamaasha mera az yaad Freshta, Freshta

Tu asti mones-e shaba hai taaram Freshta, Freshta
Tu asti hamdam o ham gham nesaram Freshta, Freshta
Tu asti dilbar-e shereen zabanem Freshta, Freshta
Tu asti marham-e qalb-e fegarem Freshta, Freshta

Dokaan-e Rang by Zahir Howaida

Hama ja dokaan-e rang ast, hama rang mefiroshand
Dil-e man ba sheesha soozad, hama sang mefiroshand

Dil-e kas ba kas nasoozad, ba deyar-e ma ba hadi
Ke ghezal choochaash ra, ba palang mefiroshad

Ze tanoor-e tab’-e faani, tu majoo soroodi aaram
Matalab gol az dokaan-e, ki tofang mefiroshad

Ba feda-e aan kharabaat, o kharaab mardomanash
Ke shahenshah taaj-e khod raa, ba malang mefiroshad

Zinadgi Daray-e by Zahir Howaida

Zindagee darya-e sar shorida est
Tond khoi o talkh kaam o sangdil
Harkee baakash nist daryaa raam e ost
Bedilaan raa pai memaanad ba gel

Zindagee bar gardanam baar e geraan e baish nist
Omr e jaawidaan azaab e jaawidaan e baish nist
Man aseeram dar kaff e mehr o wafaa e kheshotan
Warna o sangeen dil e naa mehrabaan e baish nist
