Lets Share our all time favorite Tappas, before starting it ......i would just introduce for our non knowing user about Tappas (what is all about).

Tappa or ټپه, as we write it in Pashto, is the shortest, most comprehensive and most attractive poem of the world. Pashto language is proud of it. Tappa is an important part of the Pashto literature. It has a format of tow lines. The first of nine syllables and the second is of thirteen syllables.

It is also common among the Pashtoons that a boy of school would sing it, the elders in their hujrahs, the women in their home and Godar alike. It is the only song sung in the time of grief and on the occasion of marriage.

Here are some tappas

گلونه ډېر دي خداى دې ډېر کړي
د صبر گل به خپل اشنا له ورکومه

(The garden is full of flowers but I have to present the flower of patience to my friend.)

[safdar302]

بس کړه په دغه ځاى يې پرېږده
څوک چې ښايسته اشنا لري غمجن به وينه

(Let us close and leave these Tappey alone, Those who have a beautiful lover, have to put up with some sadness…)
