Thanks Mehmood Khana for your generosity. You reciprocated in a nobler way but allow me to say:

  Janana raasha che pukhlaa shoo
  Zama Sta sook dee che ba mung pukhla kaweena

Pleased?

Babagula, I feel honored by your comments.
The answer to your afore-mentioned tappa is:

  Janana mrey ka pa'tey ke'gey
  Da me aadat che narai stargey torawooma

Shazalmay has become a threat   ... hmmm...but let us see:

Da tha che zay aakhir....

  Watan da yaar pa stargoo khog day
  Che yar ye na'wi sa watan sa be-watana

or

  Che musafir shee bya ba raashi
  Da tooro khawroo musafir kala razeena

  Che "de" da tooro zulfu war woo...

Sorry Shazalmiya, you mis-quoted this tappa. The correct tappa is:

  Che "me" da tooro zulfu war woo
  Da cha ba kaar woo cha ba hasey ghak kawoona

As concerning "Da tappey war rasara magda", please note (with apologies in advance):

  Halaka dasey rata khkarey
  Laka cheendakha che pa loota naasta weena

Sometimes the best communication is in brevity and tappa <Kha da che tha da khaira raghley…> speaks it all. Eggzzeellent Shalzalmia…Eggzzeeellent!

Kala ba yam kala ba nayam
Pa boorjaloono mey da’da* raza mayana     *bold

<Ziaro jamo key dase kharey…>

Matha pa samoo stargoo goora
Za da dunya da kara tha weestaleyama

Khwday ba de bya ra’ta muhtaj kree
Tar Khurasan da wawroo speena khwla larama

Halaka bad’ me amokhta kray
Che khwla darnakram marawar garzey maina

<Poore pa ghar lateen baleegi….>

Pa isharat ba de ra’ghwaram
Pa joora* wroono** ba de prookee prookee karma   *two  **brothers

With regards to your remarks <Khan Baba won’t award …>

Halaka loye she burkhurdar shey
Rozee da plar she za de tash deedan kawaooma

Now hitting the nail upright, note the following:

Baghwan pa bagh* ke khurma** goori     *garden ** Pine tree/dates
Pa stargoo roond she khurma za walarayama

[mrkkhattak]

You are right , TAPPA could make the communication better   now see here

na muradey ya waar khulgaye rakra
tal kho ba na vee sta zwanee zama khawistona ...

yaar mein pa sero stargo main dey
za ba da torey stargey cherey badlouma ...

gham dey kamees na dey chey zor shey
zama da umar sara sam shwa sta ghamona ...

Much of the literature concerning Tappas (or traditional oral folk poems) emphasizes the fact that it is a woman’s genre, however, participant observation and fieldwork carried out by ethnologists argue that tappas are created by men to represent an “idealized” woman’s voice. What do the Hujra Members think?

[brad]

Asalahmo Alaikum. Dont know about that but can you hrelp me as i'm looking for a Hq Image of the Kyher pass .Do you know hwer i could get one from and also read my post in the I.T section...

[mrkkhattak]

Assalamualaikum,

You are right Rokhana, most of the time when we listen to/read Tappa it seems that it is of woman genre.  What I think is that mostly Tappa has not been written by anyone or composed by anyone, it has created itself ...

Tappa are those national couplets in Pashto whose authors are unkown. They can, therefore, be called mirrors which reflect the sentiments and passions of every sensitive pashtoon man and woman

These couplets, composed of plain, easily understood, yet fluent language, are totally free of the influence of foreign, languages.

Another outstanding quality of these couplets in that contrary to the general pattern of poetry in most (Tappa) the woman address the man. This is so because compared to the male the sentiments of the female are more tender, her sorrow more profound and he voice more sweeter, and that is why the (Tappa) are more moving in their effects, and the enjoyment is proportionately greator than that found in conventional pushto poetry.

Similarly every (Tappa) couplet can be recited in different ways on different occasions. To be more explicit, a Tappa couplet can be sung in different tunes and with different musical notes in combat and rejoicing, while travelling, whether inactive or dancing, in travail and happiness, in fact at all times and on all occasions.

I copied the above paragraphs from a web site, I hope it may give u an idea about Tappa ...


gul mein pa laas key khaza ke gee
pradey watan dey za ye chata wanessam ...

[rokhana]

Aye Khan Baba! Where is the Tappa's book as a reward?

Baba, don't you think the following Tappa serves you well?

    Da tha'tha cha wey che mayan sha
    Pa speena geera de baheegi selaboona

[brad]

Asalahmo Alaikum, I owuld like to ask somthing if i may of some users ( directing this at Rokhana) where do you get these "Tappe" from? as they are realy nice and sweet.


: Wa janna da dey so hadat dey?
 Chey nivay yaar ke, Zoorla russwat wake dey deera mudey shoona.

[brad]

Dey yaar shenay stonge khowaydi:
Zo bo da thoorey stonga cha ta waraoma

[brad]

Musafara ta khapa nayum,Khapa po dey yum,Chey ruk dey yaar a shuma.

[brad]

zo ma dey mina koor dey vranko,Biltona ma dosara so badh zore deyna?

[brad]

dey dey mistra ke mana nowai no, Laka shay dey paltic joorshowai no

"I think i'm on a roll" lol

[brad]

Naseeba Kom zai Bo dey Gooruma, Po garzadulo zo spin giri shuma.

[brad]

Po tama tama bio dey zoor kuma,
Na bo dey yaar kum, Na bo darkuma Jowaabona

[brad]

Livanay showe haal dey howai,Ya roog bo kallah bo dey wai de zro halona.



I think i better stop as i'm about to get the razor out...>

Mohammed Brad, you will find the following anthologies of Tappas interesting:

1) Roohi Sandary by Peghla Salma Shaheen (this volume entailing thousands of tappas can be had from Pashtu Academy, Peshawar).

2) Da Gulu Taal by Sayed Akbar Sabir

3) Sarood-i-Kohisar by Mohammed Younis Sethi

4) Gul Tapay by Gul Mohammed Kakar

5) Landai by Abdul Rauf Be'nawa

Spoogmai Krang Waha Rakheja and Pakhtu Tappay also are equally valuable anthologies of Tappas.

And now:

        Ka yari kram makh me tooreegi
        Ka yari nak'ram arman'jana nasta yama

[Musafar_Pakhtoon]

Hello guys!
this is interesting stuff. It really amused me and here is one tappa from my side too! specially to Rokhana, well done!

Zma pa zra ke warta sa de
Jenai lala lala kawi hairan ye krama

How do you like it! tell me

thanks,

[rokhana]

Thank you for your comments Musafar Pakhtoonna! I liked the tappa you recounted but:

  Janana khawray ba kha wakram
  Tha pa Ghussa ke mata khoor wayali woona

[Musafar_Pakhtoon]

Dear Rokhana! de ta ba za sirf da khpal qismat kharabai owayam che dasi kar shawai we no! no pa hamdi ba za yawa tapa woyam!

Qismat zma ya me da yar dai
Pa oor de oswazi da dwaro qismatoona

Ya ba zma qismat kharab wee
Ya ba da tolo yarani da ghasi weena

looking forward to your part of the story!

regards!

[rokhana]

Musafar Pakhtoona! Rishtiya wa'ye, khabara toola da qismat da:

       Da tooro jang way ma ba ookray
       Da qismat jang dey warkhata walara yama

Kho:

       Zama pa khpala zra khafa dey
       Matha pa loya laar ke ma jara mayana

[Mehmood_Khan]

Rokhana, thank you very much for the books about Pashtu tappa.

And I am back in this compitition.  . But the anchor person who kick-started the compitition has disappeared. And now this is an effort without a reward.  

Anyhow, take this tappa:

Awal ba kala kala gham wo
Oss the ghamono sisilaia pa ma razina

 

[Musafar_Pakhtoon]

Rokhana, nice reply and nice way to change the theme of tapas too. No jawab ye da dai

Jaram kho zaka che:

      Ma ta da meni haal maloom dai
      Zargia sa la dar kaom da oor daghoona

      ao:

      Stargi ye tori shondi sri de
      Che war ta goram zra me gaz lambi kaweena

Now I think you know why I was crying to you.
