Transcript — original language
کله چې زه کوچنی وم، بازار د اونۍ په یوه ورځ جوړېده. له پاسه د چوکۍ سپاهیان راښکته شول او لار یې کتله. زموږ کورنۍ د یخنۍ په موسم کې وړۍ ټانک ته بېوله؛ دوه شپې په لار کې تېرېدې.English translation
When I was a boy the bazaar was held one day a week. Soldiers came down from the post above and watched the road. Our family took wool down to Tank in the cold weather; it was two nights on the way.
