Da Husan Muqabla: Ta Pekhawrai Ye Za Swatai Yam!

haha. So this was the most commonly played song in Swat this summer (it prolly still is!), and I love it to death! (Another popular song there was "Qarara Rasha," which I'll post another time.) I'm posting the transliteration/lyrics of the song here with the music video but without translation for now. I'll write the translation when I get a moment later on, ka khairee. For now, enjoy this! I personally think the Swatai girl wins :p ... and I don't think I'm saying this just 'cause I'm from Swat, haha.... but, no, really. 

(Pekhawrai janai):
