Qiti Č̣aw - My Wakhi poetry

ʉmre safar darozi,               
Ye ẓ̌ʉ jon deman qiti č̣aw 
Wakhten kuyer lihozi,          
Ye ẓ̌ʉ jon deman qiti č̣aw

Tuṣ̌ ki woc kʉmer qiriber,    
De hʉšeṣ̌ halam diwona
Ẓ̌ʉ khayol zi yozpiyozi,          
Ye ẓ̌ʉ jon deman qiti č̣aw

De qafas žrex̌k mayʉnem,   
Ẓ̌ʉ sadoyi dardet nola
Rakhniγ̌ de har yi sozi,          
Ye ẓ̌ʉ jon deman qiti č̣aw

Vitim wuz de hijr barbod     
Ti čaman ne wosta obod
Darde bisamar biyozi            
Ye ẓ̌ʉ jon deman qiti č̣aw

Intizori vitk nasib maar         
Ṣ̌ox̌teṣ̌ jai jahon ẓ̌ʉ nola                  
Ce dilen niyeṣ̌k owozi           
Ye ẓ̌ʉ jon deman qiti č̣aw

Gʉtʉw - My Wakhi poetry


Ajab diwonayi ẓ̌ʉ dil
Kay wozeṣ̌ cart maẓ̌ tawil

Xayolištev pe daṣ̌t wʉrxetk
Resengi ẓ̌ʉ wajʉday zil

Sayodi meherbon čizer?
Čireṣ̌ nay cart ko bismil?

Hazor gerdeṣ̌, hazor tingiγ̌
Safar ẓ̌ʉn vitki bi manzil

Yi nopʉxta gʉtʉw tʉ ẓ̌ʉ jon
Benay yow bay de hijray sil

Wʉzem nay tʉ kʉyer qobil
Kʉyi nasta ko ẓ̌ʉ qobil?

Noyex̌kev niv yoway č̣eẓ̌mišt
May maẓ̌ barbod aey ẓ̌ʉ dil

May thag woz išq wost kʉyer
Wafodoriyi γ̌afč mʉškil

Išqay maẓ̌er dʉo δet - My Wakhi Poetry


Cem waxtay xʉš bahoren
Cem baydet, cem sitoren
Cem hijret intizoren
Vitim bʉland yi ror
Reγ̌dim tre sʉmbahy kor

Išqay maẓ̌er dʉo δet
Aqlay maẓ̌er sado δet
Kivčev maẓ̌er vʉṣ̌etʉ
Waxtev albat wiynetʉ

X̌atev, Qilayi piryen
Manzilni čiz xabar nast
X̌atev yem ẓ̌ʉyi biben
Woz tʉwet borwar nast

Wʉz mast dem x̌ʉ dʉnyo
kandim, x̌ʉ tawčingem dix̌t

X̌atim ki waxti qila
Yemi maẓ̌er bowar taəy
X̌atem ṣ̌ʉnowarem nast
Yowni maẓ̌er xabar taey

Yavay x̌at darozi γ̌afč naγ̌d 
Pe tiriciγ̌ep pʉlan tʉ
Pe wiyinvay zeng may sun tʉ


X̌atem may weṣ̌ ce naγ̌den
Her naγ̌dni sahar taey
Dem ẓ̌ʉ kafi qalam woz
Voini da ẓ̌ʉ nazar taey

CPEC and Pakistan’s digital future

DAWN’s exclusive story titled ‘CPEC plan for Pakistan’s digital future’ is intriguing and promising, simultaneously. There is no denying the fact that the future is digital. Increasing access to digital content through the internet is, thus, vital for the development and sustainability of any country. Pakistan, by joining hands with China to build the digital future, has taken a giant leap forward.
However, the question who will or will not benefit from the project is important. The general perception in Gilgit-Baltistan is that this particular fibre optic network will not benefit the region. This perception is fuelled by the fact that information related to the project has largely been kept secret.
The report talks about a four-phase strategy which prioritises urban areas, starting with Islamabad, before venturing to rural peripheries. This strategy is tricky. The Gilgit-Baltistan region, through which the cable is being laid primarily, cannot wait till 2030. The federal government needs to ensure that the people of this region are not deprived of this facility, as this will be a repeat of their Sui gas dilemma.
This project must be linked with the Knowledge Corridor plan. All government and private schools in GB and other parts of the country should be given free or subsidised access to the internet to improve the quality of teaching and learning. The establishment of a tax-free Silicon Valley in Giglit-Baltistan can also help transform the economy in a short period.
