Utmanzval

Stari jwand la me rangeen ghonde yaw khob raa, Loya khudaya ma la jwand da maintob raa , Ka zwani me pa khafgan khafgan teregi, Bya kho Raba mala marg da zalmitob raa, Da modo rase janan pase jarhegam, Aqal wakhla bas de mala lewantob raa, Pa salgo salgo me tola shpa teregi, Ta zama shawgiro stargo la lag khob raa, Hase na che zanawar pa shan me jwand she, Ma "Ghani" la  RABA  jwand da saritob raa...

Ghani Khan received his early education from a religious teacher of the local mosques of Utmanzai. He was then sent to the National High School in Peshawar city, which was founded in 1895 by the Hindus of the Province. After studying there for a year he was brought into a small Azad (Free) School in Utmanzai-founded in 1921 by his father with the assistance of the Anjuman-e-Islah-ul-Afaghina (Society for the Reformation of the Afghans) just for the purpose to stop the people saying that a rich person is studying in city and poor will get educated in this wretched school.
