Diamond jubilee has ended and regrets have risen from depth of my soul
Deedar didn’t take place in Afghanistan, for which my heart whines
O Master of righteous; Come once to the Afghan land
So lovers may rise in ecstasy of your rejoining as rosaries
Diamond jubilee has ended and regrets have risen from depth of my soul
Neither you come in Golden jubilee nor in Diamond jubilee
Souls of your lovers are in an enduring pain and burning
Deedar didn’t take place in Afghanistan, for which my heart whines
We are still impatiently waiting for your rejoining
Pleasant the day, when words of the despair disappears
Diamond jubilee has ended and regrets have risen from depth of my soul
Deedar didn’t take place in Afghanistan, for which my heart whines

Therefore, on behalf of the Ismaili Imamat and the Aga Khan Development Network, I underline, once again, our enduring commitment to Afghanistan and to its peoples.” His Highness the Aga Khan delivers his statement on behalf of the Imamat and the AKDN at the UNAMA Geneva Conference on Afghanistan November 28, 2018.
