Poetry
[edit]An excerpt from one of Sher-Ali's most famous poems, about three years before his death:[3]
یکی گفتی تو ایرانی، دیگر گفتی تو تاجیکی
Яке гуфтӣ ту эронӣ, дигар гуфтӣ ту тоҷикӣ
جدا از اصل خود میرد کسی مارا جدا کردست
Ҷудо аз асли худ мирад касе моро ҷудо кардаст
English:
Once you said "You're Iranian," then you said "You are Tajik"
May he die separated from his own origin, who has separated us
