    Ahmad Zaharia
    was
    much more
    cultured and spontaneous
    in
    his
    highly
    creative compositions than
    drug-addicted Elvis
    of the
    US.

      *English language
      is
      a
      highly
      dynamic and sophisticated
      modern language; mainly because of
      its complex admixture with numerous technical jargons on daily basis and its active embracing
      of
      international additions. It is not
      as
      flowing as
      highly. polished
      Afghani Farsi language though.
      ..
      Afghani Farsi, on the other hand, is extremely poetic and fluid- it is
      all due to its highly rich reservoirs of literary works that are left behind from the past eras. They were mainly composed, evolved and polished up through out the hundreds
      of
      years; especially, from the Ghaznawi era up
      to
      early 15 century.
      .
      During that period of time; unparalleled Farsi language, was undergoing major changes which resulted into productions
      of
      some
      of
      the finest literary works ever.
      .
      Fine poetic works of Roaducki, Sunah-e, Rumi, Jami, Sadie snd Hafiz set literary standards globally.
      .
      Even though; those great poets lived during medieval era; but still, they are having tremendous impacts
      on
      compositions of current literary works; songs
      and
      refinements
      of
      the modern colloquial dialects
      across the whole region
      in
      south-west Asia.

        Cultural outlooks
        make
        a
        lot of difference
        in
        creations
        of
        artistic works- ignorant politicians and military leaders could easily
        fall
        under the folds
        of
        their ethnocentric traps and cause global chaos and instability for every one across the
        globe- yes; you can’t escape
        from the confines of this globalized village anymore!

          One
          may wonder if *Elvis had any
          positive and/or negative
          impacts
          on
          “women’s lib”
          in the US- regardless; he was dancing away, like
          a
          maniac, which
          was incidentally
          coinciding during
          the height
          of
          that
          movement !

        Roaducki, Sunai, Firdousi and Rumi are the major architect of
        literary Farsi. They were all hailing from modern Afghanistan region or itclose vicinities bordering areas.

    Elvis
    stole the works
    of
    many other great artists,
    without
    giving any appropriate credits.

    You
    goofy people
    would do just about
    anything
    for fame and greed- *Ahmad Zahir; on the other hand, was totally comfortable with what he had.
    ===========================
    ==============
    =====
    He would have had definitely,
    (100 % sure), helped kicked
    the
    coward
    rapists and murdering
    invaders
    out
    of
    his
    great country.

      Even then; Elvis
      was considered
      a
      great
      showman and music performer
      in
      his
      own right- many young women probably
      admired his
      extreme dedications
      and
      empowering lyrics
      for
      their cause !

        You obsession
        with
        Bacha Bazi proves it- 1st hand knowledge; roaming foreign countries under extreme turmoils
        and
        participating
        in
        all sorts
        if
        weird
        and cultish
        activities.
