Today, it becomes five years for the visit of Prince Aly Aga Khan to Gilgit-Baltistan Region and I consider this day as a great opportunity and a good omen to publish and present the Wakhi poetry and transcription with English translation in a video form (audio cum pictorial) on the EaglesWorld channel. Although, the textual form of poetry on Prince Aly Aga Khan I had already published on this website, I’m going to publish it again along with this small write-up in English in order for the audience to know about the importance and background of the poetry.
I hope the contribution in poetic and prose form will be attractive to the concerned audience and viewers in addition to seriously pondering over the words in the poetry in the malodious voice of Maria Ali of Ghulkin, Hunza.

Acknowledgement
My special gratitude to Ms. Maria Ali of Ghulkin for melodiously singing the lyrics despite the fact she had got throat issue due to the tonsils.My ever thanks to Naveed Karim, a Biomedical Engineer in the Aga Khan University Hospital (AKUH) for his overall support and felicitation, especially in editing of the videos wherever necessary before publishing them on the EaglesWorld. I owe my sincere indebtedness to my family members, especially my brother Ghulam Amin Beg and family, for the sustained support that has enabled me to contribute productively despite the fact I’ve been going through various tides of life difficulties in the society and denial of my employment for being a visually disabled as a punishment. Similarly, I’ grateful to all my friends and well-wishers for their kind appreciation as well as support and facilitation in different forms.
