سوئ باغ تالا ګلشن دې,
مړاوې ګل خاورې چمن دې,
نه بلبل نه لولکې شته,
نه نرګس نه ياسمن د,
دا ګلاب دې ايرې شوئ,
که په اور سوې خو تن دې,
ده دې باغ خاورې راواخله,
ترېنه نوې بوستان جوړ کړا,
اې پښتونه ستا وطن دې.
Burnt garden and plundered flowerbeds,
Withered flowers and brown lawns,
No songbirds or butterflies,
No daffodils or jasmines,
Is this an ashen rose,
Or a fire burnt body,
Gather the soil of this garden,
Make a new flower garden of it,
Oh Pukhtun, this is your land.

Tal ba pa laar da merhano sara zam,
Yama pukhtoon da pukhtano sara zam.
Forever I shall go with the valiant
For I am a Pukhtun and with Pakhtuns I go.

Chapli kabab is a specialty of Pukhtun Cuisine, the food of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, a province of Pakistan. These chapli kebabs are also called Peshawari kabab named after Peshawar, the capital city in the same province.
The word chapli is derived from chaprikh which means 'to flatten' in the Pashto language. The kebabs are round and flattened minced meat cutlets with coarsely grounded spices and chopped tomatoes. They have also spelled chapli kabab or Chapli kebab. These kababs are widely sold in neighboring Afghanistan and are hence also called Afghan chapli kabab.

Remembering Hamza Baba
Amir Hamza Shinwari, or Hamza Baba as he is known, was born in December 1907, in the house of Malik Baz Mir Khan — the chief of the Ashraf Khel tribe of Shinwari Pashtuns.
During his early days, Hamza worked in the railways and even travelled to Mumbai to try his luck in the Bollywood film industry.
He started writing poetry in Urdu when he was only in grade five. But his spiritual guide, Syed Abdul Sattar Shah Baacha, asked him to switch to his mother tongue — Pashto.
Baba may not have been a first-rate Urdu poet, but once he started composing verses in Pashto, he perfected Pashto ghazal to the extent that Pashtun critics conferred on him the title, Baba-e-Pashto ghazal (the father of Pashto ghazal).
Refering to his title, Hamza Baba says:
[Sta pa anango ki da Hamza da wino sra di,
Ta shwe da pukhto ghazala zwan za di Baba kram!]
The crimson of color in your cheeks,
Is the color of the blood of Hamza.
You came of age, Pashto Ghazal,
But turned me into a baba (an old man)
Hamza Baba amalgamated the chivalric spirit of Khushhal Khan Khattak, the humility of Rahman Baba and the refined romanticism of Abdul Hameed Baba into Pashto verse due to which Pashto ghazal poetry attained new heights.
Hamza Baba also heralded a new era in Pashto prose and fiction. Being a prolific writer, Baba contributed to almost every literary genre in Pashto — short story, novel, drama, literary criticism, satirical essays, pen-portraits and free verse.
He, in fact, Pashtunised Pashto ghazal and nazm, consciously presenting a soft image of the Pashtun nation and keeping the Sufi trend of Rahman Baba alive with a new vision and approach.
Baba considered Islam and Pakhtunwali as flip sides of a coin and negated aggressive nationalism in his writings. He wanted Pukhtuns to maintain their true identity and uphold high social and moral values to safeguard humanity against all kinds of prejudices.
Hamza Shinwari Baba was, undoubtedly, a flowering spring of extraordinary genius, and has become an icon of universal admiration beyond the barriers of cast, language, color, or creed.
Dr. Qabel Khan comments that Hamza Baba "is a virtual stream of friends of friends, disciples, admirers, and well-wishers. Hardly there was any day in his life he was not visited by his admirers and readers…his knowledge of Pashto is simply encyclopedic."

So if I'm correct, pashtun and pukhtun are okay to use, but pathan is not right?
You can use any term but some people get offended if you call them pathan. The correct one pashtun/pakhtun
