• Asses can't be tethered to heaven
  په جنت کښۍ خر تړلي نه شي
  Although there will be room to spare in heaven, it is for men only, not for asses.
   

• I shall then call my mother good when she has had a happy death-bed
  ادې به وروستو ايمانداره بولم که ئي ځنقدن په خير تير کړه
  During his last moments, the angels are supposed to show the dying man his "A'mal Na'ma" or "character book" after which he either dies peacefully or in terror. The meaning is, that until a man is put to test his character cannot be gauged.
   

• Even death is a covering for many
  مرګ هم د ډيرو پرده ده
   

• Paradise is a good place, but the getting there is by lacerating the heart
  جنت ښه ځائ دې، خو ورتلږ د زړه چاؤدل دي
  That is, there is no pleasure without a corresponding amount of pain, "No cross, No Crown"
   

• Death on a full belly is better than a life of hunger
  په ډک نس مرګ ښه دي، له هغه ژونده چه په لوږه سر وي
   

• My father died and his fever ended
  بابا مړ شو، تبه ئي پرې ورک شوه
  So our "Death settles all debts"
   

• Don't die till death comes to you
  په خوا له اجله مه مره
  So our "Never say Die"
   

• When he dies then only is a man lost (or beyond hope)
  ورک خو هغه شي چې مړ شي
  Corresponding to our "While there is life, there is hope"
   

• The earth says, "If you are not a criminal don't fear me"
  مزکه وائي که په تا کښۍ ګناه نه وي له ما مه ويريږه
  That is, a good man should not fear death, for it "hath nothing terrible in it but what life hath made it so"
   

• Priority is good in all things but death
  زاړي هر څه ښه دي، بې له مرګه
