Although currently a student, the work of Farahmand are currently well known around the world for their heart wrenching imagery. An example of such work is called Afghan Burns, The World Rejoices:
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
The streets are lined with blood,
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
The dust is coloured red,
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
The Orphan lies abandoned,
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Without food, water, or bed,
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
The once enchanting city,
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Is now the capitol of fear,
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
The world has shut it's heart,
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Pretending not to hear,
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
The once green hills and valleys,
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Are now pits of graves,
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
The once safe home to run to,
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Is now a killer blade,
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
The once heard noise of laughter,
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Is now the wail of grief,
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
The lives of many children,
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Are wretched and very brief,
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
With every drop of laughter,
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
The birds they used to sing,
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Now with every drop of blood,
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
The trees and mountains ring,
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
The morning call to prayer,
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Is shattered by the sounds,
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Of early morning fighting,
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Upon civilian grounds
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
The martyrs are gone,
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Now the Muslims fight each other,
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Where is the Muslim Ummah,
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
To care for one another.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
You can call yourself a scholar,
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
You can say you are a king,
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
But when your fellow humans die,
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
You hide and do nothing,
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
You can sit and say it's sad,
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
But it will never be good,
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
The troubled lives of those people,
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Will never be understood,
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
And all the time the world,
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Thinks it fun to sit and see,
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
All the poor, and dying Afghans,
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Crying in their plea,
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
And it seems that as their blood,
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Drips uncontrolled,
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
The story of he truth,
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Will never be told,
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Now the whole world is its enemy,
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
No one wants to strive,
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
While the world is merrymaking,
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Afghanistan is burned alive.
