Hamaseh Ishq (The Epic of Love) 1986 by Latif Ahmadi.
In Conversation with the director Engineer Latif Ahmadi, (who is also president of Afghan Film).
I wanted to make a film about Buzkashi, and wanted to capture the spirit of the game in North Afghanistan. I didnt know how to set it. I mentioned it to Abdullah Shadaan, who said he knew of a tale (true story) from the North.
This is the story of two proud and rival Buzkashi horsemen. (They are called Chapandas.) We filmed the entire film in Mazar-e-Sharif.

Your mother, my bravery (heroism) and you - for me was the gift of God. You mother, who was the purest woman left me for a better place (heaven) before my eyes. She left me forever in pain. Now in the world, there are two things left for me: my bravery and you. After my bravery (heroism), I mention your name. It is because before Him (God) I know no one else apart from your mother and you. There is only one wish I have and that is that this name should not end after me. Never lose bravery till the last drop of your blood. And there come a day when they will narrate stories about Maqsood, when they won't just be passed from heart to heart.

I swear, father, I swear on my mother, that this name will not come to an end. You console me, saying that I have become a chap andaz (sportsman for the Afghan national game, Buzkashi) but I shall never be able to reach your stature. You are like a mountain and your grip is like rock.

Mountains melt, rocks melt (become nothing) but I do not want to. I do not want to be melted (to be nothing). I do not want.
