"She doesn't do good things." "She's a flirtatious girl." "She brought shame to the Herati people." "She deserves to be killed." "Do you think going back to Herat is dangerous for you?"

"We don't care if it's Tolo or whatever." "The Islamic Council is laying this rule." "It is our duty to preach sharia law." "If they accept it, it's okay for us." "But if they do not act upon it, at least we've done our duty." "They are a group of scholars from the Islamic Council." "who have a strong opinion against us." "They say that a few of the programs we have aired and Afghan Star was especially named that these programs are misleading the people." "...and are against sharia law." ""You are inviting people to take part in it." "It corrupts their minds." "It is not Islamic!"" "I don't think we are doing anything wrong." "In Afghanistan there is music in the past music in the present and music in the future." "Thank you so much for supporting me." "Her courage and confidence is the most important thing."

"If Setara comes back to Herat as you know, it's not safe here in Herat." "Maybe she'll get stopped on the way from the airport." "Or maybe she'll get shot by someone with a gun." "Or stabbed by someone with a knife." "It's not safe in Herat now." "Leaving the house will not be safe for her." "We are not happy with her coming here." "I think Setara should stay in Kabul."

"...and we love him because of this." "Ask me a question." "Shut up, you lot!" "We love both of them." "One brother, one heart, one mind." "I vote for Hameed Sakhizada!" "If I vote for both of them, it's a waste." "If I vote for one, the other is upset." "Please give one to me!" "As you can see, these small children are fans of Rafi." "We support Rafi." "Rafi Naabzada." "Even the sheep have got stomach ache because of Rafi." "Rafi's got them in trouble." "Don't do that." "Take the sheep home." "You have to do my makeup better than Hameed's." "That was my plan, to make you better than him." "I have no idea who will win." "The decision belongs to the people." "If you win, would you become a politician?" "I do have an interest in politics but I'm afraid politics can get you killed." "I would like my music." "...to be my politics." "This is what I'm good at." "Rafi, if you want to sing traditional Hazara songs you have to study the classical style for 10 years." "It's not easy." "That's just lion's pussy!" "People just want a good voice." "Oh, really?" "What voice are you talking about?" "You don't have a voice, but you have beauty." "The Taliban would shoot you for wearing that." "Everyone is waiting to see who will win." "Young, poor, farmer, politician, minister..." "Everybody is waiting for that." "I'm trying not to wear the veil." "But when we sing the national anthem, we must wear it." "But most of the time, I will try not to." "You all look amazing, but where are your head scarves?" "No veil!" "No burka!" "Welcome to the stage..." "Daoud Sediqi." "Who do you think will be the Afghan Star?" "No, we're not going to announce it yet." "First, Hameed Sakhizada will sing for you." "If you are from Bamyan or Kandahar." "We are one brother." "We are all one brother." "If you are from Kabul, Balkh or Takhar." "We are one brother." "We are all one brother." "If you are from Wardak, Nimroz, Oruzgan." "Qalalot and Kunerhar." "We are all one brother." "We are all one brother." "We are all one brother." "Thank you, Hameed Sakhizada." "A round of applause for Hameed Sakhizada." "Okay." "Now Rafi will sing for this final show." "May the length of my existence." "Be as short as her faithfulness." "My glass of wine is now empty." "It will break by the weight of this life." "My glass of wine is now empty." "It will break by the weight of this life." "It will break by the weight of this life." "It will break by the weight of this life." "Now we will announce the Afghan Star." "Thank you very much, everyone." "You're welcome." "Should we announce the result?" "Who is the Afghan Star?" "Rafi!" "Hameed!" "So let's find out who has won." "These two artists both have beautiful voices but the person who the people have voted for the person who's won the title is..." "Rafi, dear." "Afghan Star." "Long live Afghanistan!"
