Here is a lovely Pashto song from Afghanistan, Dokhtare Bagh, “I Am A Daughter of the Garden,” and here is a performance of Dokhtare Kuchi.  I was first introduced to Afghan music through this album about six years ago, which also briefly inspired an interest in the Dari language.  The obvious Indo-European connection with the word dokhtar is clear.  Here is a more modern version of Zim Zim Zim, .  This is a performance of Molla Mamadjan.
