Torkham (Pashto: تورخم Tūrkham) is one of the major border crossings between Afghanistan and Pakistan, located on the Durand Line border. It connects Nangarhar province of Afghanistan with Pakistan's Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. It is the busiest port of entry between the two countries, serving as a major transporting, shipping, and receiving site.
Highway 7 connects Torkham to Kabul through Jalalabad. On the Pakistani side, the border crossing is at the end of the N-5 National Highway, which connects it to Peshawar in the east and further connects it to Islamabad by other routes.
The Afghan Border Police and Pakistan's Frontier Corps are the main agencies for controlling Torkham. They are backed by the Pakistani and Afghan Armed Forces. There is also some presence of NATO forces on the Afghan side of the crossing, mainly personnel of the U.S. Armed Forces. The American Forward Operating Base Torkham (FOB Torkham) is located a few miles from the crossing in Nangarhar province. Torkham belongs to the Momand Dara district of Nangarhar.

É doce morrer no mar,
Nas ondas verdes do mar
É doce morrer no mar,
Nas ondas verdes do mar
A noite que ele não veio foi,
Foi de tristeza pra mim
Saveiro voltou sozinho, triste noite foi pra mim
É doce morrer no mar,
Nas ondas verdes do mar
É doce morrer no mar,
Nas ondas verdes do mar
Saveiro partiu de noite, foi
Madrugada não voltou
O marinheiro bonito, sereia do mar levou.
É doce morrer no mar,
Nas ondas verdes do mar
É doce morrer no mar,
Nas ondas verdes do mar
Nas ondas verdes do mar, meu bem
Ele se foi afogar
Fez sua cama de noivo, no colo de Iemanjá
É doce morrer no mar,
Nas ondas verdes do mar
É doce morrer no mar,
Nas ondas verdes do mar
