So i found abandoned kitten, and she needs to eat (she is at the age where she  needs cat milk). 

Problem is that stores where i can get baby cat milk are closed for another 2 days.

All i can give her now is:

-cow milk but as i  know she get diarrhea and that not very good (it's pretty much like a poison)

- 2 years expired baby cat milk in powder (still sealedhttp://www.dubaipetfood.com/shop/royal-canin-babycat-182p.html

so should i tried second option? i mean it's powder and still sealed :/

and  i don't have goat milk at home

Try opening up the expired milk powder, see if it looks and smells okay. Two years past the expiration date is a long time, but maybe it's still good. Dry powder tends to last a really long time as long as it doesn't get damp at all.

If you don't think you can use that, maybe try the cows milk? It is harder to digest than kitten formula or goats milk, but I wouldn't go so far as to call it poison. There are recipes you can find online for making kitten formula with cow's milk and other ingredients you might have at home.

ETA: here's one, scroll down to "feeding instructions" http://www.homeatlastrescue.org/html/aboutcats/kittencare.html - if you don't have liquid vitamins you can skip them as this is only a temporary, emergency formula

Yes, if you can get goat milk its the best.  Fresh or bottled.

Otherwise try as said above: open the old milk powder.  It may still be OK,  Its not always it got bad after expiring time, often it is just the nutrishments contain which are not longer quaranted.

Good luck!
