Da Pukhtano Qami Sangar Connecting Pakhtuns








Hamza Shinwari [1907-1994] was born with poetry, sentiment, morality and religion. Hamza’s experiences in Pashto poetry are guidelines for young generation, especially for the poets, who have both talent and energy to express themselves in verse. No doubt, he achieved perfection in Pashto Ghazal, but it does not mean that creative journey of Pakhtoon poets ended with him; rather he opened new vista for them. Baba says in one of his couplets:
Tr.: “Many colourful flowers are bloomed at the moor of Pashto language;
It is, now time, for opening our eyes”.

Hamza’s poetry is radiant with two predominant elements. Mysticism and Pakhtoonwali (Pakhtoon code of conduct).
One young critic, criticised Baba for being a staunch Pakhtoon mystic because mysticism does not recognise any ethnic, linguistic or racial boundaries, according to him, Baba limited the scope of mysticism by declaring himself a Pakhtoon mystic, in one place Baba says,
Tr: “O, Lord, I beg of you!
To provide me the wine of ‘Yasrab’ in a cup of Afghan.”

I do not think he did so, Baba, instead of limiting the scope of mysticism, Baba widened the horizons of Pakhtoonwali, he gave Pakhtoons, an identity that is unbiased, unagitated and dignified.

"اى زما وطنه د لعلونو خزانې زما"

ليک: مدثرشاه
پښتونخوا کې نورې ستونزې لږې وې چې ځينو ګوندونو او اشخاصو لکه جماعت اسلامي ا و جمعيت علماء اسلام د باچاخان تعليمي څانګې د سيوري لاندې چليدونکو سکولونو باندې تورونه لګول پيل کړل چې دغه سکولونو کې د قامى ترانې په ځائې د غني بابا ليکل شوې ترانه "اى زما وطنه د لعلونو خزانې زما" وئيل کيږي، د دوي دريځ دا دى چې دا يو غير ائيني کار دى. کۀ وکتل شي نو ايا رښتيا دا يوه داسې ستونزه ده چې ورځپاڼو کښې پرې قهرژن بيانونه جاري شي؟. او کۀ نۀ دلته نورې هم داسې ستونزې شته چې پښتانۀ ورسره مخ دي او په دې طمعه دي چې ملت پال، جمهوريت خوښه او مذهبي ګوندونه به ئې په شريکه هوارى ولټوي. لکه پښتنه سيمه کښې ورځ تر ورځه زياتيدونکې انتهاخوښي، فوځي عمليات او نتيجه کښې ئې مرګ ژوبلې، ځانمرګي بريدونه، بې روزګاري، ګراني، چاودنې، او داسې نورې، داسې ښکاري چې د پښتنو په سيمه څوک هم د امن او ورورولۍ خبره کوي په شعوري يا غير شعوري توګه د دوي د غږ بندولو هڅه روانه ده او داسې معاملات منځ ته راوباسي چې اولس د حقيقي صورتحال نه ناخبره پاتې شي.

The second big game & Pashtoons

Prof. (Dr) Khurshid Alam

No one can understand if the electronic media can interview them, why can't Pakistan army reach them.

Pashtoons are occupying such a place on the globe that it carries an extremely important strategic position. If it is a gateway to Indian subcontinent it is also a gangway to central Asian untapped resources. On the other side it is on the neck of Middle Eastern region.

Right from Alexander the great, this land has invited so many imperialists and conquerors. Once an empire itself, with no fixed boundaries, it now has been scattered into pieces.

firework at peshawa on third inter provincial games

Tauseef-ur-Rahman

Though followed by the gory incident of suicide blast, the NWFP government deserves the credit to have successfully arranged national level games in the provincial metropolis despite a continuing wave of terror across the country.

The provincial government has to its credit the success of the event as it was inaugurated by the chief minister and formally closed by the governor, both high-profile targets for the terrorists, showing the confidence and commitment of the government that it could hold such a big show despite odds and threats.
