by Dawar Khan Daud and Salma Shaheen
Abstract:
It is sad to say that the southern districts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa have largely been ignored by our Pashto critics and historians. Doubtlessly, these districts are also well known for their renowned and reputed poets, writers and scholars as the other districts of our Province. These writers have contributed a lot to Pashto literature in various genres in the classical as well as in the modern. Qambar Ali Khan Orakzai is a prominent versifier of the southern districts belonging to the twelfth century Hijra. Being a classical poet he is impressed by Rehman Baba's mysticism and Abdul Hameed Momand, the hair splitter (mooshgaf). Verily, Qambar Ali Khan has three collection of verses to his credit consisting of elegy and lyric, inherited from his predecessors. This article highlights the above two genres of Qambar Ali Khan's poetry to a great extent along with his specific ideological perceptions.
