A brief review of the Jurisprudence services of Pashtun poets

Abstract

The history of Pashto literature spreads over five thousand years having its roots in the oral tradition of tapa. However, the first recorded period begins in 7th century with Amir Karor Suri (a warrior poet). Later, Pir Roshan, (1526–1574). Among his disciples are some of the most distinguished poets, writers, scholars and sufis, like Arzani, Mukhlis, Mirza Khan Ansari, Daulat and Wasil, whose poetic works are well preserved. Akhund Darweza (1533–1615), a popular religious leader and scholar gave a powerful counterblast to Bayazid’s movement in the shape of Makhzanul Islam. He and his disciples have enriched the Pashto language and literature by writing several books of prose. The second period is perhaps the most prolific and glorious one. Khushal Khan Khattak (1613-89), father of Pashto, is the central figure of this period. The fourth period begins with the dawn of the twentieth century. The Khilafat and Hijrat Movements gave rise to a type of poetry that called out to soldiers of freedom. This article presents Jurisprudence services of Pashtun poets
