Ghani
Khan is a well known Pashto poet and his philosophical poetry is liked
by many. Despite being controversial in places, its strength and force
is undisputed. Ghani speaks to God with frankness of a friend and asks
Him many questions time and again. Many a time, he appears frustrated by
the obvious social evils and wishes this world to be an ideal one where
love, peace, beauty and care prevail for everyone and we can rightly
call him GUtopian (Ghani Utopian)!
The poem I have chosen for translation and upload describes well his love for Him along with the confusions arising in every thinking mind using logic and reason to explain everything in life.

Sardar Ali Takar has been beautifully singing Ghani Khan's poetry and he
has done justice with this one too. Enjoy the poem by clicking the
