غزل Pashto poetry
by Nawab Dr Ashraf khan khattak
نواب ډاکټر اشرف خان خټک
Pakhtunkhwa Pakistan

دومره محبت کوه انسان سره
څومره محبت چې کوې ځان سره
Love the humen being as you love with yourself
ټول انسانان يو دي دغه سپين او تور
بغض حسد مه کوه چا ګران سره
All the human beings black and white are equal
so do not hate from any one and so dnot be jealous .
ته که ېی نواب نو هغه خان به يی
نواب دې جفا نه کوي بل خان سره
if your a Nawab , he may be as khan
so the Nawab should not degrade the khan
مه کوﺉ په تور او سپين کښې نور تفريق
تور انسان هم ګل دی د ډېر شان سره
Donot make the distinction between back and white or grey
as the black person is also as flower with dignity and prestige .
سام دی او حام دی که يافث هم دی
ټول خپله کښې روڼه دي ايمان سره
the sons of Prophet Nuh like Sam , ham and yafice
they are all brothers from which are our race so love every one .

غزل Pashto poetry
by Nawab Ashrafkhan Khattak Lachi Dr Nawab Ashraf Khan Khattak لشرف
څه عجيبه اوښکي دي پرې لوند لوند مې ګريوان يی تل
څاڅي د ليموں نه . اننکو باندې باران يی تل

دا خو په هجران کښې د جانان مينې غمجن کړمه
هڅې ګني نه جاړي که تر مې هم چشمان يی تل

ای دې جانان حسن ؛ نظر ماتې دۍ پکار دی نن
تا په سوب جمال ھم غواړيدلې په جهان يی تل

څومره جاړيدو جانان بخشش لره مونږ تاسو ته
تہ واۓ جھان تہ .؛ چی دا ځان يی نو جهان يی تل

ښکلي يو يوسف لره به څومره جاړيدو يعقوب
ولې به زه نه جاړم يتيم به مې چې ځان يی تل

هېره شوه د خلکو نه د زړهء مينه مقصد پوری
اوس هوس پرست خلکو په زړهء کښې هم هېجان يی تل

بيا به لاچي ګله په ادب کښې لکه نمر تمر شي
بيا به مې پېغام د غزلونو تر آسمان يی تل

ای د جانان مينی تا په سوب باندې ژوندون کوم
فکر به مې ځکه نور اعلی´ که . ګلستان يی تل

بيا به د اشرف خټک د مينې غزل رنګ راوړي
بيا به د فنا په شانې هر ليکوال حېران يی تل

پشتو زبان و ادب
Pashto language and Literature
By Nawab Ashraf Khan Khattak Lachi kohat
Pakistan
When we talk about the Pashto Language history , it is impossible to say how much the pashto is old . So uncertainly we can say the pashto language has found in written ship in Mekhi Alphabet than in kherwashti Alphabet after this it has been written in Latin , Brahmi, dewnagare and in.an usta Alphabets but when the pashtoon nation accepted islam they adopted to write in Arabic Alphabets along with some changing.
In the 937 Hijri to 982 hijri the great scholar Pier Rokhan has written first pashto prose book which has also quality of poetry . One an other book the journal of litersture also related to pier rokhan . Pier Rokhan also used in pashto Alphabet the Nor ڼ which has the combine voice noon ن and r ړ ـ .They used two Arabic Alphabets of Yi like ى
But 1990 the Pashto Academy arrange a conference in Baragali they take many steps but about the five yi steps were appreciated by the scholars. which are the following

ې ۔ٸ۔ ي۔ ۍ۔ ى/ ے

In pashto Alphabets the yi has five types
So these Alphabets easy the writing after understanding them .

١ ۔ ۔ ۔ ۔ ۔ي... Yayi Maroof ي ..معروف..
٢..مخصوص Yayi Makhsoos ې۔ ۔ ۔ ــ
٣ ۔ ۔ ۔ ۔ ۔ تانيث۔ Yayi taneece . ۍ۔ ۔ ۔ ۔ ۔ ۔ ۔ ٤ـYa yi Amer. . ٸ....... .
٥ ۔ ۔ ے ۔ ۔ ۔ Yayi Majhool مجهول. yi ۔
The sound of the first yi ي۔ ۔
is very clear so it is famouse yi ي۔ as we say
DA KHALK DE AU DAIR KHAH KHALAK DE
دا خلک دي او ډېر ښه خلک دي
It is uses in the following words like
SARE سړي۔ ۔ ۔
ZMARE زمري
MALKHE.ملخي
SEENI سيني
DERTAPPI درتپي
Or يا
MANALLE منلي
WATALLE. . وتلي
KHWARALLE. . خواړلي
LEKALLE. . . . ليکلي
BACHAHE باچاهي ـــ
As like this other words مني ـ وهي ـ کوي ـ راځي
In the plural words from yayi Majhool it is also used like
زمرے / زمرى۔ : ــ زمري Zmaree
سړے۔ / سړى :۔ سړي Saree
لرګے. / لرګى۔ :۔ ۔ لرګي Largee
زړګے / زړګى۔ :۔ ۔ زړګي Zargee
It is also used in the singular noun
Like Haghah da khrah Lakae newalle dah
هغه د خره لکۍ نيولي ده
Hagha taktedalle dah .
هغه تښتيدلي ده

Yayi Makhsoos ې
It is duffucult yi but when we understand the use of yi ې than nothing will be difficult.
The pashtoons use the sounds of yayi makhsoos ې also instead of yayi Maaroof and laying yi ے. پرته . which is slightly low sound
As there was no such Alphabet in Pashto . So the scholars decided the shape if this yi ې ـ
As we say
Sair سېر Gair ګېر Tair تېر hair هېر ـ dhair ډهېر
So their is very differance in the sounds of
سير ګير seer . geer
So it is the good decision .

Yayi Taneece ۍ
This yi is like the other yi but slightly it is change in last with small slash.or tail ۍ ـ
It is combine with the yi۔ ــ ى and ٸ
So it is used for famine تانيث
ـ۔ لاچۍ ــ۔ ۔ ۔ ۔ ۔ ـ ـ کراچۍـــ۔ جينۍ ــ څپلۍ ـ۔
As this line. . جينۍ په کور کښې کټوۍ پخوي
Genae poh kor k katwae pakhawe.

Yayi Amer ٸ۔
This. yi is used for order like
Come here . دلته راشٸ
Hurry up. . . . ... زر کوٸ
Who are you تاسو څوک يٸ
As other words like کوٸ ـ ريبٸ ـ خرٸ ـ کوٸ

Yayi Majhool ے
It is called laying yi or yayi Majhool ے
as their is stress before the sound
د هغه ے چې مخکښې ترې د پښتو مخصوص حرکت
zoorkay زورکے يى
Like. لکه
سړے . saray کرړے kerray . ګړے garay
Or
ليکلے خوړلے۔ څکلے منلے وتلے
The poets and scholare were not agree with this yi in Pashto Academy, University of Peshawar Baragali conference which was held in 1990 AD .
So they wrire ى for ے but they will not use under the yi two dots . so in KPk this yi ے
remain accordingly .
According to the scholars the pashto is the branch of A***n languages .The writing of pashto is the same as in Arabic , urdu, and Persian. The writings of this language stated from the right to left side .Pashto is the ancient language in the world which was recognized by the UNO also.
The total Alphabet of Pashto is forty four. All the Alphabet of Arabic also includes in Pashto alongwith the other Alphabet of persian language and some Alphabets made the scholars for Pashto also but I think that the big yi ے or laying yi پرتہ یی should not be leave as it is the part of Arabic Alphabets also
as a Muslim when we write any script of Arabic it will be impossible to write without this yi ے ...
The other four Alphabets of Pashto is different. The sounds of these Alphabets are the same which is in an Urdu language . These Alphabets are ڈ ٹ ڑ گ . The difference of these Alphabets are that the ط on the Alphabets was remove by the scholars and here they used the round shape point . As is following .
۔ ۔ ۔ ډ۔ ټ۔ ۔ ړ۔ ۔ ګ۔
It is permitted that those person which are facing problems in Pashto writing can write the urdu or persian Alphabets but the Pashto Alphabets are best . . . . . . ....Some other more four Alphabets are also present in Pashto Alphabets which are the following

ځ zeem or zay
څ saw or say
ږ gay
ښ ـ۔ Kheen
The first two Alphabets are use in speaking same but the remaing two are use in dufferent type like ږيره۔ gera used in yousafzai but in Qandahre it is speak zeera ژيره zeera . The kheen ښ is also use differen like pakhto پښتو
used in yousafzai but in Qandahare it is used پشتو . Although the pashto original word is Pashto not Pakhto . The inhabitants of the Bannu area say to k کښې۔ kshay کشې which create in writing problems . So it was decided that the kheen ښ will be written in of ش in k . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . the other combine Alphabet is noor ڼ which is the combine position noon ن۔ And. rat ړ۔ ـ ـ
As we say in Pashto .. Hagha konr di
هغه کوڼ دے
Or
Hagha kanre matawe
هغه کاڼي ماتوي ۔ ۔ ۔

Or
Wanna shanr krah
ونه شڼ کړه

There are two accent in Pashto
One is called yousafzai Lihja
And other is called Qandaharae Lihja .
Which i have already discussed above .
So the present writing of Pashto will be in Yousafzai language but only 10 percent people speak this accent . Although it is the best accent which the scholars accepted for colleges and schools .
At last i close my topic with the following Haikos and poem .

/ ټپهtapah لنډۍ
باران وريږي اى جانانه
د ژمي شپه به بارانه کښې تيراٶمه
It is raining on mountains
How.we will pass time
And winter night

جانانه راشه په خندا شه
زړهء ته مې راشه چې مٸين درباندې شمه
O my darling come with laughing
And come my heart
I will. be love you .

two things i prize
in all the world beside
in me mine eyes

ځان او په جهان
دي دوه څيزونه ښکلي

sweet smell of the rose
spreading in the morning

ښکلو وږمو د ګلاب
خيال مې کړو ساز

The good season

and good vision

ښکلې موسم
دو لوﺉ الله رحمت دی
ښکلې هم سوچ

Love is the power
in the worlds of matter
