He is the most lovely man, it is not my observation, but the observation of a majority of Pashto language writers. There is no doubt in is sincerity and love for the people of literature and art. Though he resided in America and the visitor of most countries in the world, but nowadays he resides in Quetta city in his most beautiful house like paradise. Though at present he is a giant of Pashto literature, but is a very simple man with beautiful civilized manners. He is habitual to arrange dinner parties for the literary people and in this way I visited his house many times. His gorgeous and charming house is divided into two parts, one for his residence and the other for his guests. The second part of his guests is also divided into two parts. In first part you\u2019d see a beautiful mountain with fountains and a huge lawn with beautiful flowers and the second part is, an orchard, where you will see the each kind of fruit trees. Here we will observe his conventional Pashtun drying room. The literary people call him Mulla Jan meaning by a most educated and visionary person. He has the publications of his poetry too. His poetry has two qualities, his own diction of beautiful words and the powerful imagination like Keats, Shelly, Lord Byron and Khalil Gibran. If you want to enjoy his poetry, I think the best suitable time is the midnight because it is very rhythmic and magical and makes a reader mad and most imaginative. It is the other quality of his poetry that its spirit is not old and conventional but very modern. In his each and every verse, we can find a very novel and fresh idea. We can say that he\u2019s the most imaginative modern classic poet of Pashto poetry. It is the quality of a writer that his readers should be thirsty for his new works, so we can find this quality in the verse of Mulla Jan as well. I\u2019m also the common fan of this literary giant. In short, we can say him the most famed and prominent modern romantic poet of Pashto language I translated his few little poems into English, which I represent now before you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Arial;\">Do not spoil<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Arial;\">O my sincere friends<br \/>\nDon&#8217;t spoil my martyrdom<br \/>\nThough<br \/>\nYou are my companion of sinking boat<br \/>\nBut<br \/>\nLeave me for drowning<br \/>\n=======<br \/>\nNo purchaser<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Arial;\">I am holding my heart<br \/>\nIn my hands<br \/>\nShouting to purchase it<br \/>\nBut<br \/>\nThere is no street of lovers<br \/>\nIn the whole land<br \/>\n=======<br \/>\nThe disturbance<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Arial;\">O life<br \/>\nMy Innocent love is weeping<br \/>\nNow<br \/>\nIt was sleeping<br \/>\nIn the depth of my eyes<br \/>\nBut<br \/>\nYour ugly noise<br \/>\nDisturbed<br \/>\nIts lovely dreams<br \/>\n========<br \/>\nTwo sentences<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Arial;\">O my lovely friends<br \/>\nPlease mention<br \/>\nOne of two sentences<br \/>\nAt my grave stone<br \/>\nMartyred by proud beauty<br \/>\nOr<br \/>\nThe victim of love<br \/>\n==========<br \/>\nA passage towards mountains<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Arial;\">It is the power of wine<br \/>\nOr<br \/>\nThe art of bar man<br \/>\nThe users move towards mountains<br \/>\nThe earth is intolerable for them<br \/>\n==========<br \/>\nThe season<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Arial;\">In the hell of separation<br \/>\nI still remembered you<br \/>\nO my unfaithful love<br \/>\nIn true sense<br \/>\nIt is the season of disloyalty<br \/>\n=======<br \/>\nThe esteemed one<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Arial;\">O holy madness<br \/>\nBe careful<br \/>\nAnd control yourself<br \/>\nSecrecy is better for affection<br \/>\nIt is a love of respected rural girl\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By: Farooq Sarwar Abdul Hadi Attahi Mulla is the well-known poet of Pashto language.
