Abstract

Dr. Raj Wali Shah Khattak is a well-known and reputable figure of Pashto Literature. Being Director of Pashto Acedmy, he has written many books and articles in the field of research and has published them time to time. “Adabi Tehrikona”, “Da Rahman Baba Pa Sher”, “Ghani Khan da rang aw nor shair”, etc are among his published research efforts. Dr Raj Wali Shah Khattak was a poet as well and has published his poetry collection in 2012 under the title of (Sangzaar). In this book he has given vent to his emotions and feelings through many famous mediums of Pashto Literature. The distinctive feature of this book is that Dr. Raj Wali Shah Khattak has carried out multiple experiments in the genre of poem. In the light of those experiments he has made valuable and knowledgeable contributions towards the formation of new types and kinds in the genre. For example he has concluded free verse poems (Azad Nazam) with the common Pashto Lok couplet (Tappa). These kinds of experiments are new to Pashto Literature and therefore the origin of these achievements is none other Dr. Raj Wali Shah Khattak. How well are these new experiments carried out in the genre of Poem? How far had he been successful in carrying out those experiments are the main objectives of my research.
