Abstract
Kushal Khan Khattak is a multidimensional personality of our history. He
was not mere a poet or writer but also a national leader and reformer, who
played his vital role against the Mughal colonialists. In this regard, he spent
some of his life in imprisonment of Mughals. Firaq Nama is one of his
major literary works which was written in Ranthambore when he was
imprisoned there, and its manuscript was published in 1983, with a preface
and introduction written by Hamish Khalil. His such work contains poetry,
where his multidimensional personality directly reflects on it. Though it
seems that Khushal was feeling nostalgic there, because he missed his
homeland, his family and relatives, and his freedom. Such nostalgia
provides strong basis for Firaq Nama’s theme. In this paper we will
elaborate Firaq-Nama according to such circumstances, where we will see
both; that how ‘a man of a will’ can find himself in different stages of life,
and also that what are its implications on Pashto literature
