a Sofi Poet in Pashtun society. Various scholars shed light on different aspects of his poetry in
general and analyzed his sofi thoughts in particular. Apart from the aforesaid poetical
dimensions, Rehman Bab’s poetry depicts political consciousness of his era along with
historical vision but the literatiare not more intended to explore his historical vision in their
research-oriented writings. In this article an effort has been made to explore Rehman Baba’s
political vision about the then historical events as portrayed in his poetry. A number of
specimens from his poetry are quoted with analytical approach to clarify these important angles
of Rehman Baba’s poetry in order to prove logically that he was not only a Sofi poet but was
more aware intellectual and vigilant individual in term of political and historical consciousness.
