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
