Abstract
Khushal Khan Khattak was a prominent and versatile
Pukhtun poet and prose writer. He was also a swordsman and
being very loyal to the Mughals, he served them with full
dedication like his ancestors against his fellow Yusufzai and
Mandarn (commonly referred to as Yusufzai) Pukhtuns for a
long time before he turned against the Mughals.
