د خوشحال په کلام کښې ځينې وران کړي شوي نومونه
Abstract
In the poetry of Khushal khan khattak certain people have been mentioned by
names other than their real names. These names have been twisted, reduced and
shortened or completely changed. The names that have been twisted and distorted are
usually the names of those persons whom Khushal Baba disliked for some reasons, and
that is why he has satirized them in his poetry. Similarly the names that have been
reduced are mostly those names which Khushal Baba could not use in their full form
in his poetry because of the rules and requirements of metrical composition. The third
type of names is the ones which Khushal Baba has completely changed and modified.
These are usually the names of his off springs, and he named his progeny as such out
of excessive emotional attachment. These names make Khushal Baba’s poetry vague
and obscure. This paper, therefore, aims at explaining and clarifying the names given
to different people in his poetry by tracing their origin and background.
