The Poetry of Ahmed Shah Abdali and His Literary Style

Abstract

Ahmad Shah Abdali was not only a political person who conquered countries and ran his government on a large land in the region bordering India; But besides the sword and politics, he was also a great poet and a writer with a powerful pen, who wrote fluent poems in Pashto and Persian languages ​​and was not a poet of poetry. He is called a famous poet of the classical period. In this article, I have researched the style of Abdali's poetry and explored and investigated various aspects of his poetic style. My research is bibliographic and analytical, and for research, I have researched Ahmad Shah Abdali's Divan of Pashto poems as well as his Persian poems and compared his style with other styles of Pashto poetry according to other books on literature and style. I have come to the conclusion that he is a poet with a unique style in Pashto poetry. All researchers of Pashto classical literature, teachers and students of Pashto literature and lovers of Pashto poetry and literature can benefit from this research.
