REHMAN BABA SHRINE | THE SUFI POET | ANCIENT GRAVE YARD OF HAZAR KHWANI
JOY AFTER 60 is the name of my youtube channel.
Abdur Rahmān Momand (1632 – 1706) was a renowned Pashtun, Sufi Dervish and poet from Peshawar (present-day Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan) during the Mughal era. He, along with his contemporary Khushal Khan Khattak, is considered to be one of the most popular poets of the Pashto language. His poetry expresses the mystical side of Islam, in line with his Sufi-oriented nature.
After his demise, poets, musicians and singers flocked to his gravesite annually. This annual congregation attained a festive status over the years which has carried on as part of Peshawar's rich cultural tradition to this day.
