Ghani khan(1914-1996) is widely considered as one of the best Pashto language poets of the 20th century , along with Ameer Hamza Shinwari.He stands on a par with Khushal Khan Khattak and Rahman Baba.He was also a respected writer and artist NWFP Pakistan. He was son of Khan Abdul Ghaffar Khan great leader of Pakistani Pashtuns and older brother of Khan Abdul Wali Khan. Khan Abdul Ghani Khan was born in Utmanzai Charsada , NWFP Pakistan was part of British India, the son of the Red-Shirt Leader Khan Abdul Ghaffar Khan Leader of all Pashtun and Great Politician of Pakistan, and older brother of Khan Abdul Wali Khan. He went to study at the art academy at Rabindranath Tagores university in Shantiniketan and developed a liking for painting and sculpture. He visited England and studied sugar technology in the United States, after which he returned to India and started working at the Takht Bhai Sugar Mills in 1933.Largely owing to his fathers influence, he was also involved in politics, supporting the cause of the Pashtuns of British India. For his contributions to Pashto literature and painting, the President of Pakistan,General Muhammad Zia-ul-Haq, conferred on him the prestigious award of Sitara-e-Imtiaz (23 March 1980). Aside from a few poems of his youth and early manhood, Ghani Khans poetry,like his temperament, is anti-political. His poem collections include Panoos, Palwashay, De Panjray Chaghar, Kullryat and Latoon. He also wrote in English; his first book was The Pathans (1947). His Book published in Urdu titled "Khan Sahib" (1994). The singular distinction of his poetry aside from his obvious poetic genius is a profound blend of knowledge about his native and foreign cultures, and the psychological, sensual, and religious aspects of life. "As a progressive and intellectual writer, he wrote, "I want to see my people educated and enlightened. A people with a vision and a strong sense of justice, who can carve out a future for themselves in harmony with nature." Ghani khan was a great man a great pashtun and a Great Pakistani. He was a Hero of Pakistan. and all Pakistanis proud on him. After his death, in recognition of his outstanding achievements, the Government of the NWFP Province built a public library and park as a memorial to him on about 8 acres (32,000 m2) of land, naming it "Ghani Derai" (the mound of Ghani). The site is an historical mound very near his home, Dar- ul-Aman, and within the confines of his ancestral village, Utmanzai, on the main highway from Razzar to Takht-i-Bhai. pray for him.
