Humanity in the Poems of Khushal Khan

Abstract

Humanism is a progressive trend in the thinking of mankind, which opposes oppression, racism, hatred, religious restrictions, and narrow views in expressing more love for the human being, and in choosing a happy life, the human being is based on this moral principle. It depends on human origin. Man is a member of human society, Aristotle called him a social animal, Gerstein called him a thinking animal, Socrates called him a self-aware animal, and Karl Marx called him a set of social conditions. Khushal Khan Khattak does not recognize humans on the basis of religion, color, smell, or nationality, nor does he give preference to them on this occasion. Rather, the humanist Khushal says that the best people in human society are those whose heartache is directed toward humanity. In the history of Pashto literature, Khushal Khan Khattak's multi-faceted and comprehensive personality is very worthy of consideration. He had exceptional effects, despite the fact that he lived before us in time and history, but his message is very important not only to the Eastern and Asian people but also to the current Western and European people.
