Marwato Kasruna

Abdul Rahim Majzoob Advocate

Prologue: Mir Sharaf Khan Wazir
Publishers: Pashto Academy

'Marwato Kasroona' provides insight into that phase in our history when most Pakhtoon tribes were at war with one another or amongst themselves. These war ballads detail the standoffs betwen Marwat's, Niazi's, Khattak's, Blich's, Gandapur's, and Wazir's and their inter-feuds. The accent of the poetry is predominantly Marwat but definitions, notes, & clarifications are outlined in foot notes. The book itself is out of print and is very difficult to find in any of the bookshops. Khyber.ORG managed to get a photo copy of this rare book and has put it online for your consumption. If time permits, descriptions & translations in English may be added in the future.
