Khushal Khan Khatak Wife Letter To Khushal Khattak.

Khushal Khan Khatak Wife Letter To Khusha imprisoned In Bijapur India.

By Tufail On Twitter. @TufailA77

This poem was written by one of Khushāl’s wives, the mother of Ashraf Khan Hijri, himself a poet, who died in exile in Southern India (Bijāpur). It would almost appear to be a reply to the poem preceding, which was written by Khushāl, whilst in exile in India. 


The play on the words in these two last lines are nearly lost in translation; for instead of inserting her own name, the writer uses her husband’s, which signifies ‘HAPPY’. To have inserted her own name would’ve been considered indelicate.
