AFGHAN POET, SCHOLAR, DIPLOMAT AND STATESMAN (1919-1995)
We are an independent, private nonprofit and educational foundation. Overall objectives include building a mausoleum and welcome center next to Pazhwak's graveside, organize and publish Pazhwak's writings in multiple languages, holding poetry reading and book launching events aimed at promoting education and creativity with a focus on Afghan culture and literature.
Pazhwak's poems and prose reflect Afghan mores, struggles and aspirations of his lifetime. His writings and ideas offer a window into Afghanistan's culture, literature and history. He shows unflinching courage and passion in challenging the status quo and fighting for liberty, progress and prosperity for the Afghan people and the world. He brought bold thinking and harnessed the power of his pen and ideas to enrich the world during his productive lifetime (1919-1995).
See a list of Pazhwak's published works under books. One may download PDF copies to read or use for academic purposes. In addition to making Ustad Pazhwak's writings available in Pashto and Dari, we plan to translate his writings into other languages, particularly English. You have the option to make a small donation, if you wish (See the Support button). Please ensure full transparency if you do. Many thanks in advance.
Tons of Pazhwak's writings consisting of poetry, prose, statements, interviews and articles remain unpublished. We welcome the collaboration by making transcripts available to graduate students, centers and scholars for research, analysis and publication. Ultimately, Pazhwak life and legacy belong to the Afghan people and the universal ideals of faith, liberty, knowledge, family and common good.
