The Gandhara Hindko Board arranged a function at the Gandhara Hindko Academy to mark the 81st death anniversary of the great Hindko language mystic poet, Sain Ahmad Ali. Iqbal Sikandar, a known writer, an expert on the mystic poetry and former director general of the Press Information Department, was the chief guest on the occasion. A social figure, Muhammad Rafee, presided over the function arranged at the Sain Ahmad Ali Hall of the academy.
Some among those present were a noted Hindko language writer, poet and research scholar, Muhammad Ziauddin, columnist and business community representative, Ziaul Haq Sarhadi, broadcaster Ahmad Nadeem Awan, Muhammad Nasir Hussain, and Sikandar Hayat Sikandar.
The speakers shed light on the life and work of Sain Ahmad Ali who was born in the walled city of Peshawar in 1842 AD and died in 1937AD. His final resting place is outside Kohati Gate. Muhammad Ziauddin said Sain Ahmad Ali enjoyed a high standing in the Sufi poets. He said the mystic poetry of Sain Baba encompassed human values and all those who believed in humanity could benefit from his poetic verses.
Ziauddin, who is also Chief of Executive Committee of the Gandhara Hindko Academy and has authored a book on Sain Baba, said the poetry of the great Hindko language mystic remains relevant to all times due to the subjects it covered. The literates said most of the work of the classic Hindko language poets, including Sufis, reached us through the oral traditions.
