Abstract

Pashto literature encompasses a diverse array of themes, reflecting various facets of life. Among these themes, natural calamities such as rains and floods feature prominently. When water surpasses its usual volume, it transforms into a flood, often resulting in widespread devastation. Floods have occurred at different times in Pakhtunkhwa, causing significant human and financial losses. These tragic events have found expression in the works of poets, adding to the richness of Pashto literature. This research paper investigates the poetry dedicated to the subject of floods within Pashto literature.
