Pashto is a rich language with a long and vibrant literary tradition. Pashto poetry has traditionally been used to reflect on the social and political realities of the time. This study examines the thematic changes in Pashto poetry in the context of the War on Terror. The study focuses on the work of two well-known contemporary Pashto poets, Dr. Abaseen Yousafzai and Rehmat Shah Sail. The study finds that the themes of Pashto poetry have changed significantly since 9/11. The poets now focus more on themes of peace and reconciliation, and less on themes of war and violence. The study concludes that Pashto poetry can play an important role in promoting peace and understanding in the region.
