Khatir Afridi, probably in his mid-twenties.

Khatir Afridi was born as Misree Khan in 1929, at Landi Kotal, Pakistan, and died in 1961. Misree Khan was born to Afridi parents of the Zakka Khel clan. He was a prominent poet of the Pashto language but died at a young age. He left behind a son, who has compiled all of his father's work into a volume.


One of his poems is:

khe shola deera chi inkar de o kro

zama da wara umar kar de o kro

halak chi naha ooli gori warta

ta chi makh pet kro no gozar de o kro

ze la se ne wayem chi dagh day pa zre

te la peghor kri chi deedar de o kro

zama da zre daghona hala shmara

ke da de hpeli khanda shmar de o kro

khatira ze da ta na cha ori yrm

war ba de rashi kho ke war de o kro.
