Poets were Humans,the are not praise worthy nor are they saints.

Exactly.

Haven't read a significant amount of his poetry; I find it hard to respect people who can't even respect themselves.

Frivolous poetry is not worth taking seriously. Fabricated tales with fancy words, serve no useful purpose.

''And the Poets― it is those straying in Evil, who follow them: Seest thou not that they wander distracted in every valley? And that they say what they practise not?'' [As-Shu'araa: 224-226]

However, poetry which deals with *suitable* subjects, containing wise, meaningful words, can be beneficial.

''Except those who believe, work righteousness, engage much in the remembrance of Allah, and defend themselves after they are unjustly attacked. And soon will the unjust assailants know what vicissitudes their affairs will take!'' [Ash-Shu`ara’: 227]

I wonder which category Ghani Khan's poetry falls under.

د سوچ خبره ده ګليه!!!!وروره۔۔۔
زه هم اشرف مفتون،غني خان، او هاشم بابر او داسې قسم نور ترقي پسند شاعرانو ته کله کله ګوته په غاښ شم چې دوئي په کومه کها ته کښې پريوځي؟؟
يا خو به مونږد قران احکامات نظر انداز کوو اويا به دوئي ته غوږ نيسو۔۔۔

زمونږ په وطنونو کښې اکثر خلک دا داسې بي شريعته او مجذوبو خلکو هم پيروي کوي څُوک چې لمنځونه او اسلامي احکامات او شرعي تقاضي نه پيژني او زمونږ ساده ګان خلک وائي چې دوئي خو مانځه له مکې شريفې ته ځي ، دوئي که په ظاهره مونځ نه هم کوي خير دے ځکه چې دا باطني پاک دي۔۔۔۔۔هاهاهاهاها

I'm not sure what the last part of your comment refers to, and I can't find any connection between it and Ghani or any convos held about Ghani, BUT I'm sure we'll agree that not all people define "self-respect" the same way. Ka sanga?

Frivolous poetry is not worth taking seriously. Fabricated tales with fancy words, serve no useful purpose.

I completely agree.

I also believe, though, that how you define "frivolous" might not be the same way as how I define it.

However, poetry which deals with *suitable* subjects, containing wise, meaningful words, can be beneficial.

''Except those who believe, work righteousness, engage much in the remembrance of Allah, and defend themselves after they are unjustly attacked. And soon will the unjust assailants know what vicissitudes their affairs will take!'' [Ash-Shu`ara’: 227]

Absolutely. But . . . who defines what "righteous" means? Who defines what "suitable" means? The Quran certainly doesn't; God certainly doesn't.

And would you also agree that all people have their own ways of "remembering God"?

I wonder which category Ghani Khan's poetry falls under.

The best thing is: You get to decide for yourself once you've read his poetry

@Feroz Afridi: Definitely gonna need assistance in understanding your post.

I meant with the alcohol abuse.

I completely agree.

To define righteous, I'd look in the dictionary.. and apply it to the teachings of Islam, or vice versa.

But indeed we have our different definitions and interpretations, and yes, ways of remembering God.

The best thing is: You get to decide for yourself once you've read his poetry

Yup, though the contents of his poems will also decide that.
