Remembering Ikramullah Gran: A Legendary Voice in Pashto Literature Ikramullah Gran Bacha, affectionately known as Gran Baba, was a revered figure in Pashto literature.

Zama Ghazal This was the only book published during his lifetime and remains a celebrated collection of his ghazals. “Zama Ghazal” captures the lyrical beauty and emotional depth of Gran's poetic voice. 2. Jwand da Khayal pa Aayeena ke (Life in the Mirror of Thought) Published posthumously, this book is a reflective compilation that delves into life’s philosophical dimensions, showcasing Gran’s maturity as a thinker and writer. 3. Spogmai (The Moonlight) Also released after his death, “Spogmai” is another gem that encapsulates his poetic essence, adding to the legacy of a man whose words continue to shine like moonlight. A Lasting Legacy Ikramullah Gran passed away on 11 December 2014 at the age of 73, leaving behind three children and a nation mourning the loss of a literary icon.

Even after his passing, his poetry remains alive in the hearts of those who love Pashto literature. His words continue to echo through generations, serving as a source of inspiration for emerging poets and writers. Conclusion Ikramullah Gran's contribution to Pashto literature is timeless.
