Abdulqahar Aasi: The Poet of Sorrows and Sorrowful Cries

Abdulqahar Aasi is a poet of the new generation in Afghanistan. He is known for his poignant poetry, firm stance, and openly expressing himself. Consequently, he has often been involved with the issues of Afghanistan, rarely passing by silently amidst events in his country. Due to this spirit, Aasi wrote poems opposing the Communist regime's rule in Afghanistan, sometimes veiled and sometimes poetically direct. During the years of the Communist regime, he consistently protested and strived to depict the unresolved problems and sufferings of his people, reflecting his interpretations of the actions and behaviors of the rulers and his country through many words and expressions. The poet's life was marked by various hardships and difficulties in his country. On the one hand, the colonization by Soviet forces, and on the other, poverty and people's migration compelled him to compose socially-oriented poems. The aim of this research, conducted through a descriptive-analytical method and utilizing library sources, is to identify and demonstrate the intellectual and philosophical prominences of Abdulqahar Aasi based on his sorrows and emotions towards his country and its people. His perspectives on displacement, problems, xenophobia, patriotism, and treachery have been examined.
