A quiet moment at the shrine of the legendary 17th-century Sufi poet and mystic, Abdur Rahman Baba (1632–1706), located in the Hazar Khwani area of Peshawar.

​A revered figure of the Mughal era and a master of Pashto literature, his famous Dīwān (anthology) continues to resonate deeply as a voice of divine love, human equality, and peace. Generations of poets, musicians, and pilgrims have gathered at his resting place to celebrate his timeless legacy of harmony.

​"Though the wealthy drink water from a golden cup, I prefer this clay bowl of mine." — Rahman Baba
