Pir Roshan

Ormur Pashtun Sufi poet

Bāyazīd Khān Ansārī (Pashto: بایزید خان انصاري; c. 1525 – 1572-1578), commonly known as Pīr Rōshān or Pīr Rōkhān, was an Ormur warrior, Sufi Pir and revolutionary leader. He is best known for founding the Roshani movement, which gained many followers in present-day Afghanistan and Pakistan, and produced a number of Pashto poets and writers. Pir Roshan wrote Khayr al-Bayān, one of the earliest known books containing Pashto prose, and also created the Pashto alphabet, derived from the Arabic script with 13 new letters.
