“Raoofi”
a Noble poet of the Poets
Khalilullah
Raoofi might be one of the noble poets who have joined with lately poets.
Raoofi’s association and relations are as following: as a family of poets, one
side he reaches to Khalida Froogh, his nephew and Nepton Raoofi another nephew;
on the other side, he relates to Farooq Raoofi who is the eldest brother of
poet and so on… The purpose of this introduction in the beginning is to show
that Khalilullah Raoofi is not only a poet himself but, he also belongs to the
family of poets.
I
remember when I was a little boy; I was acquainted with a group of literatures
and well-known people throughout some meetings and parties which were managed
by my father at that time. One of these great gentlemen was Wali Mohammad khan
Panjshiri, who was a constitutionalist and later on, he was elected as senator
in the senate. Despite the fact that, his job was kind of tough, however, he
never gave up, instead he continued spreading his bright knowledge all over. He
was one of the great intellectual scholars and who had lots of knowledge in
faith as well as in rhetoric.
In
this period of time, I was introduced to Neelab Rahimi amongst the researchers,
whom I can declare was the first began her researching on the province of Panjshir. Amongst her outstanding articles, there is one article
about specification of Panjshir’s name in the Ariana magazine.
Then
among the comedian I acquainted with Paeez Hanafi. Hanafi was young
intelligent, clever and brave. Without doubt, we can say, he was our first
modern initiator of jokes. In conclusion, he lost his life telling the truths,
(like Mansoor, a brave man in the history of Islam). He was a common friend of
my father and Mr. Farooq Raoofi as well.
Farooq Raoofi our well-known modern poet and
writer was Khalilullah Raoofi’s oldest brother. Later on, I was introduced with
Khalillulah in exile, where our mother country was collapsed and we branched
out from each other. Although it is hard to get together once again in any part
of the world, however, the only way to keep in touch is to share our ideas. It
is easy to express our ideas through exchanging letters or communicate over the
phone, as dear Raoofi already proved it.
Raoofi is the one who still continues his
efforts to rebuild and stable our lost values, and gives it remarkable thoughts
and reflections of humanity. This great experience of humanities will go further
and beyond our geography and ideology which links a Westerner metropolitan
citizen to an easterner citizen, as well as a Khurasani of yesterday and Afghanistani
of today. In such variety of ideas and qualities, having another look at our
well-known people and reintroducing them to our society is necessary. Writing
“Panjshir in the Mirror of Civilization” is one of these values. Therefore, I
would like to allocate this part of my writing to Khalilullah Raoofi’s
biography. It is worth doing so because he is a great poet of those famous
poets amongst us.
With
this preface, I go back to some of Khalilullah Raoofi’s biography, as well as
his workbook with his testimony: “I was born in the summer of (1324??) In a
poetic and educated family. While I was two years old I lost my father Abdu
Raoofi. That was the hardest time in my life; however I grew up with the
concentration of my mother. Since after I took my journey towards learning in
the Mosque and school.
Since
my subject was related to the military field, hereby I started my study from
military class to military college and continued it in university abroad till I
got my master degrees in military. Besides military profession, the other thing
that I felt affection and love for was poetry in the Farsi which was left to us
as inheritance. On one hand, the poetry was a relaxation for me, in the other
hand it gave me a chance to be acquainted with well-known teachers, literatures
and poets.
I
remember the day when my great teacher Wasef Bakhtary said to me: (Mr.Raoofi,
if you would stay only in your military mission, indeed your personality will
be forgotten and you will be left aside). All pleasure and length of life be upon our
great teachers whom every statement they made is heart inspiring.
I served many years as an engineer in rocket
defense force in my country. After that I experienced so many tragedies through
my life which came one after the other; From Dawood Khan, the communist regime,
some Mujahideen, later on the Taliban regime. However, I tasted all good and
bad things in my life .The life itself thought me a lots!
In 1962 I was appointed in the military correspondent
administration. Then I worked as a deputy post and director of military
magazine as well as director of ministry of defense publication until 1993.
When the Taliban tragedy came in Kabul, I decided
reluctantly to get out of the country, which I did immigrate to a foreign
country, ever since till now I live in Castle city, Germany.
A collection of my poem book (Benafshaha) was
published in Kabul in (1368???), and the second book by the name of { Far from
galaxies(stars) and rivers} ‘Door Az Setaraha-wa-Daryaha’ is under work in
Kabul, it will be published and distributed soon, and will be available to dear
literatures who dearly love poem.
I personally (the writer) did not know
Mr.Khalillulah Raoofi before, just I have known him through his articles and
poems about Wasef Bakhtari, and later on, I knew him as a beautiful human
being, who deserves every thing.
I found Mr. Raoofi as a real writer and poet,
who is full of treasures of Persian literature and poetry .Despite, Mr.Raoofi,
specialized in military engineering field, and had a little time to become a
professional poet, however, he proved his uniqueness that he is a real talented
poet and writer! For more justification and testimony here are some (translation)
samples of his poems:
A liar dawn (daybreak)
The palace of your age destroyed oh my country-fellow
Why the life became a prison to you, oh my dear
country-fellow
Under a massive grief and oppressions
How easy (cheap) became the story of your death
Your blood shed in the street here and there,
It became very inexpensive oh my country-fellow
