Pir Roshan

Bāyazīd Khān Ansārī, 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 Pakistan and Afghanistan, 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. A modified version of this alphabet continues to be used to write Pashto. He wrote mostly in Pashto, but also in Persian, Urdu and Arabic, while his own mother tongue was Ormuri.
