Once upon a time there was stunningly beautiful lady of Yousafzai tribe who used to live in Mardan (Pakistan). Her name was Panai. It is said that many men, by the hundreds, fell in love with her, all at the same time. Everybody wanted to marry her.
Such a situation was bound
to result in feuds and fights, which it did. But only one man could marry her. The one who lure her, may be the one whom she had some feelings for. Nah, wrong. Only the one who was the most influential among all of her lovers, had more to offer was the one who could marry her.
That lucky man was Syed Abbas Mian, who took her to Panjtar and then to his own village Mangal Tanra.
What did the rest of the unsuccessful lovers did? They wrote poetry mourning their fate and ridiculing Panai.
Here is one sample of the poetry of a nakaam aashiq.
