Dastaan Go by Ashfaq Ahmed



Ashfaq Ahmed (August 22, 1925 – September 7, 2004) was a distinguished writer, playwright, broadcaster, intellectual and spiritualist from Pakistan. His prime qualities of heart and hand earned appreciations across the borders. He was regarded by many as the best Urdu Afsana (short-story) writer after Saadat Hasan Manto, Ismat Chughtai and Krishan Chander following the publication of his famous short-story "Gaddarya" [The Shepherd] in 1955.
He wrote many TV drama series; which include Aik Muhabbat Sau Afsanay, Uchhay Burj Lahore Dey, Tota Kahani, Lekin, Hairat Kadah and Mun Chalay ka Sauda. He wrote over twenty five books including a travelogue, Safar Dar Safar. In his later days, Ashfaq Ahmed was greatly inclined towards sufism. His close association with Qudrat Ullah Shahab and Mumtaz Mufti was also attributed for this inclination. He appeared in television’s programs Baithak and Zawiya and gave logical answers to the audience, mostly youth, in a mystic style.
He was awarded the President’s Pride of Performance and Sitara-i-Imtiaz for his laudable services in the field of literature and broadcasting.
