- Adam Khan and Durkhanai: the Pashto love tale of SwatAdam Khan and Durkhanai is a Pashto love tale set in Bazdara, Swat: a rubab player and a chief's betrothed daughter who die of separation. The earliest known verse telling is credited to Sadr Khan Khattak, a son of Khushal, and a film followed in 1971.
- Pashto literature and oral poetry: from the Roshani writers to the landayWritten Pashto literature survives from the later sixteenth century, beginning with Bayazid Ansari's Khayr al-Bayan, the Roshani poets and their opponent Akhund Darweza, peaks with Khushal Khan Khattak (1613-89), Rahman Baba and Hamid, and runs beside an older oral tradition whose best-known form is the landay, a 22-syllable couplet sung mostly by women.
- Pashto proverbs (mataluna): collections, themes and examplesPashto proverbs, mataluna, were first collected in print by Septimus Thorburn in Bannu in 1876, with the Pashto and English side by side. Later collections include Rohi Mataluna (2006) and Zellem's Mataluna (2014).
- Rahman Baba: the Pashto Sufi poetAbdul Rahman Mohmand, Rahman Baba (رحمان بابا), was a seventeenth-century Sufi poet of the Ghoryakhel Mohmand near Peshawar whose Diwan of ghazals is the most widely read book of Pashto poetry. He is buried at Hazarkhwani, where his shrine was bombed in March 2009 and reopened in 2012.
- The charbeta: Pashto sung verse of battles, chiefs and loveThe charbeta (chārbayta) is a long Pashto folk poem sung to the rabab in the hujra, built on a refrain that returns after every stanza. Singers made charbetas on battles, murdered chiefs and the news of the day, and chapbooks still print them.
- The landay: Pashto two-line folk verse (tappa, misra)The landay (لنډۍ), also called tapa or misra, is a two-line Pashto verse of nine and thirteen syllables. No one signs it: women and men sing it at springs, weddings and in war, and it has been collected since 1888.
- The Pashto ghazal: from the Roshani poets to Hamza BabaThe ghazal (غزل) is a poem of rhymed couplets that came into Pashto from Persian models. The Roshani poets took it up about 1600, and Khushal, Rahman, Hamid and Hamza are among its best-loved poets.
- The Pashto novel and short story: Rahat Zakheli, Zaitoon Bano and the first novelsPashto prose fiction is about a century old. Rahat Zakheli's story Kunda Jenai (1917) is usually named the first Pashto short story, and scholars still argue over which novel came first: Zakheli's Mah Rukhi (about 1910) or Taraki's Be Tarbiyata Zoay.
- The Pata Khazana: Habibi's 1944 anthology of early Pashto poetsThe Pata Khazana (پټه خزانه) is an anthology of Pashto poets from 718 to 1688 that Abdul Hai Habibi published in Kabul in 1944. Morgenstierne and others doubted it, and most experts now consider it a forgery.
- Yusuf Khan and Sherbano: the Pashto love story and its 1970 filmYousaf Khan aw Sherbano is a Pashto love story of a hunter from Turlandi in Swabi and a girl from a nearby village, ending in both their deaths. Sung as a narrative poem, it became the first lasting Pashto film in December 1970.
