Akhund Darweza’s (d. 1638) Makhzanul Islam (written between 1603 and 1612). A verse in this book reads:
Khushal Khan Khattak (1613 – 1689) Pakhtun warrior, poet and tribal chief of the Khattak tribe wrote in his book “Kulyat Khushaal Khan Khattak” writes
Similarly, the often-quoted two lines of a poem by Ahmad Shah Abdali (1723-1773), mention Pakhtunkhwa as the land of the Pashtuns or Pakhtuns. Here are the lines:

Khushal Khan Khattak (1613 – 1689) Pakhtun warrior, poet and tribal chief of the Khattak tribe wrote in his book “Kulyat Khushaal Khan Khattak” writes
(Translation: The whole Pakhtunkhwa stood in its place, only I was made Mansur by time)نوره واړه پختونخوا په ځائي مېشتۀ وهخو يو زه دې زمانې په کښې منصور کړم
Similarly, the often-quoted two lines of a poem by Ahmad Shah Abdali (1723-1773), mention Pakhtunkhwa as the land of the Pashtuns or Pakhtuns. Here are the lines:
