tappey/landey...
Tappey ( Landay) is a form of folkloric poetry consisting of couplets, the first one contain nine syiiables and the second thirteen.
This format of poetry is described by some to consist of one and one half verses.
The author is generally unknown.composition usualy takes place in hujra with contribution from the participating friends. Some of them have names of authors
national figures and heroes attached.
Tappey are started with a fond opening word of ya qurbaan, meaning respect to the listener or subject.
Afghan pashtoon use the word jaar de sham:offering of love friendship.
Tappey are sung with loud melodious voice and could be accompanied by Mengay Tabla,Thambal,Baja and Settar.
Tappey are generally sung on occasion of weddings celebrations or just to tide over the long winter nights.
In weddings ceremonies it might have the form of two-person duet presented by male and female singers or two male singers.
Tappa covers all forms of pashtoon life- love, longing,passion, anger, hate, wars,
history, heroes and villains. The love for environment,flower, cities and mountains is contained in many.
Pukhtoon love for his cities is expressed reverently.
The rugged pakhtoon terrain from chitral to chaman and Ammu to Abaseen is the
source of inspiration in the form of Tappa and is a therapy for the soul of the
inhabitants of these mountains and valleys.
The expatriate and natives alike often miss Pekhawer, Kabul, Qandahar,
Nangrahar, Chaman, Mardan, Swat, Bajawerh, Nowkhar, Krhapa and Tirra. Tappey covers them all.
There is sufficient coverage of the beauty of the landmark mountains like
Khyber, Tahtarra,Krhapa, Malakand, Tirra and Elam.
Separation is pain; reunion a joyful event and a great happening.
Islam the religion of the Pashtoon tribes is noted in many, others reveal his
reverence to spiritual leaders of the past like Pir Baba,hazrat Ali and Kaka saib.
Pashtoon are fond of fragrant flowers like Kashmale, rose and Chambele to
mention a few. He compares the beauty of his love without devotion to a flower
without fragrance.
The beloved has to have wafa or heart felt devotion, she is mentioned with great
reverence and respect, her lips are red, face lilly white. eyes, always clear,
shining, full of passion and beautiful like the flower of narges/ narcissus.
Her hairs are long and consist of jet-black locks often compared to day and night.
Some tappey describes the face of the beloved as roohani (spiritual) as Islam and the hair jet black,cruel as pagan Kafiristan.
Pashtoon lovers is always longing, dreaming and imagining, he never gets a chance to marry
the girl of his dreams. It is satisfying to dream and imagine seeing her
fetching water, the water pitcher Mangey from the water bank Guuder or water well.
One Jewish historian noted this commonality between Pukhtoons and Jews by
reading the frequent mention of water bank and wells in our folk poetry. He
noted the same in the Israelites, like Moses, Jacob and many others who fell in
love with their wives by the water holes and wells.
Tappey covers the constant struggle of the pashtoon with nature, the harsh
weather, and droughts. With all those wars, struggle for existence and survival
I wonder how Adam Khan and Durkhaney pulled a love affair, so successful to be
remembered for generations.
Tuhmat, Bednami- fear of bad reputation bugs the lover constantly.
Sohbat, the un-ending love talk of lovers is the state of bless, longed for in many verses.
Beltoon the other fellow who has the same love interest, is a hateful soul.
He is smart and capable to win over the family of the girl some how and gets away with it. He is waham and waswasa- the extreme fear of being accepted by the beloved's family and the beloved.
The beloved's fond neglect -Makeiz does not allay the fear or remedy the situation.
The beloved is often not trust worthy she may fall for the talk of the beiltoon-rival love,who is
like a Latoo, a talkative bird that changes its chirping tone frequently to attract its own kind in the forest.
Tapoose.. tuur kargha, the crow is an ugly bird at times it brings bad news, by
repeatedly crowing in front of the house. The qa! qa! of the crow inspires aw and fear of loss of the beloved..
