“Khosh Bigim”- A Love Song:
Khosh Bigim is one of the masterpiece folksongs of Chitral. Its composition dates back to 1880s by Ali Aman Khan, son of Ali Mardan Khan. The family was Chieftain of a local principality in the Badakhshan Province of Afghanistan, who, because of internal strife and external intrigues, migrated to the Yasin valley of the present day Gilgit-Baltistan (GB).
Later Ali Mardan Khan was made Governor of Ishkoman by the British. As Ishkoman, was mostly populated by Khowar Speaking settlers, the family developed a taste for Khow Culture and Literature. The other brother, Sher Azam Khan, came over to stay in Mulkhow, Chitral. His son Gul Azam Khan-commonly known as ‘Phoroliko Zhaw’-also composed masterpiece in the history of Khowar folksongs.
But Aman’s was altogether a different story. He lost his heart to Khosh Bigim, a lady from the Ghizer valley through which he frequently travelled to and from Chitral after visiting his uncle and cousin.
