Lewaney's education was limited to the second grade, but this did not hinder his literary journey. He started his career in poetry at the age of 15 with his first book of poetry "Yao So Gallona". Over the years, he wrote several notable works including "Lewantob", "Chapawoona", "Ajeeba Paigham", and "Toortam". Lewani was not only a poet but also an important part of the Pashto literature and national movement, known for his unique style of expression, witty humor and efforts to promote book culture through his mobile stalls. He died on 10 May 2024 after a long illness, leaving behind a rich legacy in Pashto literature.^[1][2]
