Some unaccomplished Projects:

An Anthology of Beedil Odes
With a preface by late Ustad Bashir Herawi, While being  its last proofs read, the change in government and conditions in Kabul left it unpublished like many other works.

Ethics and Morality in Shahnama
While the book was ready to be printed, I learned the a book in the same subject was under the print in Iran. Later the change of the government and system in Kabul lead to loss of the only copy of the book.

A Vocabulary of the Jami’s Poetry
The book was compiled, as an assigned duty, during the author’s career in the Afghan Academy of Sciences in Kabul. The copy of the book was submitted to the department of Farsi Language and Literature.

Behind the Gate of India
The book was compiled on Herat and it’s two last century’s wars. It was compiled according to an agreement between the Author and the Islamic researches foundation. The work on its publishing and printing was going on, but it stopped and discontinued. Even I could not have a copy of the book.
