Sahibzada Habib-ur-Rahman Qalandar Momand (September 1, 1930 - February 4, 2003) was a well-known Pashto poet, short story writer, journalist and linguist. ^[1] Mr Momand was editor of the daily Shahbaz, the official organ of the defunct National Awami Party (NAP), and chief editor of the daily Anjam. He started his journalistic carrier in Karachi early in the sixties.

He was imprisoned several times for his radical views. Momand was detained in a cell at Lahore Fort next to that of Hasan Nasir, secretary-general of the Communist Party of Pakistan, and was the sole witness to the latter’s death by torture during the Ayub dictatorship.
Mr Momand was awarded Sitara-i-Imtiaz by the Benazir Bhutto government.
