TWO and a half centuries after his death, the celebrated Sindhi philosopher-poet Shah Abdul Latif Bhittai (1689-1752 AD) continues to inspire and influence the lives and activities of the peace-loving mystic souls of Sindh. Intellectual activities, social, political or ideological discourses are considered meaningless without the recitation of his poetry. Shah Latif has become an essential part of the day-to-day life of the people of Sindh so much so that everyone wants to find out more about his life, his principles and beliefs and discover the true interpretation of his mesmerisingly meaningful poetry.
1."Foremost, Omniscent and Supreme, is world's Lord,
Of His own might in existence since aeons old,
Mighty Creator, Merciful, Sustainer, one and only,
His praises sing, He planned and perfected the universe."....
2.There is a call to gallows,
friends, will any of you go!
Those who do talk of love may know
3.O God, may ever you on Sindh
bestow abundance rare;
Beloved! all the world let share
thy grace, and fruitful be.
