    Learning peace & harmony from Bhitai

    In the Name of Allah the Most Beneficent and Merciful

    I am thankful to my teachers who gave me an oppurtunity to express my views about "Learning


    peace & harmony from Bhitai"

    Dear Audience,

    SHAH Abdul Latif Bhitai, the mystic poet of many dimensions, enjoys an outstanding position in
    literature, particularly in Sindh. His verses, compiled under the title of Shah Jo Risalo (The Message
    of Shah), are the masterpiece of the Sindhi language. The Risalo is divided into tunes dedicated to
    the immortal local stories prevailing in the subcontinent, such as Umar Marvi, Sassui Punhoon, Suhni
    Mehar,Noori Jham Tamachi, and Sorath Rai Dhiach.

    There are 30 tunes (sur) in Shah Jo Risalo. About his poems he himself says

    'What thou consider are not merely poems

    'Are the translation of the Quran glorious

    His poetry serves as a guideline for the dejected, worrywart and lover. His message, conveyed
    through the medium of poetry, teems with the spirit of Oneness of Almighty Allah, prophethood,
    insightful ways of mysticism, patriotism, transcendentalism, sacrifice, ceaseless efforts in search of
    the beloved (God), search of truth, love for land and its people, honesty, integrity, sincerity and what
    not his poetry pour with.

    Latif in many ways excels other poets of the world. Allama I.I. Kazi, the first vice chancellor of the
    University of Sindh, on the basis of characteristics given by Thomas Carlyle, has proved Latif as the
    great poet of the world.

    The Romantic Movement in English Literature started in 1798 with the publication of revolutionary
    literary ballads by William Wordsworth and Samuel Taylor Coleridge.

    The book showed new trends in poetry and revolted against the existing system in the field of
    poetry. The true spirit of Romanticism lies in the subject matter of the poetry which for the first time
    in the history of English literature focused on the rustic lifestyle and the elements of nature.

    For the first time the common man was made the centre of gravity of all literary compositions. The
    same idea was practised by Latif a century ago and he made common people as the centre of all his
    poems and in that sense he can be called as the real pioneer of Romanticism.

    Moreover, Wordsworth and other romanticists excelled in content and they attached scanty
    attention to the form but Latif excelled others both in form and in content.
    In literature Wordsworth is considered to be the originator of literary ballads but Latif a century
    earlier had composed literary ballads, most of which are commonly sung on festive occasions in
    Sindh.

    It is time the Sindh government spread Latif's message of love, peace and harmony

    Oh God! Let Sindh prosper

    Oh Gracious Friend! Let all nations prosper.
