Crown of Sindhi poetry:
Shah Abdul Latif Bhittai
Areesha Bukhari
Whenever I use to recite the poetry of English, Urdu and Sindhi, I feel unknown joy, which ever make my heart tender and full it with humanity, love, peace and affection. That is only due to the inspiring power of the poetry. It is true that the good Poetry ever consoles the wounded souls and hearts. I ever drowned in the depth of philosophy and the intellect of some beautiful poets. Some personalities have ever attracted and inspired me because they have told the true meaning of life. They have described such an amazing depth of life which is wondering. Shah Abdul Latif Bhitai is one of them who touched my heart and taught me the true lesson of life. Whenever I recite the verses from Shah Jo Risalo I feel the new vistas of thinking which ever open for me. The root of Lotus flower fair in deepest waters grows- High soars the humble-bee, but fate their in most wishes knows. Through love, fulfillment it bestows, and makes the lovers meet. May be I am female so Bhitai inspires me more, because Bhitai has focused on Sindhi culture with special reference to the women. He has depicted all his stories from feminine point of view. Likewise ancient Sanskrit; Bhitai has also shown females as lover rather than beloved. The female characters of Shah Abdul Latif are known as the seven heroines. These seven main Heroines along with other side female characters are well known in Sindhi folklore. Bhitai has given them an extraordinarily importance and symbolically has delivered His massage through these characters. These Seven Queens were illustrious throughout Sindhi folk as well as Sindhi classical literature. These are the true pictures of the brighten values of Sindhi culture and history. Due to their optimistic qualities such as; candor, veracity, devoutness and loyalty these characters are keeping never-ending praise in the eyes of people of their land. They were also esteemed for their valor and their willingness to take risk of their lives in the name of love, loyalty and fidelity. The Seven Queens mentioned in Shah Jo Risalo are Marvi, Momal, Sassi, Noori, Sohni, Sorath, and Lila. Along with these seven heroines the other important female characters are Soomal (sister of Moomal), Mokhi, Nater, Wannjari (lover of Shipmen), Kaonro (lover of chanesar) etc Shah Abdul Latif Bhittai has wisely depicted the true sense of the women in his poetry. He has explored the love and transparency of hearts of his characters. Now or after, my destiny is my Beloved one- The labour of poor one, O God let it in vain not be I beg for nothing, but to see my loved-one in this life (Sasue)
Shah Abdul Latif Bhittai in his poetry used the metaphors and similes at large scale. His poetry is full of art on one hand and on another hand he keeps the philosophy of life which is more needed to be discovered. His Marvi is the symbol of love with homeland, Momal is symbol of love and sacrifice, Sassi is the symbol of struggle and efforts, Noori is symbol of Sincerity, Sohni is symbol of love and affection, Sorath is symbol of sacrifices, and Lila is shown as low-grade and greedy but loving lady. If we sought out the qualities of the poetry of Shah Abdul Latif Bhittai we may say that He is the crown of the sindhi poetry.
