Recently i wrote about shah latif bhittai and how he enriched sindhi society and its language and literature.
I Think one can clearly observe the impact of shah latif message in all corners of Sindhi society and culture. Shah Abdul Latif bhittai has given clear path to language and literature of land and enriched its culture while narrating love and peace message of land which echoed for centuries but rarely some artist recognized them and shared with common folk.
How shah latif describe weathers, lakes, trees, wild life and different geographical locations in sindh; it is rarely depicted in earlier Sindhi poetry. He depict rainy seasons, storms in seas, behaviors of lakes and rivers, etc. It is very interesting that shah latif is poet of all people who understand him and his message. He is messenger of sufi poet and singers, he is forefather of sindhi intelectuals and government writers.
In recent past shah has been described religiously too. my previous blog on radicalization of shah latif by shia mullas at shrine. But no body in sindh has ever dared to talk about it because of occupation of religious people; every place of sindhi heroes and social prophets were radicalized or in the process of radicalization.
Shah latif also describe the true and very simple religion in practice. He also condemn the killings and tortures of cruel people in the history. he also wishes peace full world for every human on the earth. His social thoughts must be redefined with its original message. Shah latif work must be compiled in scientific way to save the history of sindh and culture and its language and literature.
I have observed that sughars, awami singers , poets , sufis have many dimensions of shah latif which are still undiscovered by researchers. Sociologist, anthropologists, experts of sindhology, archeology, linguistics, and literature; have more to find from our culture about shah latif.
Shah latif wished a society based on love and peace with good relation with other societies, he wished peace for world not for only sindh.
Shah latif love concept is also very revolutionary in its context.
Akh perein he akh mein eho kuthal jo ahey kam
laey des latif chaey sisy sundo cham
tone wanjy dum ta be akh perein je akh mein
I believe that shah latif needs reinterpretation in every age and time because his message has universal meaning and applicability . He is poet of love not force, he his poet of human not mulla , he condemn the cruelty in society and does not provide any space to victimize people on biased based .
Shah latif poetry should be translated in its social context not in religious or romantic context although both are part of life in every poet but one needs to understand message within poetry.
