8/25/2023 0 Comments Poetry shah latif sindhi![]() A Sufi in true sense of the word and very pious, Shah was unassuming and unpretentious, a trait that has been the hallmark of Islamic mysticism. Studying Shah Latif's life and his poetry makes one feel that he was a sensitive, gentle and kind soul. The word 'latif' literally means fine, delicate, tender, subtle, elegant, light, gentie, benevolent, etc. However, taking the literal meaning of the word 'latif' into account would also help understand both the poetry and the person. Here 'Latif', of course, means Shah Abdul Latif Bhitai (1689/90-1752), one of Sindh's foremost Sufis and poets, who commands great respect not only of the lovers of Sindhi poetry and his devotees but also of scholars of different languages. KARACHI: Syed Mazhar Jameel in his book 'Mukhtasar tareekh-i-zaban-oadab: Sindhi' has quoted Ali Nawaz Vafai as saying 'Latif is Sindh, Sindh is Latif'.
