Abstract

Shah Abdul Latif Bhittai is one of the most revered saints and most loved poets of Sindh. His Shah jo Risalo has been translated into many languages from Sindhi and a large number of scholars, both Pakistani and foreign, have tried to understand and explain the philosophy and the message in Shah Latif`s poetry. The author has explained in this paper that the worldly love had led Shah Latif to eternal and real love, that is the love of God, and his worldly love is but a metaphor for the eternal and true love of Allah, a relationship between the soul of an individual and the Soul of the Cosmos. But the author laments that tyranny of the feudal system still exists in Sindh and Shah Latif`s call to gallows remains silent.
