Abstract

Wa’i is the oldest and most popular poetry genre of Sindh. It has its own particular form which distinguishes it from other poetry genres. Wa’ai has more to do with singing than reading. It consists of three stanzas in Sindhi but sometimes it also consists of four, five and six stanzas. Wa’i is a flexible, delicate and tender language for expressing subtle emotions, expressing public feelings and emotions. It belongs to a genre of folk songs. All the ancient and modern poets of Sindh have given place to Wa’i in their poetry, especially Shah Abdul Latif Bhitai's poetry contains Wa’ai. Wa’ai has always been a part of the culture of Sindh and thus reflects all the sentiments of the people of Sindh. Even today, Wa’i is a completely popular genre in all parts of Sindh. Structure of Wa’i is similar to Kafi and Mahiya, but Wa’i is completely different and unique from them in terms of its themes and structure.
