Short Note Or Summary Of Shah Abdul Latif


The great saint Shah Abdul Latif, is lovingly called Lal Latif by his devotees. He was born in 1102 Hijra in a small  village called " Hala Haveli". Shah Abdul Latif's ancestors had migrated to Sindh from Hirat.  His father name was Syed  Habib Shah. Shah Latif was a great saintly poet of Sindh. His poetry is simple and moving. The collection of Shah's poetry is called "Shah jo Risalo", which has been translated into many languages.  Besides being a saint and poet he was also a musician so he made music simple and invented a musical instrument called "tambooro". Shah Latif spent the last part of his life on a Bhit. There was a lake near the Bhit. He spent most of his time there in prayers, devotion or composing verses in God's praise. In Sindhi language "Bhit" means mounds. That's why he is called as Abdul Latif  Bhitai. The message of  Shah latif  is love, brotherhood and equality of men.  Shah Bhittai died on the Bhit and was buried there. A shrine was built over his grave where his urs is held on 14th Safar every years.People love his songs even today and respect him very much.
