Patriotism in the poetry of Mir Abdul Hussain Sangi
Abstract
Mir Abdul Hussain Sangi is Sindhi Neo-classical poet. He
was great fan of Shah Abdul Latif Bhitai, hence inspired by his
thoughts and poetic art etc. One can see Bhitai’s inspiration and
reflection in his poetry and diction. He belongs to British era.
During his period of intellectuality, Sindhi language and
literature were passing a revolutionary progress and he might
be inspired by all those progressive trends and thoughts. His
poetry is evidence of his era as well. He has changed the shape
of Persianized Sindhi Ghazal in pure Sindhi diction and
introduced new subjects in this genre. Although Sangi is
famous for his classic romantic poetry, but there are many other
qualities of his poetry as well, which are not exposed yet. While
analyzing his poetry it seems that he has great concern with his
land and people, he cannot compromise with unethical attitudes
in the society. This article presents a brief study of his poetry
and highlights with examples about his thoughts, diction, his
concerns and a unique genre of his poetry that can be describes
as “poetic travelogue”, which is not common in Sindhi poetry.
Indeed, it is a unique quality of his poetry. Main focus of this
article is Patriotism in the poetry of Mir Abdul Hussain Sangi.
