“Fate gives nothing to the sleeping ones” Khahori of Shah Latif – The symbol of untiring struggle
Abstract
According to the topic and subject matter, Shah Latif has described
Sur Khahori, the life of such wondering men who plod through plains, deserts,
and mountains to earn their simple food “Duth”.
Keeping his tradition of poetic depiction, Shah Latif has mentioned
the characters, places and other things. He has made use of metaphors to explain spiritual meanings. The success of Shah’s poetry lies in the fact that both
the worldly and the spiritual meaning are clearly and beautifully understandable. Surely, the Sur “Khahori” is apparently an allegorical one, Outwordly
their is the description of wondering accumulators of Duth (the simple food/
fruit/Grain) and their difficulties, trails and tribulations, but actually it is the
narration of their struggle, the lovers who are out in search of their beloved
“Allah” almighty. They pass through hardships and tests and at last achieve
their goal.
