AGE OF SACHAL SARMAST IN PRESENT ERA
Abstract
Sachal Sarmast, who for his daring voice and determined will, is
known `Mansur Saani`in Sindh and all over the world. He was not only a
born poet but a born intoxicated soul. After Mansur al hallaj, no one but
Sachal was the only poet in Sindh, who followed the philosophy of
Mansur and expressed `Ana ul haq` in his poetry. Sachal sarmast was
disciple of Miaan Abdul Haq, who was his uncle too, but in poetry, he
has accepted impacts of Shah Latif, Bayazid Bistami, Rumi, Shams
Tabraiz, Fariduddin Attar and Mansur Hallaj. Sachal Sarmast preached
in his Poetry love, Equality, brother hood and denied all kinds of duality,
cast and creed.
Sachal was not only a Sufi sage but a learned scholar and
intellectual. He has addressed and highlighted the social, political and
religious issues of his times in his poetry. He had a huge command over
Sindhi, Arabic, Persian, Urdu, Siraaiki and Hindi Languages. Though he
composed poetry in different Languages but his Sindhi and Siraaiki
poetry is more splendid and attractive enough. His poetry teaches us
lesson of love and humanity. He teaches knowing thyself is to know
Him. He is not any where else but in you and omnipresent, only you have
to feel His presence. Sachals’ message is to search for truth and avoid all
kinds of extremisms. Importance and relevance of Sachal’s Poetry with
this era will be highlighted in the paper.
