8/3/2023 0 Comments Shaikh ayaz poetry in sindhiToday's great persons will be history tomorrow, but the poets and artists never die, age or disappear. Politics is, and always will be time-bound. Culture draws its richness from art and literature it evolves with every passing age and becomes the ethos of the nation. There is a vast difference between the love and loyalty to political figures and admiration for a poet. Officialdom seems mesmerised by the political greats of Sindh, the Bhuttos and Bhutto / Zardaris, to give a great to a 'mere' literary great figure. Their failure to honour the great poet is in effect disregard of Sindhi culture and the people's pride and dignity. Only officialdom does not think like the people of Sindh for it often ignores Ayaz.Īll the speakers at the Jashan-i-Ayaz, held last weekend in Hyderabad, highlighted the lack of recognition to Ayaz by officialdom. The first is Shah Abdul Latif Bhittai's, the second Shaikh Ayaz's. What do you expect in a place rife with poverty, ignorance and illiteracy? But even the most ignorant know two names. It remains mostly hidden, unknown and unsung. The Sindhi language is a treasure-trove of literature filled with folk tales, short stories, novels, plays and, above all poetry, the diamonds and emeralds in the valuable collection. The people of Sindh are unanimous in recognising Shaikh Ayaz the greatest contemporary poet of the province.
