Oh My Friend, my Beloved! Glorify Universe all with Thine exuberance.”

Reading this simple ‘message,’ I can sense the despair and despondency, gloom and doom, anguish and anxiety felt by the young people of Mother Sindh. This is not the case of just one such young man, who happens to write to me, but, there exist an overall, general feeling of deprivation and distress, dejection and desolation, futility and loneliness being experienced by almost each and every child of Jeejal Sindhrree. This is leading to people giving up – ending their lives, selling their sons and daughters, brothers and sisters so that they and their loved ones do not have to suffer anymore.
Such hopelessness and haplessness is not a xenophobia of any kind – there is a definitely truth behind it. Every day, in this miserable country they call ‘Pakistan,’ which I call ‘Paleetistan,’ or ‘Dhamakistan’ something or another goes on which triggers sense of futility in the masses. Whether it is a ‘dhamakaa‘ (explosion), which occurs on almost daily basis throughout the length and breadth of this failed state, or it is the murder, or rape, or looting and carnage – that too occur almost daily in this terrorist state – or it is the shooting of worshippers in mosques, or kidnapping of non-Muslim girls and forcing them to convert, or killing of some woman by her brother or father for no reason or for just ‘upholding family honour,’ or for carving out new Provinces from existing ones! Whatever, people really feel insecure and despondent.
And, this is just the tip of the iceberg. I am afraid, the civilised world is going to see more and more of savagery, brutality and barbarism being perpetrated in this corrupt, godless, gutless, guiltless and guileless country. They have now started breaking up existing Provinces and creating more – for what reason? It beats me! God only knows!
But, I have a feeling and, my guts are spilling out with this eerie sensation, that there is something terrible brewing, something horrendous in the making and underway. Something is being ‘cooked’ – that, I guess, could be the unpalatable dish of carving out Sindh and making few other Provinces from it, to appease the villainous Muhajirs, wily Punjabis and savage Armed Forces.
Take this prognosis of mine as a WARNING, my dear naive, simpleton, gullible Sindhis, wherever you are - and keep your eyes, ears, minds, hearts and souls open. BE PREPARED – remember that motto, slogan of a Scout? The question is WHAT IF? It is no point, needless for me to say – however, just another prognosis of mine - that the empty Indus River will be replenished with the blood of the millions of Sindhis, who will certainly never ever allow such a treachery and villainy inflicted upon their motherland, their fatherland, Sindh!
Now, let me comeback to my dear young son of Sindh, Saaeen Bashir Ahmed Soomro, who wrote me that note where I sensed anxiety and anguish, deprivation and disgust: “.....We have no Leadership....,,we are confused....,Please,,,,,,what we have to do,,,,,,now....”
Certainly, I do not have any ready-made answers and solutions to this young man’s question and query – however, if any son or daughter of Sindh , whether in Sindh or Hind or anywhere else in the wide world, have any appropriate, valid and viable answers and solutions, please, come forward and share those with this young man and countless other disturbed people in Sindh.
Nonetheless, herewith, I share with you all my humble remarks, comments and reply on Facebook to Saaeen Bashir Soomro as follows:
Saaeen, Sindh, the glorious land of gregarious and genial, affable and amiable, beautiful and brilliant people, is not Pashtuunistan or Hazara! Sindh is Sindh! It has always been Sindh - for over 7,000 to 10,000 years, the Cradle of Civilisation, the Mother of all Mothers, the Garden of Love, Peace, Harmony, Tolerance and Tranquillity.
In the past, many disgruntled, degenerated, disgraceful and degraded wily conquerors, refugees, migrants from all over the world, had tried their vicious tricks in breaking up this glittering land of gorgeous people - but, they have all met their doom. Their nefarious, unworthy schemes never ever came to any fruition. That is because, Sindh was Sindh - home of Faqqers, Auliyaas, Suufees, Darveishes, Poets and scholars and, of-course, brave, astute and valiant people. Sindh had always been a united, independent, free and sovereign state and, this for thousands of centuries.
That unity was made possible by the loyalty and allegiance, faithfulness and fidelity of the people of Sindh towards their motherland. Sindh remained intact because of the love and longing,
affection and attachment, fondness and tenderness, warmth and devotion that every single child of that Great Mother Sindh felt, showed, experienced, nurtured and practiced for their beloved Mother. The powerful conquerors – Alexanders, Greeks, Arghuns, Targhuuns, Persians, Arabs – all were destined to fail and they all bowed their heads to the Brilliance, that was Sindh! They were all mesmerised by the Suufee, non-violent, humble, hospitable, generous, friendly nature of the people of Sindh.
They all fell in love with Sindh and accepted and adopted Sindh as their Mother and the Mother of their children and the subsequent generations. Many made Sindh their home, like, my own ancestors and those of other Makhdooms, Shahs, Qureshis all over Sindh who came from Arabia; like the Afghans, Tareens, Aghas, Pathans that you will find in Shikarpur and Sukhur; like the Marris, Rinds, Bugtis, that you find in Jacoabad; like the Lagharis, Lasharis, Rajputs that you will find in Nawabshah. They devoted their lives to the learning of the rich culture, heritage, language and norms of the natives of Sindh – Bheel, Kolhi, Menghwar, Oad, who live mostly in Thar and Kunbhars, Muhaannaas, Mochhees, who are found all over Sindh. They wholly, without any qualms, became one with the natives and adopted their Suufee, secular and simple habits and norms. They mastered Sindhi language and read about that great Sage, Saint, Suufee that this Planet had ever seen or even heard - my guru, my murshid, my teacher, my guide, Shah Abdul Latif Bhittai Saaeen.
These new immigrants, including my own ancestors, fell head-over-heels in love with the lilting, rhythmic songs, kalaams and raags of beautiful ‘surs’ of Saaeen Bhittai’s poetry that the crooners and Faqeers, Joggees and Bhaggats sang. They glorified Sindh – because, to them glory of Sindh meant that it was their glory! All these new immigrants, let me emphasise here, were themselves children of great civilisations with values, morals, character and above all love for culture and heritage. It was easy for them to become a part of glittering, twinkling, shimmering Civilisation, that was Sindh.
Yes, the pure water from the Arab Nile and Tigris, Afghan and Persian Rivers mixed with the pure holy water of Sindhu and it became ONE! One Sindhi nation! One formidable Civilisation!
But, suddenly a wind blew from the East and the North and what a chilling wind it was! What a ferocious hurricane this was! Oh, yes! What a severe storm that was! It blew into this beautiful land of the illuminated ones, all the scum, rubbish, filth, rotten riffraff, rabble and rubble lying abandoned and scattered on the streets and in drains of the East and the North – these were the Punjabis and the Biharis, Mohajirs. They had no culture, no civilisation, no values, morals or character. They contaminated the pure way of life of this paak, pavitar, pure holy land; they polluted the culture of Great Sindhi nationth; they defiled the suufee tradition of the Siindhis; they destroyed the sweet language of the Sindhis and forced their own ignoble and infamous, unworthy and uncouth, infantile and insignificant language on the innocent, simple, naive, gullible people of Sindh.
And, beautiful Sindh was beautiful no more, civilised Sindh was civilised no more, morally astute Sindh was upright no more, smiling jovial Sindh was happy no more, healthy hearty Sindh was fit no more, strong vigorous Sindh was vibrant no more, resourcefully rich Sindh was powerful no more! Today, Sindh is weak, frail, sick and lying on her deathbed:
لڳي لڳي واٸو؍ ويڙا انگڙا لٽجي؍
پيٸي کڻين پساھ؍ پسڻ ڪارڻ پرينٸَ جي؍
“Laggee laggee waau, wayarraa angrraa lattjee, (Shah Habib)
Paee khannei pasaahu, pasanna kaaranni pireenya jei.” (Shah Bhittai)
“Violent storms did blow, covered frail body in sand,
Few breaths of life left, only to see Beloved’s hand!”

If we love our motherland, like the Sindhis of the past, and there are no ‘ifs’ or ‘buts’ about this, than nobody dare break this nation apart, not even the coward Punjabis or immoral Urrdees. Sindh needs her children now – back into her warm bosom and near her adorable lap! If every Sindhi did his part as a filial, loyal, loving son of his or her beloved Mother – I am sure there will be no carving of Sindh! But, the question is are we those children that every mother longs and yearns to have?
ڇا اسان پنھنجي جيجل امڙ جي ٿڃ ڪونہ پيتي آھي؟
ڇا اسان پنھنجي سنڌۇ ماتا جو پاڻين ڪونہ پيتو آھي؟
Saaeen, have we not drank our beloved mother’s milk? Have we not drank our Mother Sindhu’s holy water? Well, if we have than we must STAND UP and be counted! Even if blood is required, we should be out there to sacrifice our life to keep our Beloved Sindh alive and intact! And, also, OPEN YOUR EYES! There are a lot of ghadaar, kameennaa, illegitimate so-called Sindhis around, who have not drank their own mother’s milk and have not drank the sacred water of Mother Sindhu. These scoundrels will be ready to sell their own mother for peanuts! They will, and I am sure, that they are planning and plotting, scheming and conspiring, cooking and contriving, to sell Sindh for few dollars and cents to filthy Muhajirs or wily Punjabis – and all this with the help and blessings of the Super Powers.
Saaeen, we must remain vigilant and united as one flesh and bones and tied together as one body and soul! If we do – then, I guarantee you, no son or daughter of any mother from anywhere in the world, will desecrate, defile, demolish, destroy or carve unto pieces this Glorious Mother of all Mothers, our beloved Sindh!
پتنگ چاھين پاڻ کي؍ تَ اچي آڳ أجھا۶ِ؍
پچڻ گھڻان پچايا؍ تون پچڻ کي پچاِ۶؍
واقف ٿي وسا۶ِ؍ آڳ نَ ڏج عام کي؍
((ڀٽاٸي
“Patangu chaaheen paanna khei, ta achee aaggi ujhaaei,
Pachanna ghannaan pachaayaa, tuun pachaanna khei pachaai,
Waaqufu thee wisaai, aagga na ddiju aama khei.” (Bhittai)
“Be thou butterfly moth, then douse fire of ardour within,
Fire hath burnt so many, thou buneth the blaze within!
Extinguish like an expert, this privilege give not to anyone! (Bhittai)

اچو تہ سنڌ جي سينڌ سنواريون
شالَ ايينٸي ٽڻندا رھو گلڻن جيان؍
مھڪندا رھو چمبيليٸَ جيان؍
جرڪندا رھو سج جيان؍
ٽم ڪندا رھو تارن جيان؍
ڌڻين شاد ۽ آباد رکيو
! ساٿ سلامت، قوم سلامت، سنڌ سلامت
سدائين گڏ
الله واهي
پنھنجي دعاءن ۾ ياد رکندا
