Abstract
Persian is one the literary language of the world which has not only been influenced by many developed languages from many aspect sbut also has made impact on many languages itself. it has given a creative and healthy touch to sindhi language too. In different periods of history many scholars, saints, sages, thinkers, preachers, poets, literary figures and man of letters like: Pir Sadaruddin, Mir Shams, Mir Moeen, Syaed Shurallah, QalandarShahbaz and others came from lran to sindh and made this land their permanent place of residence. Their advent in sindh revolutionized mysticism as well as transforming sindhi literature altogether. They brought novelty to mysticism and the traditional way of expression. The poetic message and the eay of expression of Hafiz Sheerazi, Umar Khayam, Romi, Jami, Rodki, Ataar, Fridosi and many other poets reached sindh in letter and spirit and the great poets and literary figurelike: Qazi Qadan, Shah Lutufuallah Qadri, Makhdoom Nooh, Khwaja Muhammad Zaman, Shah Abdul Latif and Sachal Sarmast could notspare themselves from the influence of their melodious way of expression. The reflection of the inspiration of the Persian can very easilybe observed in the literary works of above mentioned man of letters.
Beautiful architecture and calligraphy of lran unavoidably left a positive effect on sindh which is still discernable today at shrines and places of worship especially at Shah Jahan masjid of Thatta and graveyard of makil. For a considerable period of time Persian remained literary, educational and the official language of sindh. Therefore sindhi language gained a great benefit from Persian in the fields of education, literature and art. The fields of Gazal, Qaseeda and Masnavi were Specially bestowed to sindhi poetry by Persian. Besides this, sindhi language also borrowed innumerable words, idioms, adages and accents from Persian which merged into sindhi in such a way that instead of looking alien they look a precious asset to sindhi language today. One the whole, Persian language, literature, culture and civilization have had multidimensional effects on sindhi language and literature which have made sindhi literature rich vocabulary and expressions.
