The Analysis of research work about Nanak Yousif
Abstract
The Name of Sachal Sarmast is the most prominent name amongst
the classical and Sufi poetry. He rebelled against prevalent poetic traditions
and devised new traditions in poetry. His disciples and seekers also followed
in his footsteps. Faqeer Nanak Yousif was Sachal’s distinguished disciple and
seeker, who not only received spiritual learning from him, but also adopted
his poetic style. His poetry is based on Tassawuff. He does not accept the gap
between the individual and Divine. His poetry though is composed according
to musical melodies. He composed poetry in Sindhi, Seraiki, Hindhi, Rekhta
and Balochi languages, mostly in the form of Kafees and Baits.
Nanak Yousif’s poetry was firstly compiled by Dr. Tanveer Abbasi,
who himself is a modern sindhi poet and a prominent researcher on Sachal
Sarmast. The said anthology was published in the year 1983 which included
reliable authentic information about the life of Nanak. After a lapse of 31
years, Dr. Abbasi got published a new edition of the anthology, and included
newly discovered poetry as appendix.
In this paper, I am endeavoring to analyze scholarship of Dr. Tanveer
Abassi about Nanak Yusif and sugges-ng other avenues of research in this
regard .
