Abstract
Shah Abdul Latif Bhittai is a celebrated mystic poet and saint of
Sindh. His poetry is dedicated to the common men of Sindh. This is not only
held in high esteem but is also adored. Such an exalted status is seldom
achieved by any poet as by Shah Sahib. How is a poet exalted to such status?
Several factors are responsible for that, the most important being his affiliation with his country men; he owns their affection and joys and expresses them
in their accent. As dialect of a language varies from area to area, in the same
way the dialect of different social groups also vary, certain terminologies attached to different occupations are used by the professional of particular occupation. Thus a clear difference is observed in the accent of the people, who
despite living in the same social background, render different occupation.
Shah Sahib has recited his poetry in the language of various occupation holders of his country like fisherman, cattle grazers, washer-man, potters, weavers,
butchers and folk Singers etc.
