Shah Abdul Latif Bhittai (1689–1752) was a Sufi scholar and considered as one of the greatest poets of the Sindhi language. Shah Abdul Latif Bhittai was born in 1689 in Hala Haveli's village near Hyderabad, Pakistan. His
most famous written work is the “Shah Jo Risalo”, which is a masterpiece of
Sindhi Literature as well. The major themes of his poetry include Unity of Almighty, love for human, religious tolerance and humanistic values. The women
in Shah Abdul Latif’s poetry are known as the seven heroines ( ن ( of
Sindhi folklore. They have been given the status of heroines in the Shah Jo
Risalo. The Seven heroines respected throughout Sindh for their positive qualities: their honesty, integrity, piety and loyalty. They were also valued for their
bravery and their willingness to risk their lives in the name of love. In his monumental work, there are Chapters, known as Surs (Melodies) where Bhittai
gives his Message of love, longing, patriotism, communal harmony, tolerance,
divine affection and devotion. These Seven Melodies, in fact the seven stages of
Soul find expression through his famous heroine. Scholars have observed that
the succession of Sohni, Sassi, Leela, Moomal, Marui, Noori and Sorath
(Seven Heroines) represent the Seven Stages of the Soul. Indeed, quite an apt
allegory, and Bhittai’s specialty is that he does not narrate complete stories
but offers dramatic monologues highlighting the lessons to be learnt at each
stage. Many Sindhi dramatists write drama in the light of Shah Abdul Latif
Bhittai’s poetry. Khanchand Daryani was the first play writer who wrote
‘Moomal aen Mendhro’ in 1922. After that, so many dramatists have written
drama in the perspective of the poetry of Shah
