O Moon
O Moon, cast first thy silver ray
On the Beloved when you rise
And for thy maker’s sake, O moon
Message of helpless one convey
My hopeful longing eyes, thy way
With tears are watching every day.
Poet: Shah Abdul Latif Bhittai

TRIBUTE
By Kheemchand Koli
Sindh’s saintly soil
Will keep reciting your rhymes
Immortal and aesthetic
Laced with lasting love
Imparting a mighty message
Of humanity to the whole world
Sindh’s saintly soil
Will keep treasuring
Your timeless verses
Brimmed with beauty and brilliance
Soothing so many souls far and wide
Sindh’s saintly soil
Will keep whispering your voice
Sagacious and soulful
Enlightening every aspect of life
Sindh’s saintly soil
Will keep singing your Sufism
Of renunciation and Renaissance
Rejecting the tools of tyranny
Sindh’s saintly soil
Will keep preaching your perspective
On every path of life
In verse and voice
The world you revealed to them.
