Sachal Sarmast


Sachal Sarmast (1739 - 1829) was a Sufi poet from Sindh, Pakistan and also known as Shair-e-Hafat Zaban (poet of seven languages) and Sartaj-i-Shuara.

There are nine collections of his Persian poetry, especially Dewan-e-Askardand Darar, which mainly consists of philosophical verses.

He wrote poems in many languages, the most prominent among which are Sindhi and Saraiki. His real name was Abdul Wahab Farooqui and "Satchel" or "Sachu", his nickname.
He used this pen-name in his poem. True, which means 'Satyavadi' - while Sindhi Saramast means 'Parmanand'.

As Sachal Sarmast saying :
من             اساں              دا               نہیں                   منیدا
مُلایاں دا                              مزکُور
My heart is doesn't agree with the discourse of priests 

The literal meaning of Sachal Sarmast can be translated as "Satyavadi Mystic" or "Parmanand Saints of Truth".

The poetic compositions of Sachalal are sung by local singers in Sindhi and Saraiki. Sachal Sarmast was a staunch follower of Waahadat-ul-Wajud (unity of existence), which is synonymous to Islamic philosophy, Hama Oost (one from all).

He was born in Daraz Sharif in 1739 and died in 1827. Your father was Khwaja Salahuddin Farooqi, who died shortly after the birth of the Sufi saint.
