Socio-political timeline of Shah Abdul Lateef Bhittai's life
"No description of the Sind of Moghul and Kalhoro days would be adequate without some account of the life of Shah Abdul Latif. He stood at the parting of the ways between the rule or the Moghuls and that of the Kalhora. He witnessed himself the transition from the Sind of the Delhi Empire to the Sind of the struggling independence. His dates are not established with complete certainty. But they may be taken as extending from 1689 to 1752. He was a poet who sang for the people of the rural countryside. His poetry was inspired by the noblest message of Islamic teaching in its spiritualized and mystical form. His poems have become a kind of national heritage."
