“My love for the land of Sindh inspired me to compose music,” Saif explained. “Sindhi poetry is incomplete without a mention of love for the land,” said Dr M Ishaq Samejo, director of the Institute of Sindhlogy at the University of Sindh, while speaking at the Lahooti Melo organised in Hyderabad recently.įrom poets like Shah Abdul Latif Bhitai and Sachal Sarmast to present day musicians like Saif and many others, this love for the land has always been prevalent. Therefore, they call it their motherland,” said Saif Samejo, founder and lead vocalist of The Sketches. “The people of Sindh see the land as their mother - a mother who feeds them with her rich agricultural resources, a mother who gives them water through the Indus River. Most poets describe their poetry as an expression of love for God or beloved, however, for Sindhi poets love of land comes first.
