Shāh ʿAbdul laṭīf bhitāī, whom his followers decorate with different names and symbols including Lakhino Laṭif, Lal Laṭif, Bhittai Ghott, Murshid Laṭif is one of most prominent poet of Kalhora Era of Indus Valley Civilization. The expression of idealsim in unique style and giving deep insight to every subject which he brought in his poetry has made a philosopher poet going shoulder to to shoulder to world famous poets. According to Allama II Kazi, the Shah of Bhit is the greatest poet of the world. In his masterpiece writings ‘casual peeps of Sophia’ and ‘brown girl in the search of God’, Allama II Kazi has compared Shāh ʿAbdul latīf bhitāī through various elements of poetic and symphonic standards to other great European poets including Shakespeare, Willam Words worth, John Miltion, Keats, Coleridge and Tennyson. Kazi terms Shah a natural poet without any bend and dint in his idea and reformation in it. He wrote what came in his heart and mind. Shāh is composer of 30 Mega Surs initiating from Kalyan to Karyal. Through his splendid metaphoric and symbolical style, the concept of Tauhīd or oneness of God is the core subject of his poetry. Shāh is peculiar poet in the mystic school of thought to have connected mysticism with Shariʿah and never goes any inch out of its ambit.
