No monument, no library and museum in the name of Shaikh Ayaz


SHAIKH AYAZ شيخ اياز


(poet in Shikarpur on 2nd March 1923, died on 28th December 1997 and buried at Bhitt Shah, near the shrine of Sindh’s greatest poet Shah Abdul Latif Bhittai)

He is matchless and it is our pride, he belongs to Shikarpur and there are many poets in shikarpur but they just quote him and admire that Ayaz did well, but it is fact, nobody has tried to erect a monument of Shaikh Ayaz in Shikarpur even the whole Sindh is empty in this regard.

There should be some monuments in Sindh and at his birth place (Shikarpur). The circumstances have proved very much tough and everyone is chasing after one's own interests. It is not criticism, we all are away from doing such things, I am also including, that is why, my comments be not thought to be personal.

civilized societies have made monuments, libraries and museums in the name of their national poets and writers, but we are lacking in this regard.

Rizwan Gul!

Your design, font and selection is laudable. Keep on working and I must appreciate Agha Tareen, who has worked on Ayaz very accordingly, I don't know, why, he is silent now a days. All friends should ponder over the points, I have risen here, and even no standard website regarding our national poet is developed yet.

Is it not irony?! We are lacking enough, what Ayaz said, it was deeply rooted in our society, he attacked darkness and spread the message of love and constant struggle, we should also do like this. Have a good moment all my friends and take care!
