Are you fan of Shah Abul Latif Bhitai ? Want to read Shah Jo Risalo ? So we have fullfil your this need Shah Jo Risalo (Sindhi: شاه جو رسالو) is the name of the compiled verses of Shah Abdul Latif Bhittai. Many scholars and linguists have published Shah Jo Risalo with their own compilations, hence its many editions are available. No single edition is believed to be the authentic, but the oldest manuscript of Shah Jo Risalo is believed to contain all the authentic verses of Bhitai. It is believed that Shah's verses were compiled in his life, but he did not like that and threw the only manuscript of his verses into a pond. Later, his devotees demanded him to write some verses, hence he told them many verses which were noted in
writing. But most of his work was never written, only memorized by people, and became popular in the folk culture of Sindh.
The traditional compilations of Shah Jo Risalo include 30 Surs (chapters) which were compiled by the renowned researchers. The oldest publications of Shah Jo Risalo contained some 36 Surs, but later most of the linguists discarded 6 Surs, as their language and content did not match with the Shah's style. Recently, Dr. Nabi Bakhsh Baloch, the most renowned linguist of Sindhi language has compiled and printed a new edition after 32 years of research in folk culture, language and history of Sindhi language.

Hate not but love, War not but peace. Today when whole world is in grip of rascal terrorism we Sindhis will proudly announce that we have the solution of peace. Listen us! We have message for all, we have our messenger in shape of Shah Latif.
