"God fashioned Jakhro with his own hands,
Awe inspiring like the lion, he has curly moustache,
His generosity is akin to that of the ocean,
This conspicuous one, rides on his horse to guide the lost ones."
.....Bhitai [sur Bilawal]

Other kings are like Anirai, worthy of praise is Jakhro alone,
They were not moulded out of Jakhro's mould,
So much clay there was, of which he was made.

King Anirai, who is also mentioned in sur Sorath, instigated and bribed Bijal to cut the head of Rai Diach. Jadam Jakhro was a ruler of Sindh who was known for his generosity. Hatim Tai was a legendary philanthrophist and a generous King.

Having seen Jadam Jakhro, you forget all other Kings,
Where there exists a full pond, who would there a well sink?

Not even an instant's delay, Jadam Jakhro tolerates,
Those near this Hatim, drink and are satiate,
None may live in this world without such wine to intoxicate.

No delay does Jadam Jakhro tolerate,
"Welcome, welcome," he says always.

I see none like Jakhro in this world as a whole,
Leader of the apostles, honoured most,
The distance between him and Allah being less than two bows,
For giving me such a guide, to God I offer many thanks.
