Saami (A Sindhi form of Swami) was a born in Shikarpur, Sindh. He was one of the three most beloved Sufis and the greatest poets that the ancient land of Sindh
has ever produced. Saami (1743-1850 AD) He was a rich merchant in the heyday of Shikarpur, one who travelled far and
wide but lived a simple life with few posessions, giving away his
wealth in good works. Some pearls and diamonds of Saami's lilting and enchanting poetry are given below:
"How boastful is he,
Believing he is a Pundit!
To the lessons of the Vedas he listens,
But humility he does not acquire,
The Lord lives within,
That the blind cannot see,
Only the pure of heart, o Sami!
Shall find the Supreme."
Ggalihiyuun vedani juun bbudhi, maramu na rakhani manu,
Thakuru vase ghara men, so andhaa kiina ddisani,
Lakhiyaa lahani, 'Saamii' supiriian khe."
