Sachal
Sarmast a great sufi saint and eminent poet (1739-1829A.D.)
Was born in Daraza
village, Khairpur, Sindh. In his poetry he spoke
about God, "God is truth, truth is God".
He did not confine himself to the narrow boundaries
of religion. His name Sacho, Sachal or Sachedino
signify one who speaks truth. Sachal was also
lost in ecstasy of God; he composed his poetry
in ecstasy.
Therefore he was called
Sachal Sarmast. After Shah Latif next position
is given to Sachal Sarmast for his poetry and
open revelation of divine mysteries and message
of oneness with God. "Sachal-jo-Kalaam"
compiled by Nimano Fakir the disciple of well
known "Sakhi Sain" of Shah Daraz, is
a compilation of 700 Kalaams and 184 dohiras of
Sachal.
