The arrangements are made by the Sachal Sarmast Yadgar Committee. The Urs at the shrine of Sachal Sarmast goes on for three days including a mehfil-e-sama and mushaira. It starts on the 13th day of Ramadan, in Daraza Sharef near Gambat taluka, Khaipur, Sindh. His urs is celebrated every year with great excitement. He did not remarry and instead, spent his whole life in Daraza. He later married his uncle’s daughter who died two years after the wedding. He was then raised by his uncle named Pir Khawaja Abdul Haq who became the spiritual master of Sachal Sarmast. In English, Sachal means “truthful” and Sarmast stands for “Ecstatic” while Sachal Sarmast literally means “truthful mystic” His father’s name was Mian Salahuddin and he died when he was a child. At that time, he was ruler of Khairpur state. His mausoleum was built by Mir Rustam Khan Talpur. Sachal Sarmast was born in 1739 and died in 1827. In fact, his poetry is said to be able to resurrect a dead soul. His beautiful poetry is sung by numerous singers. He spread the study of theological matters among the people and inspired many of them with his preaching. The mystic Hussain ibn Masuri Al Hallaji came to Sindh from Gujarat. It is the belief of some experts that Sufism arrived in Sindh in the 18th century through both the poetry and philosophy of saints, and mong all Sufi Saints, Shah Abdul Latif Bhittai and Sachal Sarmast holds a distinguished status. They depend on different crops to run their households such as rice, wheat, mangoes, and bananas. These Sufis taught lessons of peace and brotherhood and so the people of Sindh are hospitable to everyone. I would like to highlight a few names of prominent Sufi Saints such as Sachal Sarmast, Lal Shahbaz Qalandar, Shah Inayat Shah, Sayed Misri, Rohal Faqir, Qadir Bux Bedil, Makhdoom Bilalwal, and Budhal Faqir. It is widely known that Sindh is the land of Sufi philosophers, mystics and poets, and the people of Sindh are very humble, hardworking and intellectual.
