Four poems
In the court of the Naked Sarmad in the court of the Naked Sarmad Poem in every man's heart, each man has a bit of an ocean every man has a thought behind all the news and all the views in every man dances a peacock with swords floating down one's throat every age, its own puzzle. | A poet's country a poet's country then he travels further his eyes. Roheena (to a girl from Khyber Pass) suppose in the imagination of the tribes suppose in the imagination of the tribes suppose in the imagination of the tribes yes this imagination but when she finally arrives in Peshawar |

* The young Sindhi poet Hassan Dars was killed in a road accident on 16 June 2011. He was just 43 years old. The people of Sindh saw Hassan give his first public recital in 1987, at a literary gathering of the Sindhi Adbi Sangut. Shaikh Ayaz, the doyen of Sindhi poetry, after his long silence through the Zia ul-Haq years, was making a rare public appearance. Hassan read his epic poem 'Nange sarmad je hazoor' (In the court of the Naked Sarmad), and immediately came to be seen as the rightful heir to Ayaz. Over the next 23 years, Hassan became a legend of sorts. Students framed his poems and hung them in their hostel rooms; every new piece of poetry he wrote was considered an event. Nobody knows how and when it was decided, but for all practical purposes he was crowned Sindh's national poet, without ever having published even a single collection of his work.
