This is not a good performance of Sur Sasui Abri......It has many mistakes.....It has actually been spoiled by Juman Shah who leads the Friday night Raag at the shrine.....This is not Shah Jo Raag because it is never sung correctly by Juman's Toli (group........

Juman is actually spoiling Shah Jo Raag.....Not even us Sindhiss can understand the particularities of Shah Jo Raag....except the ones who are simple and poor....We the educated class are totally oblivious about this Raag as we dont know how it wrks and what is its original shape and how it is sung correctly.......The Sadd or the Call of this Sur has been given improperly by Juman who is leading the raag and many other things which are ver complex to define........

ڪونهي اُتِ ڪوهيارُ، جِتِ تو، ڀورِي! ڀانـئِيو؛ پَنڌُ مَ ڪَرِ پَهاڙَ ڏي، وُجُودُ ئِي وَڻِڪارُ؛ ڌارِيا ڀانـئِجِ ڌارَ، پُڇُ پِريان ڪَرَ پاڻُ تون.سُر سسئي آبري شاه جو رسالو Translation : Nadeem Junejo HE is Not There Where You're  Don't Walk on Mountains in HIS Search, He is within You, Why are You Asking Strangers Abo-ut HIM ,Ask Yourself About HIM - Sur -Sassi Shah Abdul Latif Bhittai

sur sassui the melodious cry ever by sindhi sufi mystic shah latif bhittai 

مُحَبَّتَ جن جي مَنَ ۾، تن تِشۡنَگِي تارِ؛ پِي پِيالو اُڃ جو، اُڃَ سي اُڃَ اُٿِيارِ؛ پُنهون پاڻَ پِيارِ، ته اُڃَ سِين اُڃَ اُجھائِيان.

Besides their message of love and harmony, Shah’s poetry and music compositions have always been popular among Sindh’s old and young.

The tradition of Faqirs singing at the shrine is 300-year old. They sing Shah’s verses to the accompaniment of Tambooro (a variation of an Arabic stringed instrument, invented by Shah Latif) almost round the clock.

There are 80 Faqirs who sing in 14 groups with each group assigned a day or a night.

A singing session usually starts with Sur Kalyan, opening chapter of Shah jo Risalo, the anthology of Shah Latif, flowed by other Surs, according to time of the day and season.

In monsoon, Sur Sarang (the rain raga) is sung and on the 14th night of a lunar month, Sur Khambhat is sung. Shah addresses moon in Sur Khambhat as he praises the beauty of his beloved and narrates the pain of separation.

In the middle of the session comes Sur Suhni with a particular prayer called Suhni ji Dua.

The popular Sur Rano is sung at late night and the session comes ends with Sur Marui early in the morning.
