Shah Abdul Latif had forsaken a life of material comfort for he was born to a background of material wealth. For those who thirst for temporal power and tyranny he expressed his dislike as:
Clean in dress, dirty of soul
Donkey worthy slaves they are
Another of his verse goes like this:
Wind blew! The sand enveloped the body,
Whatever little life left, is to see the beloved.
Bhit Shah is the only shrine anywhere in Pakistan that has a post-sunset performance of Sufi music and singing everyday of the year. The main instrument played here is the drone-flute damboro, said to have been invented by Shah Abdul Latif himself.
