Sindhi Lullaby Lyrics. An original lullaby inspired by Sindh, Pakistan’s southern province along the Indus River, home to ancient trade routes and Sufi poetry. Sindh was home to one of the world’s oldest urban civilizations, the Indus Valley Civilization, whose ancient city of Mohenjo-daro dates back roughly 4,500 years, and centuries later the region produced Shah Abdul Latif Bhittai, an 18th-century Sufi poet whose collected verses, the Shah Jo Risalo, remain deeply beloved and still sung across Sindh today. Here you will find the lyrics, meaning, and chords.
