HYDERANAD: Prof Zulfiqar Ali Bhatti, a lecturer at Hyderabad University has set a national level record by writing the longest English poem ever written by any Pakistani poet. Unshed Tears, an epic poem which has recently been published by Fiction House Lahore, with 620 lines is the longest English poem ever written by any Pakistani poet. Talking to the Daily News Bhatti said that Unshed Tears is an epic poem that is written against the current attitude of committing suicide by the hopeless or unsuccessful youths. This poem with a touch of the historical events, tells the readers not to give up and fight for the survival even if apparently there are no chances of the survival.
Known for his contribution in the field of education and literature since 20 years, Professor Zulfiqar Ali Bhatti does not only believe in teaching but also believes in spreading knowledge through books as much as he can. He has published more than 200 books in English, Sindhi, Urdu, Science, and Social studies. He has also written English to the Sindh dictionary as well so that English learning could be made easy for students.
He started writing books 15 years ago, with the main focus on academic books to groom and polish students more. His books are also read by students in different schools. A rising Sindhi poet who composes his creativity in the English language displays his values through his English poetry which touches a great deal of rational and classical states. His forthcoming poetry book in English would be a great addition to the literary representation of his life and the land.
Mr. Bhatti aims to contribute to the field of literature and to make the process of learning easy for the students who had to experience distress following their textbooks which carried hard content that they were unable to understand.
He believes that he is still learning from society and his seniors, and will keep writing to make things easy for students. Besides writing for students, Professor Bhatti has also authored a book of poetry in English titled Unshed Tears that has got the attention of literary critics.
