Doohangay Samandar/ڈوہنگے سمندر
“Doongay Samandar” (ڈوہنگے سمندر) is not merely a collection of poetry; it is a spiritual echo rising from the depths of the Pothohar plateau. This debut anthology by Zahoor Akhtar is a vibrant expression of the Pothohari language—a dialect rich in cultural depth, folk resonance, and mystical undertones.
The collection includes baits, dohay, and dobetis, along with rare poetic forms such as jagti, sami, mandri, kreeki phela, and adik, which are deeply rooted in local folk tradition. These verses do not merely entertain—they awaken. Their heartbeat is the timeless love for Allah and His Messenger (peace be upon him). In their cadence, one hears the spiritual tremor reminiscent of Hazrat Mian Muhammad Bakhsh and Hazrat Pir Muhammad Shah—a sacred echo of the saints of the soil.
Zahoor Akhtar’s poetry emerges from a distinguished heritage. His forefather, Sultan Muqarab Khan, was a brave and perceptive ruler of the Pothohar region. He led Ahmad Shah Abdali’s cavalry at the Third Battle of Panipat and later embraced martyrdom in the Battle of Gujarat against Sikh forces. Two centuries later, his descendant, Major Masood Akhtar—the youngest son of Raja Hasan Akhtar—was martyred in the 1965 Indo-Pak War during the historic Battle of Chawinda, at just 28 years of age.
Raja Hasan Akhtar, Zahoor Akhtar’s father, who passed away in October 1973, was one of Pakistan’s most esteemed scholars. He was among those rare souls whom Allama Muhammad Iqbal considered a close friend and confidant. His contribution to the propagation of Iqbal’s philosophy and the ideological foundation of Pakistan is permanently etched into our national history.
Among his sons, the formal poetic mantle was inherited by Mahmood Akhtar Kayani, Zahoor Akhtar’s brother, an eloquent Urdu poet who passed away prematurely in July 1975 during the prime of his life.
Zahoor Akhtar was raised in a spiritually enriched and intellectually luminous environment. His name was personally suggested by Allama Iqbal himself—a sacred honor that reflects the depth of spiritual expectations associated with his being. Nurtured in the enlightened company of a scholar-father and in the rugged, valorous landscapes of Kahuta, Zahoor Akhtar’s voice rises from the mountains, carrying with it the Hijazi tone of sincerity, longing, and spiritual clarity.
In the words of the renowned humorist and poet Syed Zamir Jafri:
“From one born of Sultan Muqarab Khan’s noble lineage, raised by a visionary like Raja Hasan Akhtar, and named by Allama Iqbal himself—what else could we expect but a poet whose voice, no matter how unique, must echo with the spirit of Hijaz.”
“Doongay Samandar” is not just a book—it is the song of a soul rooted in devotion, drenched in history, and rising with the call of a forgotten homeland. In Zahoor Akhtar’s words, the Pothohari dialect finds new breath, and through his verse, it steps forth into the poetic heritage of the subcontinent—deep, proud, and resoundingly spiritual.

Gallan Faqr Diyan Ishq Bhariyan (گلاں فقر دیاں عشق بھریاں)
The region of Pothohar has been home to many great Sufi poets, among whom Sufi Syed Akbar Aassi (صوفی سیداکبر عاصی) holds a distinguished place. Born in 1909 in the village Bhindar (بھنڈر), Islamabad, he was deeply rooted in spiritual and literary traditions. His Punjabi poetry collection, Gallan Faqr Diyan Ishq Bhariyan (گلاں فقر دیاں عشق بھریاں), is a testament to his deep devotion to Sufism, his love for the Prophet (PBUH), and his commitment to the path of divine truth.
Syed Akbar Aassi (سیداکبر عاصی) was not only a poet but also a devoted disciple of the Sufi path. His poetry blends themes of divine love, humility, and the search for ultimate truth. He beautifully expresses the struggles and joys of a seeker of truth, portraying both metaphorical and real aspects of spirituality. His words reflect his deep connection with Allah, the Prophet (PBUH), and the saints of Islam.
Life and Career
Belonging to the Rajput (راجپوت) family, Syed Akbar Aassi (سیداکبر عاصی) received his early education in his hometown. Alongside religious teachings, he completed his bAassic schooling up to the eighth grade. In 1932, he joined the Police Department (محکمہ پولیس) and served with honesty and dedication for 35 years, primarily in Delhi (دہلی) before retiring.
Even during his service, he remained deeply inclined towards Sufism. He frequently visited the shrines of saints and maintained a profound spiritual connection with the awliya (اولیاء). His devotion led him to a life centered on worship, contemplation, and poetry, which became a means to spread the message of divine love and unity.
Themes in His Poetry
The poetry of Syed Akbar Aassi (سیداکبر عاصی) revolves around several key themes:
- Divine Love (عشق حقیقی): His verses express a deep yearning for Allah and the Prophet (PBUH), emphAassizing unconditional love and devotion.
- Spiritual Poverty (فقر): Inspired by the teachings of great Sufi saints, he highlights the virtues of humility and detachment from materialism.
- Love for the Ahl al-Bayt (اہل بیت): His poetry showcases his immense respect and admiration for the family of the Prophet (PBUH).
- Guidance for Humanity: He provides spiritual wisdom on how to lead a meaningful and righteous life, free from the suffering of worldly attachments.
A Legacy Preserved
Despite living a simple life, Syed Akbar Aassi (سیداکبر عاصی) left behind a treasure trove of poetic wisdom. His profound words continue to inspire generations of readers and Sufi enthusiasts. His family, including Muhammad Shakeel Ahmad (محمد شکیل احمد), Muhammad Jameel Ahmad (محمد جمیل احمد), and Lateef Ahmad (لطیف احمد), took the noble initiative of compiling and publishing his poetry, ensuring that his message reaches a wider audience.
The book Gallan Faqr Diyan Ishq Bhariyan (گلاں فقر دیاں عشق بھریاں) serves as a guiding light for seekers of truth, encapsulating the essence of Sufism and divine love.
