# Talk:Shah Abdul Latif Bhittai

Can anyone tell me what the real ending of Umer Marvi is?
According to the one I have heard, Umer sets her free. 
But according to two sources on the internet, Khet disguises himself as a dervish and Marvi runs away with him.
The two sources are http://www.opf.org.pk/almanac/F/folktales.htm
& http://www.usp.nus.edu.sg/post/pakistan/literature/moon/moon2.html
The wikipedia article on Umer Marvi is copied from the OPF website. But the ending has been changed to say she is set free by Umer. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Umar_Marvi
Please, tell me the real ending.

Image:Shah Latif.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is  other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.  Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

heer and ranjha was not at all discussed by shah abdul latif bhitai. heer and ranjha was discussed in the poetry of waris shah of panjab.  those characters are not concerned with sindh and shah abdul latif bhitai.   for reference shah jo risalo(the magzine of shah abdul latif's poetry)      any comment on   moazzam0002@yahoo.com
You are right, Bhittai never use Heer Ranjha in his poetry. Alixafar (talk) 09:44, 2 November 2009 (UTC)

The subject's name is spelled "Bhita'i" in the title but consistently "Bhittai" in the article. Of course, the current spelling (presumaby a differing transliteration) can be retained as a redirect. --MegaSloth (talk) 01:14, 30 October 2009 (UTC)
Bhittai is correct word, in all the articles never used the word "Bhita'i". So the title Shah Abdul Latif Bhittai is more suitable. Every one can search both the words in google.com for confirmation. Alixafar (talk) 09:41, 2 November 2009 (UTC)
   The keyboard, keys, and extended-ASCII codes, and the search engines you choose for searching could make a tremendous difference. And someone should consult Arabic-studies and -literature scholars at institutions with more than one PhD in those fields. Our guy-in-a-diner research methodologies can work wonders, but sometimes fiascos(? Fiasci ?) instead.--Jerzy•t 07:51, 11 December 2018 (UTC)

Due to geocities.com closed the online poetry of Shah Abdul Latif Bhittai translated by Elsa Kazi shifted from http://geocities.com/bhittai to http://www.sindhiana.com/thebhittai/ Alixafar (talk) 09:48, 2 November 2009 (UTC)

Portions of this article are identical to parts of Life and Times of Shah Bhitai. The website in question doesn't mention Wikipedia, so someone should check if the Wikipedia article was created later than the website's page. --Jashiin (talk) 11:53, 13 August 2010 (UTC)

   That opinion abt what should be done is far from definitive, and likely misses the point.... If the site's newer than our first publication of the wording, it doesn't rule out a copy vio by us; if it is actually older than when we added the relevant wording to ours, it doesn't establish that the colleague who added it here got it from a copyright-eligible commentary, rather than from an unprotected work. (The poet's rights, BTW, are nonexistent bcz he wrote too early for the verse itself to be eligible for protection, and even any rights granted by sovereigns so early are unlikely to have been sustained by more recent ones!) The only relevant circumstance is a work carrying notice of a still valid copyright dated earlier than its addition to WP! --Jerzy•t 03:53, 11 December 2018 (UTC)
Note to self, and perhaps to similarly situated colleagues: don't bother cursing the colleague who jumps in with a responding edit 20 minutes after yours, but (1) bear in mind that a bot is likely to do so bcz you left undated template calls in yr prior edit, and (2) copy and paste the summary for your new edit back onto the bottom of the new revision you tried and failed to save, then copy the new version plus the summary into your paste buffer, and (3) start a new edit session on the same article's same section,  or same talk page's same section "that the 'architects' cast aside",  by pasting over it with the paste buffer, to be "the new head and capstone", then cut and paste the summary portion from the edit box to the comment or reply box. If you remember, fill in the bot's summary in the edit comment box, followed by your own comment &/or retort, and hit save. Now, things aren't as bad as they seemed, are they? (And am I right, that you'll now be offered the opportunity for a closing and retorting summary? Let's see: Jerzy•t 06:21, 11 December 2018 (UTC)
Yeah, it's called a Reply here on a article-talk page, instead of a summary. Bazinga!

Jerzy•t 06:24, 11 December 2018 (UTC)

    I guess I lied, & I'm sorry; I think every subsequent addtion, to  a tk pg secn (at least using the

Pad2 interface i) s called  a reply, and I dunno whether the first edit to each talk    How the first.    Is solicited.--Jerzy•t

@Ashiqilahi123: Your edit(s) here added reference(s) — {{sfn|Ameena Khamisani|1996}}, {{sfn|Muhammad Yakoob Agha|1985}}, {{sfn|Agha Saleem|1996}} — that did not point to a citation.  Can this error be fixed? —GoldRingChip 20:41, 4 October 2024 (UTC)

hello, sorry but i am not that well-versed in this type of editing. these are the respective translation citations, will be greatly indebted if you add them or teach me how to.

@Ashiqilahi123: OK. {{sfn}} means "Short footnote" which is basically pointing to a citation that's elsewhere in the article, sometimes in a "Bibliography" section. Let's do them one at a time: you added {{sfn|Ameena Khamisani|1996}}. Is there a reference dated 1996 perhaps written by Ameena Khamisani?  If so, then instead of {{sfn}}, you could just replace it with: {{Cite book |last=Khamisani |first=Ameena |title=<<Book Title>> |date=1996}}. You can learn more about that template at {{Cite book}}. —GoldRingChip 19:36, 9 October 2024 (UTC)
@Ashiqilahi123 I've added the sources and modified the sfns to point to them in these two edits.  Note that, per the pages you linked, the Khamisani source was published in 2012 and the Saleem source in 2015.  Best, Wham2001 (talk) 12:25, 10 November 2024 (UTC)
