Fateh Mahommad Sewhani

Fateh Mahommad Sewhani

Fateh Mahommad Sewhani, though a Hakim by profession, was a prominent literary figure of the older vanguard, who plied his facile pen at various forms of composition.

Hayat-ul-Nabi (Life of the Prophet) was his principal work in biography ; Kamal ain Zawal (Rise and Fall) a selection of moral essays, and Bahar-e-Ikhlaq (Spring of Ethics) a collection of his poetry. Aftab-e-Adab (Sun of Literature) posthumously published, dealt with the development of Sindhi language. Hakim Fateh Mahommad was a master of chaste Sindhi style, devoid of Arabic and Persian obsession, freely employing simple Sanskrit and Hindi words and phrases without any prejudice.
