Seth Gagandas, a devoted admirer, and the founder of Shaikh Ayaz Yadgar Committee, arranges the ceremony each year. Joyo was among many writers, poets, intellectuals, fans and journalists who came to pay homage to the poet on his death anniversary. “Ayaz wanted to be buried near Bhitai whom he considered to be his spiritual mentor,” said 97-year-old Muhammad Ibrahim Joyo, Ayaz’s friend of 40 years. The 14th death anniversary of Sindhi poet, Shaikh Ayaz, was observed on Wednesday.Ī commemorative ceremony was organised at the poet’s mausoleum, which is situated right next to the shrine of Shah Abdul Latif Bhittai in Bhitt Shah, by the Qarar Lake.
