Dear daughter, get up.
Baba, i can hear the kettle drums beating at the dargah of Bekas.
Yes, dear daughter, hear the sound of the kettle drums for the last time, we may never get to hear it again. I dread to think that we will not be able to light a lamp at the religious place of Bekas and Bedil. We will not be able to see Darazaa, dear daughter.

April 10 has since then been celebrated as SIndhiyat day and World SIndhi Language Day. This year it coincides with Sindhi New Year.
During the drafting of the Constitution of India in 1950, all major 14 languages were included in the VIII schedule, but Sindhi was excluded. However, after a series of conferences organized by the "Akhil Bharat Sindhi Sahitya ain Boli Sabha" and persistent efforts and petitions, Sindhi was eventually included in the Constitution through the Twenty-first Amendment on April 10, 1967. Prof B H Nagrani, the then-president of Sabha and a petitioner, addressed the 10th Sammelan.
Professor Ram Panjwani, an author, poet, folk singer, and recipient of the Sahitya Academy award (later Padmashri), regarded as one of the flag bearers of Sindhiyat, is seen performing here.
The first 'Akhil Bharat Sindhi Sahit Sammelan' took place in 1958 on the lawns of the University of Bombay. During the struggle for the inclusion of Sindhi as a recognized Indian language, proponents of both scripts collaborated. However, after the Sindhi language was recognized by the 21st amendment to the constitution, there was a split among the groups. At the Sammelan held the following year in Alwar, it was decided that the Sabha would serve as a platform for the advancement of the original Sindhi script, also known as the Arabic-based script. Kirat Babani is seen presiding over the meeting.
