Jakhro

The Jakhro and Jākhro (جکرو/جاکرو) are two Sindhi Sammat tribes of Sindh, Pakistan. One is a subdivision of the Abro Sammat tribe.

History
The Jakhro tribe has been praised by the famous Sindhi poet Shah Abdul Latif Bhittai. The compilation of the verses could be found in Shah Jo Risalo, where the sur (chapter) is Bilawal. The English translation of this chapter has been done by Elsa Kazi,. A sample of the translation is given below:

Jakhro is worthy, and the rest bear nothing but the title of 'king' ;         جَکِرو جَسَ کَرو، ٻِيا سَڀِ اَنِيرا؛

Others were created in the same way that Jakhro was;             جِيائِين جُڙيو جَکِرو، تِيائِين نه ٻِيا؛

Clay needed for his make so rare for him was just enough. مِٽِي تَنهِن ماڳا، اَصُلُ هُئِي ايتِرِي
