This looks an interesting article on a topic that has already been included in Did you know. The poetry examples also encourage further interest in the topic. I will start the review shortly. simongraham (talk) 10:15, 4 July 2021 (UTC)

 * The lead mentions that Hala Haweli is near Hyderabad, Sindh while in the main text, it mentions Hala, Sindh. Is there a reason for the discrepancy?
 * Done. AhmadLX-(Wikiposta) 18:24, 11 July 2021 (UTC)


 * Mention of Fatimah is made in the lead but not in the main text. Please add a referenced mention.

 * "At the age of around 20, his falling in love with Saida Begum, a daughter of an Arghun aristocrat of Kotri Mughal, Mirza Mughal Beg, landed Latif's family in trouble and had to return to Hala Hawel" Please check the grammar. I suggest "At the age of around 20, he fell in love with Saida Begum, a daughter of an Arghun aristocrat of Kotri Mughal, Mirza Mughal Beg, which landed Latif's family in trouble and caused them return to Hala Hawel."

 * "It was perhaps during these travels that his poetic nature came to the fore" Consider rewording as per WP:NPOV.

 * "Rumi has expressed similar idea in his verses" et seq. Is this original research as per WP:ORIGINAL?
 * No, it is a sourced claim; please see [24] (Lashari & Awan 2014, p. 53).


 * "During Latif's lifetime, Sindh transitioned from Delhi based Mughal rule to local Kalhora dynasty." Consider "During Latif's lifetime, Sindh transitioned from Delhi based Mughal rule to the local Kalhora dynasty."

 * "Latif's poetry is popular among the commons folk in Sindh, including both Muslims and Hindus." I suggest removing this statement as it is unqualified, vague and unreferenced. The term "commons folk" is also not standard English.
 * It is a sourced claim. I have changed it a bit. <i style="color:teal">AhmadLX</i>-(<i style="color:brown">Wikiposta</i>) 18:24, 11 July 2021 (UTC)


 * "The Urs, annual commemorative death ceremony of his, commences every year on 14 Safar (2nd month of the Hijra calendar) and lasts for three days, featuring prayers, music, exhibitions, literary conferences, and horse races." I suggest replacing with. "The Urs, an annual commemoration of his death, occurs on 14 Safar, the second month of the Hijra calendar. The ceremony, which lasts for three days, features prayers, music, exhibitions, literary conferences, and horse races."
 * Done. <i style="color:teal">AhmadLX</i>-(<i style="color:brown">Wikiposta</i>) 18:24, 11 July 2021 (UTC)


 * The list of major works in the infobox is not shared in the main text. I suggest adding a section in the main body called something relevant and providing a full list.
 * The only major work is his Risalo and it is mentioned in the text. The others were basically unsubstantiated claims, added in the earlier version of the article that I forgot to remove. Now done. <i style="color:teal">AhmadLX</i>-(<i style="color:brown">Wikiposta</i>) 18:24, 11 July 2021 (UTC)


 * The link to Shackle, 2013, does not go to the article.
