Dr. Waheed Jatoi born in an ancient village Matoo, Larkana, Sindh.

His literary journey started in 1994 where his first ever document published and it is the factual year of his emergence as a writer. Subsequently, this erudite voyage carried off an extraordinary attainment in 1998 of his august work entitled, “Sindhi Shairi Fun Kha Fikr Taaien” (Included in prescribed M.A. Sindhi syllabus at all the general universities of Sindh), the genre of book is literary criticism and research on Sindhi Poetry. Moreover, his phenomenal philosophy based opus, “Wujudiyat Aien Sindhi Adab” (Existentialism and Sindhi Literature) was produced in 2001. This book turns out to be one of his exceptional works in the stream of social philosophy and it portrays that Waheed has a strikingly consistent development from the purely artistic to the blend of thought and emotion which ultimately makes him a brilliant philosopher, a man with a stunning intellect, a deep observer of human nature and a sharp analyst of mind.

Continuing this flawless breakthrough, his splendid piece of work the “Evening Shadows” an English poetry secured a definite place in the world of metrical composition in 2004. Following the same trend, another balanced, fine, and passionate work with delightful harmonies, “Sometimes” is published.

His book “Sometimes” is a collection of poems where the romantic poetry finds identity not through imposition on the other, nor self-love and possession of the other rather through love and self-loss. He remained immortalized through his work. The fact is that he is dark and creative and his diction is perfectly chosen. He is the gifted poet that touches the painful hearts with bitter realities. He is an inspired man who writes for Love and Truth. These two things should be at the center of all work. He achieves mastery in spontaneous voices of hearts. He seems to be the best romantic as well as classic poet in his composition. His extraordinary verses, of course, take us in the stream of ecstasy and reflect him a poetic genius with beauty of his mystical thoughts which is the real spirit of his poetry. His works and achievements of so many masterpieces, is truly notable. He is the sage, philosopher and thinker who is the first official PhD in English literature from the University of Sindh, a great man who brought about an intellectual awakening in the province.
