Umar Marvi - Sindhi Folk Tale - سنڌي لوڪ ۡڪھااڻي - عمر مارئي

Umar Marvi (or Marui; ) is a folktale story from Sindh, Pakistan about a village girl Marvi, who resists the overtures of a powerful King and the temptation to live in the palace as a queen, preferring to be in a simple rural environment with her own village folk. It dates back to the 14th century.

The protagonist of the story is Marvi, a young Khaskheli girl of the Panhwar tribe abducted by the then-ruler of Amarkot, Umar Soomro, who wanted to marry her because of her beauty. Upon her refusal, she was imprisoned in the historic Amarkot Fort for several years. Because of her courage, Marvi is regarded as a symbol of love for one's soil and homeland.
