Hello:

Thanks for allowing me an opportunity to answer your question. 

The real name of the poet Sachal Sarmast is Abdul Wahab, as evident by
a brief bibliography of the famous Sindhi poet on pages:

http://www.sindhlink.net/sindh/sachal.html

http://www.thesindh.com/NationalPoets/sachal.htm

There is a whole website devoted to him at
http://www.sachalsarmast.com

His genealogy can be found at
http://www.sachalsarmast.com/Home/genealogy.html

The answer to the question. Why was he known as Sachal Sarmast is
because he was the very first of the sub-continent poets to sing and
write against the autocratic government of his times. Sachal or Sacho
means truthful while people began calling him Sarmast because he
regularly remained in a trance like state. That is from where the term
Sachal Sarmast originated.

I presume that the above explanation will be useful. If you need any
further explanations, please clarify and I will work with you in
answering any more queries. Thanks for asking.

Useful Terms:

"Sachal Sarmast"
"real name of Sachal Sarmast"
"Sachal Sarmast information"

Sincerely,
leader-ga
