Sassui Punnhun[a] or Sassi Punnu[b] is a traditional Sindhi, Balochi[1][2], and Punjabi tragic folktale.

Set in Sindh and Makran, the tragedy follows the story of a faithful lover who endures many difficulties while seeking her beloved husband who was separated from her by rivals.

The other six are Umar Marvi, Momal Rano, Sohni Mehar, Lilan Chanesar, Sorath Rai Diyach, and Noori Jam Tamachi.

[11] Punnhun (also spelt as Punnu) was the son of Jam Aali or Ari, a Baloch ruler of Kech, Balochistan.

God listened to her prayers, the land shook and split and Sassui found herself buried in the valley of mountains.

Punnhun also lamented the same prayer, the land shook and split again and he was also buried in the same mountain valley as Sassui.

Shah Abdul Latif Bhittai sings this historic tale in his Sufi poetry as an example of eternal love and union with the divine.

[16] But according to the retold Punjabi tale by Hashim Shah, Sassui dies while crossing the desert.

[17] Sassui and Punnhun's alleged graves are located near Lasbela, Balochistan, 45 miles west of Karachi.

[22] The "King of Qawali", Ustad Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, mentions Sassi in a verse of one of his most famous songs Tum Ek Gorak Dhanda Ho written by the poet Naz Khialvi.

Sasui Puno is a play written in Sindhi by Indian writer Ram Panjwani.
