The Abro, Abra or Abrah (Urdu: ابڑو ), (Sindhi ابڙو), (Arabic أبرهة) is a division of the Samma tribe, found in Sindh, Balochistan and southern Punjab provinces of Pakistan.
The period of Samma rule in Sindh is considered a period of literary and cultural heights. Two centuries later, the famous Sufi poet Shah Abdul Latif Bhittai was still singing their praises in `Sur Bilawal': ``When Alauddin came astride his furious elephants, Jam Abro tied his shield and the whole field shone with sabres. The Samma came to the rescue of damsels in distress - and then all was well.
In the ancient Abro tradition, Saam (protection) was in vogue. The following contemporary evidence exists. Abro, the protector of Soomra womenfolk in Dastan Dodo-Chanesar, says:
The first Chief of the Abro tribe was Sardar Mir Muhammad Khan Abro, of Abra village (now called Naich) in Larkana District, Sindh. He arranged the construction of the Ghar Waah (Canal) from the Indus River in 1628 AD, which contributed greatly to the local economy.
You run for cover
Stick your head in the sand
You deny you're wrong
Say you don't understand
The ways and means
Don't mean a thing with no green
And your, body of work
Ain't nobody to be seen
The only choice to make is
Paper or plastic
So ya, do something drastic
And ya make it fantastic
You keep on fishin' for
A way to succeed
It's the, only way
For the big dogs to eat
Just ride the wave
Everybody rave
Don't be a slave
To the things you crave
Temptation make you
Want the things you don't need
Buy them, boogie shoes
And spend to
Feed the greed
You spin the wheel
And play the numbers you feel
Bet them double zeroes
And you'll, be a hero
Just ride the wave
Everybody rave
Don't be a slave
To the things that you crave
Feeble
Evil
Boring
People
Sneaky
Freaky
Lonely
Schemers
Fowling
Scowling
Bottom
Feeders
Musing
Amusing
In
Betweeners
Just ride the wave
Everybody rave
Don't be a slave
To the things you crave
