Yes I know most of the Sindhi sufis follow shia ideology and had they talked against any person revered by Sunnis, they would never got the respect from Public at large and sufisim never comes against a particular person. Sufisim is believed to be originated by Hazrat Ali and there is no conflict between sufis and shias.

Shah Latif did the same thing in his poetry about Karbala. He hilighted the tragedy, but in a way which don’t offend Sunni readers.

Well, what I am saying is that there is nothing in Karbala tragedy which would offend any sunni. Be it Shah Latif or Maulana Muhammad Ali Jauhar or Allama Iqbal. Everyone mentioned Karbala, everyone condemned Yazid. And none felt like offending anyone. Because they included both Shias and Sunnis.

It was Jauhar, a Sunni, who condemned Yazid by saying:
Qatl e Hussain asl mein marg e YAZID he
Islam zinda hota he har karbala ke baad

Khwaja Chishti, another sunni, also condemned Yazid:
shah ast hussain, badshah ast hussain
deen ast hussain, deen panaah ast hussain
sar daad, na daad dast, dar dast e YAZID
haqqa k binaa e la ilaah ast hussain

Iqbal, another Sunni, says about Yazid:
Musa o Firaun, Shabbir o YAZID
Een do quwwat az hayaat aamad padeed
(Moses and Pharaoh and Hussain and Yazeed. These forces have been in struggle from the beginning.)

May be I am off topic. I am just saying that Karbala is not just a tragedy related to Shias. Sunnis own him and Karbala as well.
