HEER RANJHA

Ranjha quarrels with his brothers and their wives and leaves his home in Takht Hazara TAKHT HAZARA1 is a pleasant place on the banks of the river Chenab. There streams are flowing and gardens smiling. It is a Paradise on earth. It is the abode of the Ranjhas2 who live there in proud luxury. Their young men are heedless and handsome and care naught at all for any man. They lord it with earrings in their ears and new shawls over their shoulders. They are proud of their beauty and each one out-rivals the other in his glory.
