Rhyme Time
Love story
In the place of
Takht Hazara
Lived a boy named
Dhido Ranjha
His father had
died
And left some
barren land behind
He was the
youngest of four brothers
Who quarreled with
him on silly matters
So he left the
place
In search of a
friend to face the fate
He met Heer Saleti
suddenly
And both fell in
love exultantly
Heer asked her
father to keep Ranjha as a servant
And told Ranjha to
be patient
Her father had
agreed
Ranjha was caught
in many a
difficult deed
Ranjha became a
cowhand
For 12 years even
though he was a king
But for the sake
of Heer’s love
It was just
nothing
And this shows the
meaning of
love for him
Day by day the
love between them was rising
And soon Heer’s
wicked uncle Khaidon came to know everything
Heer was forcibly
married to a Khera King
Whereas Ranjha
became a jogi and left behind many things
Heer could not
forget Ranjha
So she quietly
fled to Takht Hazara
Soon they both met
in a garden
Where she
discovered that Ranjha
Could lead to
bridge of Salvation
For the marriage
of Heer and Ranjha
Her mother and
father had agreed
But unfortunately
Khaidon
poisoned Heer
When Ranjha got
the news
He rushed to
confirm other
people’s views
Heer died in his
lap
And Ranjha in his
wrath collapsed
But for all the
lovers they are still alive
And for them, they
are the best guide
