Jina Chahunde haan per Zindagi raas nahi aundi,
Marna chahunde haan per Maut sadde pass nahi aundi,
Bahut Udaas haan asin is Zindagi ton.......
Teri Yaad sanu Tadpaon ton baaz nahi aundi

usne dhokha v na ditta, usto vafa v na hoi,
asi hoge vakho vakh, jind kalli kalli roi.
samne bethke je dukh kendi, te jar asi lende,
usde nena vicho majburiya nu padh asi lende,
pehla hi si door metho, aaj bhot door hoi,
asi hoge vakho vakh, jind kalli kalli roi

saade pyar baare koi bol sake,
kise di nahi aini majaal honi chahidi,
j kite ho jaave saade dovaan cho kise di tabiyan kharaab,
saade pakh'on ik-duje di poori dekh-bhaal honi chahidi,
saade pyar da rishta aina paak hove is jagg te,

sajjna saade pyar di kahani aini kamaal honi chahidi,
k rabb vi aakhe...
Sadi qabar usdi mehbooba de naal honi chahidi...

Mirza–Sahiban : Love-Lore : Treasure of Punjabi Literature Mirza–Sahiban, a love-lore is a treasure of Punjabi literature. It is a romantic tragedy. Sahiban was another love-lorn soul. Shayer Pillo raves about her beauty and says,” As Sahiban stepped out with a lungi tied around her waist, the nine angels died on seeing her beauty and God started counting his last breath…”
Mirza and Sahiban who were cousins and childhood playmates, fell in love with each other. But when this beauty is about to be wedded forcibly to Tahar Khan by her parents, without any hesitation she sends a taunting message to Mirza, whom she loves, to his village Danabad, through a Brahmin called Kammu.
“You must come and decorate Sahiban’s hand with the marriage henna.”
This is the time you have to protect your self respect and love, keep your promises, and sacrifice your life for truth. Mirza who was a young full-blooded man, makes Sahiba sit on his horse and rides away with her. But on the way, as he lies under the shade of a tree to rest for a few moments, the people who were following them on horseback with swords in their hands catch up with them.
Sahiba was a virtuous and a beautiful soul who did not desire any bloodshed to mar the one she loved. She did not want her hands drenched in blood instead of henna. She thinks Mirza cannot miss his target, and if he strikes, her brothers would surely die. Before waking up Mirza, Sahiban puts away his quiver on the tree. She presumes on seeing her, her brothers would feel sorry and forgive Mirza and take him in their arms. But the brothers attack Mirza and kill him. Sahiban takes a sword and slaughters herself and thus bids farewell to this world.
Waris shah who sings the tale of Heer elevates mortal love to the same pedestal as spiritual love for God saying,” When you start the subject of love, first offer your invocation to God”. This has always been the custom in Punjab, where mortal love has been immortalized and enshrined as spirit of love.
Just as every society has dual moral values, so does the Punjabi community. Everything is viewed from two angles, one is a close up of morality and the other is a distant perspective. The social, moral convictions on one hand give poison to Heer and on the other make offerings with spiritual convictions at her tomb, where vows are made and blessings sought for redemption from all sufferings and unfulfilled desires.

Eddi karma vaali saadi raat kithe...

Assi Panchi Tere Baagan De
Kise Hor Baag Nai Beh Sakde
Tere Haaseyan Ton Jind Vaar Deiye
Par Dukh Tere Nai Seh Sakde
Duniya Chaahe Saanu Lakh Chad De
Asi Bas Tere Baajo Nai Reh Sakde
Sadi Khamoshi Samjh Sake Tan Samaj Lavi ,
Har Ik Gal Jubaano Nai Keh Sakde.

Je Jind Muk Gyi Tere Pyar Ch Meri
Tu Na Samji Khud Nu Ksurvar Mera
Kade Kari Na Shikwa Apne Nal Koi
Eh Soch Layi K Sath C Ina Tera Mera
Rehndi Zindgi Khushi Nal Bita Layi
Kade Laen Na Bullan Te Na Mera
Rab Kare Tenu Mil Jaye Mere Ton Changa
Fer Aave Na Tenu Chete Eh Pyar Mera.

 Sohni was the daughter of a potter named Tula, who lived in Punjab near the banks of the Chenab River. As soon as the Surahis (water pitchers) and mugs came off the wheels, she would draw floral designs on them and transform them into masterpieces of art.
Izzat Biag, the rich trader form Balakh Bukhara, came to Hindustan on business but when he saw the beautiful Sohni he was completely enchanted. Instead of keeping mohars (gold coins) in his pockets, he roamed around with his pockets full of love. Just to get a glimpse of Sohni he would end up buying the water pitchers and mugs everyday.
Sohni lost her heart to Izzat Baig. Instead of making floral designs on earthenware she started building castles of love in her dreams. Izzat Baig sent off his companions to Balakh Bukhara. He took the job of a servant in the house of Tula, the potter. He would even take their buffaloes for grazing. Soon he was known as Mahiwal (potter).
When the people started spreading rumors about the love of Sohni and Mahiwal, without her consent her parents arranged her marriage with another potter.
Suddenly, one day his barat (marriage party) arrived at the threshold of her house. Sohni was helpless and in a poignant state. Her parents bundled her off in the doli (palanquin), but they could not pack off her love in any doli (box).
Izzat Baig renounced the world and started living like a fakir (hermit) in a small hut across the river. The earth of Sohni’s land was like a dargah (shrine) for him. He had forgotten his own land, his own people and his world. Taking refuge in the darkness of the night when the world was fast asleep Sohni would come by the riverside and Izzat Baig would swim across the river to meet her. He would regularly roast a fish and bring it for her. It is said that once due to high tide he could not catch a fish, so he cut a piece of his thigh and roasted it. Seeing the bandage on his thigh, Sohni opened it, saw the wound and cried.
From the next day Sohni started swimming across the river with the help of an earthen pitcher as Izzat Baig was so badly wounded, he could not swim across the river. Soon spread the rumors of their romantic rendezvous. One-day Sohni’s sister-in-law followed her and saw the hiding place where Sohni used to keep her earthen pitcher among the bushes. The next day her sister-in-law removed the hard baked pitcher and replaced it with an unbaked one. At night when Sohni tried to cross the river with the help of the pitcher, it dissolved in the water and Sohni was drowned. From the other side of the river Mahiwal saw Sohni drowning and jumped into the river.
This was Sohni’s courage, which every woman of Punjab has recognized, applauded in songs: "Sohni was drowned, but her soul still swims in water..."

Mujhase Mohabbat Ka Izhaar Karati,
Kaash Koi Ladki Mujhe Pyar Karati..
Wo Bechain Hoti Main Betaab Hota
Nigaaho Mein Usaki Mera Khwab Hota
Sharmaake Wo Lagati Gale Rakhata Use Palko Tale
Chori Chori Wo Mera Didaar Karati..
Mujhase Mohabbat Ka Izhaar Karati,
Kaash Koi Ladki Mujhe Pyar Karati. 8->

Jadon Asi Bulaya Boli Nahi,
Kade Aap Bulayengi Yaad Rakhi,
Jadon Sare Buhe Band Hoge,
Dar Sade Hi Aaengi Yaad Rakhi,
Sukh Vele Tenu Mil Jana Har Koi,
Dukh Vele Kise Nu Na Kol Payengi Yaad Rakhi,
Mehfilan Ch Haini Tenu''RaJ'' Di Koi Load,
Tanhayi Wich Mainu Hi Labhna Chayengi Yaad Rakhi,
Jadon Tak Paini Sade Pyar Di Kadar Odo Tak Saadi Eh Jind Muk Jani Ae,
Pher Sadi Kabar Te Hanjua De Deep Jagayengi Yaad Rakhi.
