Love Story - Heer Ranjha

 

Heer Ranjha is one of many famous Punjabi tragic love stories, other notable ones being "Sohni Mahiwal", "Mirza Sahiban" and "Sassi Punnhun".

WARIS SHAH WORK :

Waris Shah was a Punjabi Sufi poet, best known for immortalizing Heer Ranjha's love story in Punjabi literature.

Waris Shah was well-versed in Sufi. His depiction of the story of romantic love is a poetic expression of the mystical love of the human soul towards God, which is a central theme in both Sufi and Sikh mysticism.

WARIS SHAH :

His version of the legendary romance of Heer is his most notable work. Heer Waris Shah (or The Romance of Heer Ranjha, published in 1766) is thought to be based on the true story of two star-crossed lovers from the 16th century.

No one who followed him has yet been able to surpass the incredible poetic mould he created. Ibrat Nama and Ushtar Nama are two of his other well-known works. 

PLOT:

The plot revolves around two lovers: Heer, a beautiful girl from a wealthy Jaat family, and Ranjha, a poor farm boy.

RANJHA : 

Dheedo, a young man from the Ranjha clan, once lived in Takht Hazara village. He was the youngest son of a wealthy landowner, and as such, he was somewhat spoiled. He spent his days lazing in the sun and playing his flute, rather than working.

Sadly, his father passed away eventually, and the sons split the land among themselves. When the land was divided, the older brothers gave Ranjha the worst, least fertile portion because they didn't think much of the youngest. For a while, Ranjha made an effort to work his land, but in vain. He took his flute and left Takht Hazara out of disgust.

Ranjha was used to living comfortably on his family's property, so it was difficult for him to eke out a living by begging for scraps, which he did not always succeed in doing. He must, however, have had good intentions because heaven took care of him.

HEER : 

Heer, a stunning woman from Jhang, West Punjab, was born into a prosperous Sial clan family. Sials are a Rajput clan that originated in West Punjab's Jhang region and built the city of Sialkot. 

LOVE STORY :

Ranjha departs from home and travels to Jhang after receiving a reprimand from his brothers. Chaudhary Chuchak, the father of Heer, offers Ranjha a position herding his cattle. Heer captures his heart in this place. He also mesmerizes her with his flute playing, and she develops feelings for him.

Every day, Heer spent the entire day in the forest with Ranjha, bringing him milk and bread or desserts and rice. She neglected her housework, and all of her female friends. Within a short time, rumors started to circulate. 

For many years, they meet in secret before being discovered by Heer's mother Malki and her uncle Kaido.

As a result, Heer was forced to marry another man, and Ranjha left to resume his wanderings until he found refuge in the shelter of a yogi (mystic saint). 

Heer, on the other hand, refused to accept another man as her husband. Se severed ties with her family and wrote to Ranjha, begging her to return to her. Ranjha returned to Jhang and eloped with Heer, as per his ladylove's wishes.

The Khaira riders apprehend the eloping couple and mercilessly beat Ranjha. The couple is brought before Raja Adali of Qubala, who demands that Ranjha be executed. 

Heer's uncle Kaidu also came to testify against Ranjha, but Chaudhary Chuchak sided with the lovers. Raja Adali, on the advice of elders, orders Saida to divorce Heer in order for her to marry Ranjha.

TRAGIC END :

The couple returns to Heer's village, where Heer's parents approve of their marriage. Kaido, on the other hand, poisons her on the wedding day. When Ranjha learns of this, she rushes to Heer's aid, but it is too late; she has already consumed the poison and died. Ranjha, brokenhearted, eats the remaining poisoned Mithai (sweet) and dies by her side.

Heer and Ranjha are buried in Jhang, Heer's hometown. Visitors to their mausoleum include smitten couples and others.

Today, the graves of Heer and Ranjha are sought after by young lovers who want to marry the person of their choice. They pray by tying threads at the dargah's iron gates.

Love story of Zal and Rudabeh

SUMMARY :

Rudabeh, the daughter of Mehrab, who is the grandson of the demonic Zahhak, and Zal, the son of Sam, fall in love. Sam and Manuchehr initially oppose the union due to Rudabeh's connection to Zahhak, but they eventually change their minds after hearing a prophecy that Zal and Rudabeh will have a son to protect Persia who will be the most glorious son ever born.

 

The story of The Shahnameh is told through a series of miniature paintings. The miniatures shown here depict one of the story's most popular scenes: Rudabeh letting down her hair for Zal to climb.

One of the most well-known love tales in Persian mythology is that of Zal, the king of Sistan, and Rudabeh, the princess of Karbol. The story is taken from Ferdowsi's epic poem The Shahnameh, which he wrote between 977 and 1010 CE in Persia.

According to the myth, Zal had heard tales of a stunning princess with dark ringlets that reached all the way to her feet. He fell in love with Rubadeh, the princess, because of these tales. Rudabeh had also heard tales of Zal's incredible strength. The princess was intrigued and developed feelings for him.

Zal convinced his father that he wished to travel to meet the lovely princess. However, Zal's father had some bad news for her: she was a descendant of the evil serpent King Zahhak, a family enemy. Zal, however, ignored his father and travelled to her castle, determined to meet her.

Zal arrived at the foot of the castle one night after a long and perilous journey. Rudabeh noticed Zal and, in an attempt to hide his presence from the guards, let her hair down like Rapunzel for him to climb up.Once they were together, they realised their love was genuine. Their families then put their differences aside and approved the couple's marriage. 

Rudabeh's father, Kabul's King Mehrab, was an idol worshipper and the grandson of the evil Zahhk. When Iran's king, Manuchehr, learned of Zl's desire to marry Rudabeh, he refused to grant permission. Because King Manuchehr and Mehrab were mortal enemies, they had an excuse to go to war.

However, the Kabul and Iranian priests who read the stars foresaw a blessed union between Zal and Rudabeh just before war was declared.

"A powerful son will be born from Zl and Rudabeh's union. superior to any warrior who came before him. He will be the most well-known and unbeatable defender in Iran "they announced.

When the kings learned this, they both gave their blessings and consented to permit the young couple to get married. In a lovely ceremony, Zl and Rudabeh were wed in Kabul.

After a long labour, Rudabeh gave birth to a healthy son named Rostam, who later rose to fame as one of Iran's greatest warriors.

Facts about Dogs

 Dogs are wonderful because they give us love, companionship, and are always there for us. But did you know that dogs are much more complex than first appears?

🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕

Do you believe you have a complete understanding of dogs? Rethink that! Check out these intriguing details you might not have known:

🦮-🦮-🦮-🦮-🦮-🦮-🦮-🦮-🦮

🐶It has been evidenced that they can distinguish between an hour and five. They can forecast future events, such as regular walk times, if trained to do so.

🐶🐶Your dog can detect your emotions. In fact, it shouldn't come as a surprise that they can smell things like fear. When a person is afraid, they perspire, and a dog can easily detect this change.

🐶🐶🐶Dogs rely heavily on their sense of smell to find food, so they sniff a lot. Their noses are designed to allow smells to remain in their noses while air moves in and out of their lungs at the same time, allowing them to breathe freely while still determining what that smell is!

🐶🐶🐶🐶Dogs do perspire, but don't anticipate seeing damp armpits any time soon. Whereas humans produce a watery sweat to cool off, dogs produce an oily sweat that is pheromone-rich but invisible to humans (dogs can smell it because they have such keen senses of smell). Dogs only perspire like humans on their paws, so they pant to cool off instead. Because of this, it's crucial to keep your dog cool on hotter days to make things easier for them.

🐶🐶🐶Dalmatian puppies are born entirely white and gradually acquire spots as they age.

🐶🐶Petting a dog can improve both your physical and mental health. Petting a dog for few minutes has been shown in studies to lower blood pressure, reduce stress, depression, and combat loneliness.

🐶Researchers discovered that dogs' sleep patterns and brain activity are similar to humans', and that small breeds dream more than large breeds.

🐶🐶You would assume that if your dog is excited to see you, it will wag its tail in greeting. No, not always. Dogs wag their tails to the right when they're happy and to the left when they're scared, according to Discovery.com. Low tail wags indicate insecurity, while quick tail wags accompanied by tense muscles or dilated pupils may indicate aggression.

🐶🐶🐶Dogs can hear much higher frequencies than humans, but did you know they can also hear further? Dogs, in general, can hear much softer sounds than humans, allowing them to hear things that are much further away.

🐶🐶🐶🐶The Saluki is the oldest breed of dog in existence. They can be found in Egyptian tombs from 2100 B.C.
