The story of Heer Raanjha like that Romeo and Juliet and Laila Majnu, is an immortal love legend of the land of the five rivers. It has been immortalised, in his own inimitable style, by the greatest poet of the Punjab, Waris Shah. . Raanjha, who belonged to the Zamindari family in the village of Takht Hazara, saw Heer for the first time when he went as a member of a marriage party to her village, Jhang. It was a case of love at first sight, even though the two could not meet. Since then Raanjha was moon-struck. . His eight brothers and eight sisters-in-law became hostile to him because he started neglecting his work in the fields. The friction between them came to a head one day, and Raanjha had to leave his ancestral home. . He left for Heers village where he managed to meet her and declared his love. Since the families of Heer and Ranjha, like the families of Montague and capuletes, were sworn enemies, he had to connive with Heer and stayed in her village as a cowherd in her fathers employ. . Soon their love developed into a stage of ectasy till Heers uncle Kaido appeared on the scene, to disrupt their ennobling love, Despite her uncles vilanious machinations, Heers father agreed to give her away in marriage to Raanjha but soon the vicious Kaido with the connivance of Heers mother got the upper hand. They conspired to give away Heer in marriage to saida a welathy man from another village But before the marriage according to the Muslim rights and laws, she bluntly refused. . No arguments or threat could bend her will. The marriage party and the bridegroom waited anxiously for the consent leading to a near crisis. . Heers uncle bribed the Kazi to tell a lie and say that Heer had given her consent to the marriage so she was sent away with a husband whom she could never accept as her life partner, as she could never think of forfeiting her love for Raanjha. . The love-lorn Raanjha was heart-broken and wandered from place to place seeking solace. He even tried to seek the refuge of saints and sadhus-but he could not forget Heer. . In the meantime Heer refused to accept Saida as her husband, and would not let the marriage be consumated. . One day, in the grab of a wandering fakir, Raanjha came to Heers home The two managed to meet, and decided to elope. . But as they were escaping, the husband and his friends caught them. The Rajas police took charge of them. The Raja opened a case, and in a dramatic Durbar trail, the Kazi who had told the lie, broke down under cross examination and confessed. . Obviously, Heer, who was never married to Saida was allowed to go home and was free to marry Raanjha at last. . Her friends in her village, who always sympathised with her, were jubilant. The marriage was held on a grand scale and Raanjha came with his baraat and she was duly married to him. . But as she was taking leave of her friends and family, her wily uncle, the villain Kaido, gave her poision mixed in sweets. . As Heer sat in her Doli as a bride, she did not know that in the next few minutes her love for Ranjha would come to a tragic end.
