It’s dark night and the river of love is in flood
There is water everywhere.
How am I supposed to meet Mahiwal?
If the river seems this way and I keep going I will surely drown
And if I turn back…then
I would not be living up to the promise to Mahiwal
beg you,I literally beg you,
Help me to cross the river and meet Mahiwal.
You did it always. Please do it tonight, too…oh earthen Pot…!!
I wish I was baked in fire of love like you are
But I am not. Sorry, I am helpless….oh Mahiwal’s Sohni
I am helpless….oh Mahiwal’s Sohni…!!
The two forbidden lovers went to the heaven together for eternity and the bottom of the river. The ferocious Chenab took them away from this unholy world and they became immortals in the soul of Punjab .Their bodies are buried in Shahdadpur and are worshiped by young lovers.
