Sohni Mahiwal-Punjabi Folk Painting
Each moment when I saw him
I feel like Almighty’s grace
At night the moon’s drowning
made me feel wander…
What have I made with the clay
It was love and it was grace
though about love…
oh mahiwal…where we have been
because…love is what we are made of..
though,all the might is grace
The face of the moon in a black blue sky.
therefore, lets go to the heaven…
The blissful union...
-Artist Gurdish Pannu
