Here, the thought process of Sohni is described through a subtle yet expressive stanza of a poem-
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
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…!!
Here, she is seen begging the earthen pot to help her reach the other side, as if it’s ia human being. This conversation makes us realize how deeply Sohni was in love with Mahiwal.
Thus, the two forbidden lovers went to the heaven together for eternity and the bottom of the river. Moreover, the ferocious Chenab took them away from this unholy world and they became immortals in the soul of Punjab. Lastly, their bodies are buried in Shahdadpur and are worshiped by young lovers who remain motivated to fight the evil and stand up against the society for their love.
