Heer Ranjha



The beauty of Allah's earth.....................................................
A scene you will probably never get to see. This is the sunset at the North Pole with the moon at its closest point. You also see the sun below the moon.


This beautiful photo was sent to me by a friend who I have a very bizarre relationship with.

It is non existent in a very extreme sort of way.
Every year without fail a message will come through via email or sms messaging wishing me best wishes for the day. It brings a smile to my lips and memories of his infatuated talk come back to surface for a few minutes. We were introduced by a mutual friend as friends but somewhere along the lines of friendship he became a Ranjha to his Heer ........incredible really as we only met on a couple of occasions.
It' s weird and wonderful how our paths cross with individuals that can have such an impact......... You discover sides of yourself that you never knew, you see traits that you have carried all your life but never noticed. I've decided that you do not have to be in love with someone to have the heart warming sensation of a genuine friendship. I'm glad that I met him, at least I know that when my mind is low and my self esteem hits the ground, one phone call is all it will take to lift me up in the air again..................................




Ranjha & Heer grieving emotions

“RaaNjha RaaNjha Kardi Ni MaeN
”RaaNjha raaNjha kardi ni maeN
Aape raaNjha hoi,
Sado ni menu dhido raaNjha,
Heer na aakho koi.
RaaNjha maeN vich maeN raaNjhe vich,
Hor khayaal na koi,
MaeN naheeN, o aap haiAapani aap kare dil joi.
RaaNjha raaNjha kardi ni maeN
Aape raaNjha hoi,
Sado ni menu dhido raaNjha,
Heer na aakho koi.
Jo koee saaday aNder wasseyzaat asaa
Dee oheejis dey naal meyN niyooNh
lagaayaaoh jehee hoeeRaaNjha raaNjha kardi ni maeNAape raaNjha hoi,
Sado ni menu dhido raaNjha,
Heer na aakho koi.
Hath khunDi, mere ahge maNgu,
MoDHe bhoora loe,
Bulha heer saleTi vekhoKithe ja khaloi.
RaaNjha raaNjha kardi ni maeNAape raaNjha hoi,
Sado ni menu dhido raaNjha,
Heer na aakho koi.
Translation:
Repeating his name, I have become RaaNjha .
Call me Ranjha , not Heer .
Ranjha is in me and I in Ranjha .
No other thought exists.
It is he who has done this, not I.
He does it to amuse himself.
Repeating his name, I have become RaaNjha .Call me Ranjha , not Heer .
Whoever dwells in me,
He is my casteWhoever I love, I
have become exactly like HimRepeating his name, I have become RaaNjha .
Call me Ranjha , not Heer .
Staff in hand, bowl outstretched,
A coarse brown blanket on his shoulder.Look, says Bulha ,
Where Heer stands!Repeating his name,
I have become RaaNjha .Call me Ranjha , not Heer
