SOHNI MAHIWAL –poster from the original oil painting of  artist Sobha Singh

It is always a poet, though, who immortalizes a love story. But it is also true that a poet chooses to sing a particular story, and not the other, because of its inherent beauty and poignancy. While the Persian poet, Nizami, introduced Layla-Majnun to the world, Shakespeare immortalized Romeo and Juliet. Waris Shah cried a river over Heer and made her a household name in Punjab and Sohni and Mahiwal first captured the imagination of Fazal Shah and, through his poetry, got embedded in popular imagination in the region that is now Pakistan and beyond.Even though Sohni and Mahiwal lived, loved and died, relatively recently there is no one consistent account of their story.  This poster is made from the original oil painting of artist Sobha Singh,a well known artist from Kangra Valley of Himachal Praseh. This poster is 19”x26” and shipped in a heavy duty cardboard tube for safe delivery. For more information call 1-800-400-9894
