Abstract

The poet who laid the foundation of Punjabi storytelling is Damodar Das Khatri, who wrote the story of Heer Ranjha in a beautiful and unique manner, establishing storytelling in Punjabi. After him, Ahmed Gujjar wrote the tale of Heer, and following that, the tradition was further developed by Mian Charagh Awan. Hafiz Shahjahan Maqbul is the fourth poet to write the story of Heer Ranjha, gaining great recognition by writing it before Waris Shah. All these storytellers are known for contributing to the middle phase of the Heer Ranjha story. In their compositions, where we witness the passage of time and the evolving Punjab, we also find the eternal truths of life being reflected in their works.
