Abstract

There arose many poets in the Punjab who earnestly endeavored to depict the colorful and panoramic culture of the Punjab but none of them was as successful as was the legend of the Punjab Waris Shah. Waris has portrayed the culture of the Punjab with all its colors and shades through his poetic rendition in form of the Heer. He has narrated so plainly norms and customs of the Punjab of his time that they to some extant are same even today in one shape or the other. This article deals with the Waris Shah’s depiction of the Punjab through his master piece the Heer.
