Heer Waris Shah: A love story from Panjab and Sunday Supper
Experience South Asia’s celebrated poetic masterpiece—the story of Heer and her beloved Ranjha as they defy family, class, and fate. A lyrical journey of love so powerful it becomes an act of rebellion.
Composed in the 18th century by Sufi poet Waris Shah, this modern adaptation honors Panjab’s rich oral storytelling tradition. Verses are sung in Panjabi, interwoven with English narration and carried by the live music of flute, mandolin, and tabla—weaving poetry, song, and story into a moving experience for both familiar and new audiences.
A timeless love. A powerful resistance. A story that sings across centuries.
Vocalist: Ishmeet Narula
Flute: Tejasvi Chakravarthy⎜Mandolin: Harinder Singh⎜Tabla: Gurdeep Singh
