Ambarsaria Ji,

Interesting note: in one of Giani Maskeen Ji's katha's he mentions that there is some reference to Sassi Punnu in Gurbani and its actually APPROVED to be sung as keertan... (I'll have to dig and find that katha, unless you already know of the reference) just b/c the love between the two of them was so exalted, so divine... akin to the love one should feel towards God.
I thought it was pretty cool.

...or maybe it was layla majnun... hmmm... gotta go dig

Bhai Nirmal Singh ji Khalsa, Hazoori Raagi, has sung the following, which has references to laila majnu, sassi punnu, heer ranjaa and soni mahiwal... but i could not find it in Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji... so i am not sure... needs clarification...

Aman Singh ji it is not in Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji. It is in Bhai Gurdas ji's Vaaran as follows,

So not Gurbani.


Sat Sri Akal.

PS: Intriguing questions follows as to how could Bhai Gurdas ji write about Sohni Mahiwal when Sohni was born way past the death of Bhai Gurdas ji?

1. Bhai Gurdas (1551 – 25 August 1636) was a writer, historian, preacher and religious figure. He was the original scribe of the ^[1] and a companion of four of the .

2. Sohni Born in 1700+ (AD)

Around the 18th c. (late

Mughal

Mughal_Empire

period), the beautiful girl Sohni was born to a potter named Tulla (Toolha). They were from the , and lived in town (in present-day ). At the time, Gujrat, on the river , was a on the trade route between and .
As Sohni grew up, she helped her father decorate his pots. Their shop is said to have been near Rampyari Mahal by the river.^[3] As soon as the Surahis (water-pitchers) and mugs came off the wheel, she would draw artistic designs on them and set them up for sale.

3. Laila Majnu is OK to be referred as from in 700+ (AD)


4. Shah Abdul Latif Bhittai (also referred to by the Lakhino Latif, Latif Ghot, Bhittai, and Bhitt Jo Shah) (1689 – 1752)

5. It is possible that the folklores existed way before the writings!
