They both fell in love but Heer's parents were against their marriage. Heer was married by force to a rich young man. Ranjha, very saddened by this, became a hermit, a person who lives alone away from other people and spends his time meditating about God. He later tried to meet Heer but he failed, and they both died in the end of broken hearts.

The play begins with Ranjha, who runs away from his home and comes to the village of Heer and starts working with Heer. After some time, the people of Heer come to know about the love of Heer and Ranjha. Therefore, Heer's family marries Heer elsewhere.

When Ranjha learns all this, then Ranjha takes the form of a yogi and goes to the in-laws of Heer.
