The symbolism is explicit; Sohni is the seeker, her beloved is The Beloved (God) and the treacherous, tumultuous river is the dunya. The pot symbolizes the Law, the Path and the Shaykh- the conduit. One cannot expect to cross the river of deception with a weak conduit. Sohni laments to the pot: “how could you betray me like this?” and the pot replies: “Main garha, main khur jana, meinoun hath na lawaein- Pharh palra Pakkay Murshid da, jerha tenoun paar langaway.” Translation: “I am but a pot, unbaked and fragile, do not dare to touch me! Grab onto a true Shaykh, one that shall help you cross.“ *** Listen Kande Utte Meherma Ve is a beautiful Punjabi song, about a lover’s longing for beloved.
