Ranjha's sister-in-law mocks him, and taunts him, suggesting that a ladies' man like him should surely be able to seduce and marry a beauty from the powerful Sial clan of Jhang, perhaps even Heer Sial herself, the beautiful and haughty daughter of the Sial chief.

Stung by his sister-in-law's rebuke, Ranjha changes his tune. He extols her beauty and bemoans her arrogance and hauteur and he begs that she not turn him out of her home. The poet, Waris Shah skillfully and subtly paints a picture of heartache. The young Ranjha seems to be enamored of his siter-in-law, but she is is older brother's wife rendering any romantic notions taboo. Yet his repeated references to her beauty, her adornments and her haughtiness seem to be an expression of hidden yearning.

Ranjha's sister-in-law has more to say; she reminds him about how pampered he is and once again accuses him of being a dandy and ladies' man. She berates him saying that he enjoys the finest food and wears the finest clothes without doing any thing useful and tells him that he has no right to be haughty.

Ranjha's sister in law rebukes him sharply for his interest in young woman has become the subject of much gossip in the village. She alludes to his rakish good looks and suggests that he has been the ruin of many a young girl. She sarcastically says they she is blessed to have a worthy brother in law like him.

Ranjha responds bitterly to his sister-in-law, suggesting that she has been leading him on.

Ranjha's sister-in-law responds tartly to his rant, digging into folklore herself and accusing him of being capable of drowning her. She bemoans the fact that the villagers gossip salaciously about Ranjha's relationship with his sisters-in-law. She taunts him, saying that he will make no headway with her, and that instead he should go marry a storied beauty form the Sial clan of Jhang.

Goaded by his sister-in-law's taunts, Ranjha launches into a misogynistic tirade, digging deep into the mythology of the Indian subcontinent to rant about the wiles of women!

Ranjha's sister-in-law responds sharply, reminding him that he is well cared for and pampered so much by his sisters-in-law that the village women gossip about their closeness.

After Ranjha's sister in law taunts him, he berates her and accuses her and the other sisters-in-law of turning his seven brothers against him.

After a hard day's work ploughing, Ranjha limps home and complains to his sister-in-law about his cuts and blisters. His sharp tongued siter-in-law responds by mocking him and calling him a pampered child.
