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.
