Verse 9 - Mauju Chaudhary, the Ranjha patriarch
In this verse, we learn about Ranjha's father Mauju, a respected patriarch and a man of property, who is a leader in his community. Blessed with eight sons and two daughters, he dotes on Dhido, his youngest son, who is the male protagonist of Waris Shah's tale.
'Dhido' and 'Ranjha' are used interchangeably in the poem to refer to the male protagonist, whose full name is Dhido Ranjha. Ranjha is actually the name of the clan.
