Verse 53 - Ranjha is quizzed by his fellow passengers

Ranjha’s fellow travelers on the boat, serving as Waris Shahs’s Greek chorus, subject him to a barrage of questions, not in an unkind manner. In their eyes, Ranjha appears as a handsome lad of noble bearing, who seems to be on an arduous journey. They wonder why he has left home and cannot understand how his family might have let him leave.
