Verse 59 - Heer's anger

Heer’s tempestuous personality is emphasized as she rants and raves, calling Ranjha a barbarian and a madman. She declares that as the daughter of Chuchak who rules these lands, she is fearless and declares that she can easily remove him from her couch. She mocks Ranjha by asking rhetorical questions, wondering if he is a mighty king, or perhaps the scion of Nadu Shah of yore, who was known to be pompous and oppressive. She declares that perhaps he thinks he is a fierce lion or a mighty elephant, but he is no match for her.
Finally the poet invokes healers and holy men, placing himself in their company, as he advocates for Ranjha.
