Mirza Izzatbeg who had come for the purposes of trade and make fortunes out of trading fell in love with Sohni the daughter of a potter named Tulla and lost his heart at first sight. Mirza Izzatbeg started visiting Sohnis shop every day on the pretext of buying earthenwares. . Fatta anothe potter thought actually a wrestler had Sohins image in a part of his heart also and it was therfor very natural that he grew jealous of Mirza Izzatbeg and he could not stand the progress of love between Izzatbeg and Sohni. He, therfore, with the help of his comrade decided to commit robbery and deprive Izzatbeg of all his belongings so that he should be left without means to continue staying in Gujrat. . Conspired robbery proved a blessing in disguise as Mirza Izzatbeg was taken to Tullas house by Sohni where Izzatbeg was persuaded to stay with them and work with them. He was entrusted with the job of grazing their buffaloes and as such he was later on called Mahiwal. . This increased the fire of jealousy in the heart of Fatta who with the help of his comrades attacked Mahiwal on the eve of Baisakhi and taking him to be dead threw him acorss the river Chinab.
