<P> Izzat Baig renounced the world and started living as a faqir (hermit). He eventually moved to a small hut across the river Chenab from Sohni's new home . In the dark of night, when the world was fast asleep, the lovers would meet by the river . Izzat would come to the riverside and Sohni would come to meet him swimming with the help of an inverted hard baked pitcher (inverted so that it would not sink). He would regularly catch a fish and bring it for her . It is said that once, when due to high tide he could not catch a fish, Mahiwal cut a piece of his thigh and roasted it . Sohni didn't realise this at first but then she told Izzat that this fish tastes different . When she kept her hand on his leg, she realised what Mahiwal had done and this only strengthened their love for each other . </P> <P> Meanwhile, rumours of their romantic rendezvous spread . One day Sohni's sister - in - law followed her and saw the hiding place where Sohni kept her earthenware pitcher . She informed her mother, Sohni's mother - in - law, and instead of telling Sohni's husband (who was away on a business trip), the women decided to take the decision in their own hands and finish the matter . The next day, the sister - in - law removed the hard baked pitcher and replaced it with an unbaked one . That night, when Sohni tried to cross the river with the help of the pitcher, it dissolved in the water and Sohni drowned . From the other side of the river, Mahiwal saw Sohni drowning and jumped into the river to save her and drowned as well . Thus, the lovers were reunited in death . </P> <P> A somewhat different version of the story is told in Sindh, where Sohni is believed to be a girl of Jat tribe living on the western bank of the Indus River; and Dam, Sohni's husband, was of the Samtia, living on the eastern bank . The love between Sohni and Mehar is attributed to a drink of milk that Mehar gave her during the marriage procession over the river . </P> <P> Legend has 75 km (47 mi) from Hyderabad, Pakistan . Sohni's tomb is located at Shahpur Chakar Road, Shahdadpur, and is visited by lovers . </P>
