Loona (Lūṇā) is a Punjabi epic verse play by Shiv Kumar Batalvi, based on the ancient legend of Puran Bhagat.
Puran is a prince whose father marries a girl named Loona, much younger than him.
Loona is hurt and seeks revenge by convincing his husband to exile Puran.
Shiv adopted a contrary viewpoint, creating the epic around the pain of a teenage girl forcefully married to a man much older than her, and renounced by the man she loves.
[2] Amongst enthusiasts of modern Punjabi poetry, Shiv's poetry is considered equal to that of Mohan Singh (poet) and Amrita Pritam,[3] who are popular on both sides of Indo-Pakistan border.
