. Mirza and Shahiba lived
in different villages of Punjab and met as children when Mirza came to Sahiba’s
village to study. As the two children grew young, feelings of love began to
blossom between the two. Mirza could not live without his Sahiba. They were
lost in their own world. Sadly, their days of
love finished fast. Sahiba’s parents heard about the love affair and
sent Mirza back home to his parents. after that, they arranged Sahiba’s marriage to
a man named Tahir Khan. He was from the same town. Sahiba’s parents were able
to prepare for the wedding without any interruptions. When Mirza heard of this,
he made plans to leave. His family tried to stop him but he did not listen to
their pleas. Mirza reached Sahiba on the day of the wedding right before the
ceremony. He opened to door to the room Sahiba was waiting in and entered
secretly.Without waiting another moment, he held her hand and took her away
with him on horseback and rode until he thought that they had reached a safe
distance. He decided to rest by under the shade of a tree while his sweet
Sahiba watched over him, Sahiba’s brothers realized that Sahiba was missing.
Sahiba’s brothers, and other male cousins rode on horseback in search for Mirza
and Sahiba. Sahiba, while keeping watch over her beloved, was scared of her brothers.
She thought that if her brothers come
and Mirza woke up then her brothers would surely die of Mirza’s quick arrows
because Mirza was a very skilled archer. Sahiba broke each sharp arrow. She
believed that no blood would be spilled this way. Suddenly, Sahiba’s brothers
and relatives found the couple under the tree. With one quick shot from
Sahiba’s brother’s bow, Mirza awoke to an arrow piercing his throat. Mirza
reached for his arrow and saw all the broken pieces. He looked up at Sahiba,
searching for an answer but was hurt with yet another arrow, this time in the
chest. Sahiba threw herself over him and together, they died. This tale is
mostly remembered for it’s tragic end and more often for Sahiban is known unfaithful as she cared more
for her family than her lover.
