This video demonstrate raw talent of these simple peoples who are just having fun and keeping our culture alive against all odds they have no formal training or corporate backing yet you can see they have ability to move masses with their unchoreographed rough but heartfelt performance it is sad to note here that we are letting too many unpolished diamonds like these going to waste because mainstream Punjabis on both side of border are too busy chasing westren values and neglecting their rich past , history and traditions. i hope you will enjoy this video.

**********************************

Mirza Sahiba is one of the four popular tragic romances of the Punjab . The other three are Heer Ranjha, Sassi Punnun and Sohni Mahiwal. Mirza Sahiba is one of the the classical Punjabi and Sindhi love stories just like Sassi Punnun, Heer Ranjha and Sohni Mahiwal.

Story

MirzaSahiban is a treasure of Punjabi literature. It is a romantic tragedy. Sahiban was a love-lorn soul. Shayer Pillo raves about her beauty and says," As Sahiban stepped out with a lungi tied around her waist, the nine angels died on seeing her beauty.

Mirza and Sahiban were cousins not childhood playmates,mirza was sahiba's mother's brother's son as mentioned in many books and folk tales in punjab, fell in love with each other. But when this beauty is about to be wedded forcibly to Tahar Khan by her parents, without any hesitation she sends a taunting message to Mirza, whom she loves, to his village Danabad, through a Brahmin called Kammu.

"You must come and decorate Sahibans hand with the marriage henna."

Mirza Khan was the son of Wanjhal Khan, the leader of the Kharal tribe in Danabad, a town in the Jaranwala area of Faisalabad, Pakistan. Sahiba was the daughter of Mahni, the chief of Khewa, a town in Sial Territory in the Jhang district Punjab,Pakistan. Mirza was sent to his relatives' house in Khewa to study, where he met Sahiba and they fell in love. Her family opposed the relationship, and instead arranged a marriage with a member of the Chadhar family.

This is the time you have to protect your self respect and love, keep your promises, and sacrifice your life for truth. Mirza arrived on his horse, Bakki the night before the wedding and secretly carried her away, planning to elope. Sahiba's brothers got to know about this and decided to follow them. On the way, as Mirza lies under the shade of a tree to rest for a few moments, Sahiba's brothers caught up with them.

Sahiba was a virtuous and a beautiful soul who did not desire any bloodshed to mar the one she loved. She did not want her hands drenched in blood instead of henna. She thinks Mirza cannot miss his target, and if he strikes, her brothers would surely die. Before waking up Mirza, Sahiban breaks his arrows so he can't use them. She presumes on seeing her, her brothers would feel sorry and forgive Mirza and take him in their arms. But the brothers attack Mirza and kill him. Sahiban takes a sword and slaughters herself and thus bids farewell to this world.

Some other facts include that Mirza's horse which was named bakki was from shri guru gobind singh's (10th sikh guru)horse's blood line. also,out of all the legendary stories, mirza sahiba's story is the only story where the guy's name comes first and then the girl's. all others start with girl's name for example: Heer Ranjha,Sassi Punnun,Sohni Mahiwal,Shireen Farihad,Laila Majnu.

Innumerable folk songs of Punjab narrate the love tale of Sassi and Punnu. The women sing these songs with great emotion and feeling, as though they are paying homage to Sassi with lighted on her tomb. It is not the tragedy of the lovers. It is the conviction of the heart of the lovers. It is firmly believed that the soil of the Punjab has been blessed. God has blessed these lovers. Though their love ended in death, death was a blessing in disguise, for this blessing is immortalized.
