The tale of Mirza Sahiban is the stuff of legend that has inspired innumerable poets and bards generation after generation. A major source of such an undying interest in it may have something to do with the defiance of young lovers and their tragic death in the prime of their youth.
The latest expression of interest on the subject in question is Dr. Faisal Jappa’s researched book Mirza te Ra Rahmun di Var published by Pakistan Punjabi Adbi Board, Lahore.
Dr. Faisal is an educationist and writer. The book has two segments: a researched article on Mirza, his family and clan, and a poem in the manner of epic on the tale of Mirza and Sahiban by Hafiz Barkhurdar Sachiyar Hanjraa who was born in 1635 in present-day Sargodha district.
