Mirza Sahiban[a] (Punjabi: [mɪɾzaː saːɦɪbãː]) is a traditional Punjabi tragedy originally written by the 17th-century poet Pilu. Set in a village in Jhang, the tragedy follows the romance between two youths, belonging to chieftain families of their respective clans, their elopement and eventual demise.
It is regarded as one of the four popular tragic romances of the Punjab. The other three are Heer Ranjha, Sohni Mahiwal and Sassi Punnun.[1][2][3][4]
