Through his painting- Sahiba, The quest within- Mera Punjab, the artist tries to elaborate the inner turmoil of Sahiba. This watercolor painting has the dimensions of 18 x 18 inches. The style used in this punjabi painting is based on expressionism.

The renowned folktale of Mirza-Sahiba often makes us wonder if she ever loved Mirza. When people ponder upon the fact that she disarmed Mirza in his sleep, they often misjudge her intentions. Through this cultural Punjabi painting, the artist has expressed the mindset of Sahiba. Ruining the arms of Mirza to stop bloodshed between him and her brothers might be a lapse of judgement on her part but, she did not have any ill intentions.

Having spent her childhood with Mirza, Sahiba could never think of letting him die. For the artist, Sahiba is equally entitled to the dignity and respect that she never got. Her foolishness in that moment ended up with Mirza’s death but, she proved her loyalty by taking her own life alongside him.

Moreover, making such an alluring traditional Punjabi painting is a form of demonstrating the artist’s affection for the folk tales of Punjab. Sahiba, The quest within- Mera Punjab is a tribute to such lovers who were tested by time and people but they never failed in proving their loyalty.

Sahiba, Sahiba, Sahiba, its been the soothing desire of yours!!

and the ages has been looking at you, feeling it alright

But the feathers have been bright, and calm

for the grace and the eternal peace,

Believe me, that is the inner peace which I am seeking,

for the kindness of love and the wildest of all,

as It has been giving testimonial to the kindness,

And a big blow to the aura, and the knotting of self with the kindest of destiny,

As the traffic is kind and the mellowness to see,

still, this is the soothing desire

which might have been the nicest of all and wisest of all,
