Sahib or Saheb (, traditionally or ; ) is a name of Arabic origin meaning "holder, master or owner." It has passed on to several languages including Pashto, Urdu, Punjabi, Hindi and Somali; as well as existing in English, as a loanword especially associated with British rule in India.
Usage examples of "sahib".
It was as he discussed this very thing with his Minister, Dewan Sewlal, that Nana Sahib swirled up the gravelled drive to the bungalow on his golden-chestnut Arab, in his mind an inspiration gleaned from something that had been.
Sahib, and Dewan Sahib, we men of the nine castes of the Bagrees now make the sacred oath.
In his perplexity the Dewan asked Baptiste to formulate some excuse for getting Nana Sahib up to Chunda--some matter affecting the troops, so that he might casually get a sustaining suggestion from the wily Prince.
And he was in league with the Dewan to obtain for Nana Sahib a girl of my household, who is called the Gulab because she is as beautiful as the moon.
So now, at a hint from Nana Sahib, the Dewan seized upon Ajeet, voicing a righteous indignation at his crime of decoity, and gave him the alternative of being strangled with a bow-string or forcing the Gulab to go to the camp of Amir Khan to betray him.
Both Nana Sahib and the Dewan were pleased over what they deemed her sensible acquiescence in the scheme.
Bagrees killed the jewel merchant, that time the Sahib saved Bootea, he stole it from the other decoits, hiding it in his turban, because the Dewan wanted it.
And the Hajji showed the old woman the knife by which she would die if our Sahib died.
The Hajji loved our Sahib with the love of a father for his son, of a saved for his saviour, of a Great One for a Great One.
Our Sahib looked up to invite the Hajji to approach before he opened the letter, but the Hajji stood off till our Sahib had well opened and well read the letter.
Sahib raised and embraced him, and the Hajji covered his mouth with his shoulder-cloth, because it worked, and so he went away.
De Lancey, he said that the Nana Sahib will be crowned as Peishwa of the Mahrattas and that .
And then just as a bleating, mottled white-and-black goat was led by a thong to the pipal, Nana Sahib came swirling down the road in a brake drawn by a spanking pair of bay Arabs with black points.
