Words that rhyme with Sahib
For lyric work, sahib behaves as a word everyone uses. Sound-wise: two-syllable, vowel on the short /ɪ/, finally it snaps shut on a stop. Its everydayness lets the song surprise around it. In a song, the word is a workaday word. Behind it, the rhyme map shows strict rhymes are scarce, family-rhyme territory comes up dry, and the assonance well runs into four figures. Assonance is where the modern songwriting toolkit lives for this one.

Why sahib rhymes the way it does
The phonology of sahib is a two-syllable core: the clipped /ɪ/ (/ɪ/), then it shuts cleanly on a stopped consonant. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 46 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 10, assonance 7,751, and consonance 235. The empty family column matters less than it looks. Family rhymes are a strict-classifier construct; the songwriter's ear accepts most assonance matches in their place. In the room with a guitar: write toward the strict rhyme first, then go back through and replace the obvious ones with the assonance matches that earned their place. Sahib is a word that benefits from the second pass.
