ज़फ़रनामा (श्री गुरु गोबिन्द सिंह जी - विजय पत्र सटीक)

قسم مصحفے خفیہ گر این خورم
نہ فوجے عزیزم را سم افگنم
KASAM MUS-HAF-E KHUFI-AH GAR EEN KHORAM
NA FAUJ-E AZIZ-AM RA SUM AFGANAM
*KASAM-oath *MUS-HAF -the book, koran *KHUD-EH- deceit, ruse, trick *GAR-if *EEN- this *KHORAM- I eat
(first person present of "khordan"-to eat ) *FAUJ- army *AZIZ-dear, darling *AZIZ-AM-my darling * RA-
particle *SUM AFGANAM -a proverb meaning to become lame
If I had cheated by taking oath on Koran, I would not have made my dear
(Khalsa) army lame (by bringing them out of Anandpur Sahib fort and
exposing them to an unequal battle).
In verses from 19 to 41 below, Guruji gives an account of the Battle of
Chamkaur fought on 22 December 1704 and the reasons that forced him to
take to the sword
੧੯ ਗੁਰਿਸਨਹ ਚਿ ਕਾਰੇ ਕੁਨੰਦ ਚਿਹਲ ਨਰ
ਕਿ ਦਹ ਲਕ ਬਰਾਯਦ ਬਰੋ ਬੇ ਖ਼ਬਰ
گرسنہ چہ کارے کند چہل نر
کہ دہ لک بر آید برو بے خبر
GURESNEH CHI KAR-E KUNAND CHEHAL NAR
KI DEH LAK BAR AAYAD BAR-O BE-KHABAR
*GURESNEH- hungry *CHI-what *KAR- work *KUNAND-do (third person plural present of" kardan"-to do)
*CHEHAL-forty *NAR-men *KI-when *DEH LAK- ten lac * BAR- upon *"O"-them * AAYAD- come (from" aamdan"- to
come)*BE-KHABAR-with surprise, suddenly
What could forty hungry persons do, when suddenly ten lac strong army came
upon them? (Here ten lac has been used in a poetic sense and means "huge
numbers ", as Guruji has again referred to the number of enemy forces as
"beshumaar" in verse 41)
੨੦ ਕਿ ਪੈਮਾਂ ਸ਼ਿਕਨ ਬੇਦਰੰਗ ਆਮਦੰਦ
ਮਿਆਂ ਤੇਗ਼ੋ ਤੀਰੋ ਤੁਫ਼ੰਗ ਆਮਦੰਦ
کہ پیماں شکن بے د رنگ آمدند
میاں تیغ و تیر و تفنگ آمدند
KE PEIMAN SHIKAN BE-DRANG AAMDAND
MI-AAN TEG-O TEER-O TUFANG AAMDAND
*PEIMAN-promise SHIKAN-breakerBE-DRANG-without delay, suddenly *AAMDAND-they came (third person plural
past of "aamdan"-to come)*MI-AAN-mid, centre *TEG-sword *TEER-arrows *TUFANG- gun
That the promise breakers launched a surprise attack with their swords and
arrows and guns.
