FATEHNAMA

In the name of the Lord who manifests Himself as weapons of war viz

the sword, the axe, the arrow, the spear, and the shield

The Lord is with the brave warriors who, mounted on their horses, fly

through the air

The Lord who has bestowed upon you the kingdom has granted me the honour

of protecting the faith

Where as you are engaged in plunder by deceit and lies, I am on the path

of truth and purity

The name “ Aurangzeb” does not befit you, since a king who is

supposed to bring honour to the throne, will not indulge in deceit

Aurangzeb! Your rosary is nothing more than a bundle of beads and thread.

With every move of a bead, you entrap others in your snare

Aurangzeb! By your grisly act, you have put your father’s name in the

dust; by murdering your own brothers you have added (to the list of your

evil deeds)

And from that (by imprisoning your father and murdering your brothers) you

have laid a weak foundation of your kingdom

Now by the grace of the Lord, I have made the water of steel (Amrit

for my warriors) which will fall upon you like a torrent

And with this (torrent of Amrit), your sinister kingdom will vanish

from this holy land without a trace

You came thirsty (defeated) from the mountains of South;the Rajputs have

also made you drink the bitter cup (of defeat).

Now you are casting your sight towards this side (Punjab). Here also your

thirst will remain unquenched

I will put fire under your feet when you come to Punjab and I will not let

you even drink water here

What is so great if a jackal kills two cubs of a tiger by deceit and

cunning?

Since that formidable tiger still lives, he will definitely take revenge

(from the jackal)

I no longer trust you or your God since I have seen your God as well as

his word

I do not trust your oaths any more and now there is no other way for me

except to take up the sword

If you are an old fox, I will too keep my tigers out of your snare

If you come to me for detailed and frank talks, I shall show you the

path of purity and truthfulness

Let the forces from both sides array in the battlefield at such a

distance that they are visible to each other

The battle field should be arranged in such a manner that both the

forces should be separated by a reasonable distance (of two

furlongs)

Then I will advance in the battle field for combat with your forces

along with two of my riders

So far you have been enjoying the fruits of a cosy and comfortable

life but never faced the fierce warriors (in the battle field ).

Now come into the battle field with your weapons and stop tormenting

the people who are the creation of the Lord.
