Very beautiful tribute to Siri Guru Dasmesh jee, in form of pure Urdu poem. Jogi Allah Yaar Khan has done a very commendable job. At some places, he has shown some Sidhantak (principles) ignorance but that can be ignored because he is not a Sikh. Such beautiful poetic tribute by a non-Sikh, particularly a Muslim, is very much appreciated by Gursikhs.

The poem has an amazing Ravaangi (flow) and the use of some of the most beautiful Urdu words make this poem even more enchanting. The meanings of difficult words on the right hand side page are very helpful for ones who are not that well-versed in Urdu.

Great effort, Bhai Jasjit Singh jeeo.

Kindly tell us how you scanned or photographed this book, for the benefit of other Gursikhs who may want to do this Sewa. Did you take photographs and then made a pdf file of it or did you do something else. Please provide detailed guidance.

Bhai Sahib Jio, daas absolutely did nothing for collecting this document except bringing to sangat's attention here. This document was sent to Daas by a Gurmukh Piyara ji. As far as the other technical things goes I think it is not a scanned original document rather typed in Gurmukhi on background of a book template. Anyway daas will try to find out details.

Here are some beautiful couplets:

Sahibzada Baba Jujhar Singh jee's Benti for martyrdom and Pita Guru jee's response (selected couplets):

ਇਸ ਵਕਤ ਕਹਾ ਨਨ੍ਹੇ ਸੇ ਮਅਸੂਮ ਪਿਸਰ ਨੇ। (At that time, innocent son (Pisar) said)
ਰੁਖ਼ਸਤ ਹਮੇਂ ਦਿਲਵਾਉ ਪਿਤਾ ਜਾਏਂਗੇ ਮਰਨੇ। (Allow us to go Pita jee, we will go to die)
ਭਾਈ ਸੇ ਬਿਛੜ ਕਰ ਹਮੇਂ ਜੀਨਾ ਨਹੀਂ ਭਾਤਾ। (We don't want to live without our brother (Baba Ajit Singh)
ਸੋਨਾ ਨਹੀਂ, ਖਾਨਾ ਨਹੀਂ, ਪੀਨਾ ਨਹੀਂ ਭਾਤਾ। (We don't want tosleep, eat and drink without him)

ਥੀ ਦੂਸਰੇ ਬੇਟੇ ਕੀ ਸੁਨੀ ਬੇਨਤੀ ਜਿਸ ਦਮ। (When Guru jee heard his second son's Benti)
ਸਰ ਕੋ, ਦਿਹਨੇ-ਪਾਕ ਕੋ ਬੋਸੇ ਦਿਏ ਪੈਹਮ। (He kissed his head and face, again and again)
ਮਰਨੇ ਕੇ ਲਿਏ ਕਹਨੇ ਲਗੇ ਜਾਈਏ ਜਮ ਜਮ। (For dying, Pita jee said, go with full enthusiasm)
ਰੂਠੋ ਨ: ਖ਼ੁਦਾ-ਰਾ ਨਹੀਂ ਰੋਕੇਂਗੇ ਕਭੀ ਹਮ। (Don't be disappointed, By God, we will not stop you)


Updesh to Sahibzada Baba Jujhar Singh jee (selected couplets):

ਜਬ ਤੀਰ ਕਲੇਜੇ ਮੇਂ ਲਗੇ ਸੀ ਨਹੀਂ ਕਰਨਾ। (When the arrow hits your chest, don't utter see (ouch))
ਉਫ ਮੂੰਹ ਸੇ ਮਿਰੀ ਜਾਨ ਕਭੀ ਨਹੀਂ ਕਰਨਾ। (O Meri Jaan, don't say uff (ouch) from your mouth)
ਖ਼ਾਹਿਸ਼ ਹੈ ਤੁਮੇਂ ਤੇਗ਼ ਚਲਾਤੇ ਹੁਏ ਦੇਖੇਂ। (It's our wish we see you using the sword)
ਹਮ ਆਂਖ ਸੇ ਬਰਛੀ ਤੁਮੇਂ ਖਾਤੇ ਹੁਏ ਦੇਖੇਂ। (May we see you with our eyes, enduring a spear wound)

The poem has been written from the heart. Great work by Jogi Allah Yaar Khan.
