I too would assume that the original REhatnama and Tankhnama would be originally in Gurmukhi, but the other day I was talking to a relative and he mentioned to me that his grandfather gave him a rehatnama by Bhai Nand Lal Ji that is in Farsi script . He went on to mention the language is in Farsi as well. Perhaps Bhai Sahib wrote another rehatnama for converts whom predominantly spoke Farsi ?
Im still confused though because at first my Cousin said the language was Gurmukhi but then he started mentioning Farsi words in the rehatnama. I asked him if he could photo copy it so I can see for myself, but he said he will have to look for it. Thats why I was wondering if anyone else knew about this Farsi Rehatnama. I think he might be mistaken I remember awhile back he told me that in the old days books were not published in Gurmukhi instead they were published in Urdu perhaps the book he has is in Urdu with GUrmukhi language?
