The name of the Khalsa shall be everywhere. In the time of Aurangzeb
The wondrous Khalsa shall arise. Then shall battles be waged, Endless war shall ensue.
And fighting shall follow year after year. They shall place the name of Gobind Singh in their hearts;
Many heads shall be rendered up, And the empire of the Khalsa shall prevail. First, the Punjab shall become the land of the Sikhs; Then other countries shall be theirs;
Hindustan and the North shall be possessed by them;
Then the West shall bow to them.
When they enter Khorasan, Kabul and Kandahar shall lie low.
When Iran

has been laid prostrate,
Mecca shall be beheld, And Medina shall be seized. Mighty shall be the rejoicing. And all shall exclaim, 'Hail, Guru Unbelievers shall everywhere be destroyed; The holy Khalsa shall be exalted; Beasts, and birds, and creeping things, shall tremble !'
(in the
presence of the Lord)
Men and women shall everywhere call on God. The earth, the ocean, and the heavens, shall call on God. By calling on the Guru shall men be blessed. Every faith shall become of the Khalsa;
No other religion will remain. 'Wah Guru' shall everywhere be repeated.
And Pain and Trouble shall depart. In the Kalyug shall the Kingdom be established Which Nanak received from the Lord. Worthless, I fall before God; Nanak, the slave, cannot comprehend the ways of the
Lord. 1
