The Punjab and the Birth of Sikhism
He disdained co perform miracles or juggler's tricks
For such fill men of God with shame.
He burst the bonds of mortal clay
And wenl to the abode of God.
No one hath ever performed an act as noble as his.
Tegh Bahadur passed, the world was with sorrow stricken.
A wail of horror rent the earth,
A victor's welcomt· given by the hosts of heaven.
