LITTLE KITTEN
Zafarnama means the Notification of Victory and is the name given to the letter sent by dassme pita,Guru Gobind Singh Ji in 1705 to the Emperor of India, Aurangzeb. The letter is written in exquisite Persian verse.

In this letter, Guru Ji reminds Aurangzeb how he and his henchmen had broken their oaths taken on holy Koran. Even so, this treacherous leader could not harm Guruji. Guruji states in this letter that in spite of his several sufferings, he had won a moral victory over the crafty Mughal who had broken all his vows. Despite sending a huge army to capture or kill Guruji, the Mughal forces did not succeed in their mission.

The letter reads like a reprimand by a superior personality on a higher plane to a cruel and distorted inhuman being on a lower and pitiful plane. Guru Ji in the 111 verses of this notice rebuke Aurangzeb for his weaknesses as a human being and for excesses as a leader. Guru Ji confirms his confidence and his unflinching faith in the Almighty even after suffering extreme personal loss.

Of the 111 verses, the maximum numbers of 34 verses are to praise God, 32 deal with Aurangzeb’s invitation for the Guru Ji to meet him and Guru Ji refusal to meet the Emperor - instead Guruji asks Aurangzeb to visit the Guru JI, 24 verses detail the events in the Battle of Chamkaur sahib, which took place on 21 and 22 December 1704, 15 verses reprove Aurangzeb for breaking promise given by him and by his agents to Guru ji, In verses 78 and 79, the Master had also warned Aurangzeb about the resolve of the Khalsa not to rest till his evil empire is destroyed, 6 verses praise Aurangzeb.

LITTLE KITTEN
here's the translation


Waheguru is perfection personified. He is eternal and through His miracles He shows His presence. He is generous in granting us His bounties. He is compassionate and merciful.
He grants us the peace and security and is always merciful in forgiving us for our sins. He holds our hand and guides us (in this world). He is provider of our sustenance and charms everyone.
He is the king of kings who is guiding us all the time. He showers his benevolence on all. He is without colour, incomparable and is formless.
He possesses no material things nor has he an army. He is merciful and (grants us) all the pleasures of the heavens.
The Pure one is above everything in this universe. His glory is all pervasive. He bestows us with gifts. He is right before us all the time.
The merciful grants us all the gifts and meets the needs of every one in this world
He is the greatest Lord of this universe. He is merciful and provides sustenance to all. His charm and grandeur cannot be matched by anyone.
The Lord Almighty is intelligence personified. He protects the poor and the helpless and destroys their enemies.
The Virtuous One is the protector of the faithful. Nothing is hidden from Him. He is the inspiration of Koran.
He is the Lord of the Universe who knows every thing .He seeks the learned, intelligent and truthful. He is present everywhere.
He has the knowledge of everything in this universe. Every thing is being kept in its place by His presence.
Being the ultimate authority, He is regulating everything that happens in this world about which He has full knowledge.
I have no trust in this oath (of Aurangzeb) anymore (You have written that) God is one and that he is witness (between us. Guruji also refers to this oath in verses 45&46)
I don’t have trust in you even equivalent to a drop (of water). Your army general and advisor (who came to me with your oaths on Koran) were all telling lies.
If anyone trusts (you) on oath of Koran, that person is doomed in the end.
If anyone comes under the shadow of Human bird (for protection), even a brave crow cannot come near him. (Aurangzeb! I am under the protection of Waheguru Himself, who saved me and you could not even touch my single hair verse 44).
If a man stands behind the back of a lion, let alone (anyone) catching that person, a goat or a sheep or a deer cannot even pass nearby (Aurangzeb! I stand in shadow of the Almighty, and your men who are like goats, sheep and deer could not catch me in spite of your deceptions)
If I had cheated by taking oath on Koran, I would not have made my dear (Khalsa) army lame (by bringing them out of Anandpur Sahib Fort and exposing them to an unequal battle). In verses from 19 to 41 below, Guruji gives an account of the Battle of Chamkaur fought on 22 December 1704 and the reasons that forced him to take to the sword
What could forty hungry persons do, when suddenly ten lakh strong army came upon them? (Here ten lakh has been used in a poetic sense and means “huge numbers “, as Guruji has again referred to the number of enemy forces as “beshumaar” in verse 41)
That the promise breakers launched a surprise attack with their swords and arrows and guns.
It was out of sheer helplessness that I came in the battle field (since I was surrounded from all sides at Chamkaur). But having decided to battle with your forces, I came with all the battle plans and munitions.
When the entire stratagem employed for (solving) an affair or problem are exhausted, (only) then taking your hand to the sword is legitimate.
What trust can I have on your oath (you took on Koran)? Otherwise you tell what I have to do by taking this path (of disbelieving you).
I do not know that this person (Aurangzeb) is cunning like a fox. Otherwise I would never have come to this place i.e. Chamkaur (by vacating Anandpur on the false oaths of Aurangzeb and his men).
If any person believes one’s oath on Koran, he should neither be attacked nor tied (arrested) nor be killed. (Aurangzeb! I believed your oath on Koran that if I leave Anandpur, you would give me safe passage. You still attacked and broke your oath).

They (the enemy) dressed in black and like colored flies came suddenly with a great uproar.
Any person, who came out from behind the wall, took one arrow (on his body) and was submerged in blood.
Any person who did not come out from (behind) that wall, he did take an arrow and (hence) did not become miserable (die).
When I saw that Nahar had come out from behind the wall for battle, he was immediately struck with an arrow.
Many Afghans who used to tell tall stories (about their bravery) also ran away from the battlefield.
That large number of other Afghans came for the battle like a flood with arrows and guns.
They launched many a brave attacks. (However) some of these were intelligently launched and some were sheer madness.
They launched many attacks and they took many wounds upon themselves. They killed two (of my) men and also gave their own lives as well.
That coward Khawaja (One of the Mughal generals) hid himself being the wall and did not come out in the battlefield like a brave man.
Alas! If I had seen his (Khawaja’s) face, I would have sent him to the other world just with one arrow.
In the end many from both sides were killed quickly after being wounded by arrows and (bullets of) guns.
Many arrows and (bullets of) guns rained and the battlefield turned red (with blood) like the red colored laaleh flowers.
The battlefield was full of (severed) heads and legs, which gave the impression as if these were balls and sticks.
The shooting of arrows and vibrations of the strings of bows produced huge commotions. And cries of “hai-hu” were coming from the whole world.
And the dreadful noises of weapons had their affect on the bravest of brave men who gave the impression as if they had lost their mental balance.
And finally what could the bravery (of my warriors) do when countless (of these Afghans) fell upon those forty men.
When the lamp of the world (the Sun) had covered itself (had set), the king of the night (the Moon) came out with all its glory (through this verse, Guru Ji has described the night scene when he came out of the Chamkaur Garh. Description of some authors that it was dark and raining at that time should be viewed in the light of this verse)
God Almighty becomes the guide of the person who trusts someone’s oath taken on Kuran (Aurangzeb! The Supreme Being in whom I have total faith, showed me the way from Chamkaur even though I trusted your word given on Kuran that you will not attack me if I leave Anand Garh Fort)
And so without a scratch on my body or twist of my hair, He Himself brought me out (of the siege at Chamkaur) after killing the enemy
Aurangzeb! I did not know that you are a perjurer; that you are mere worshipper of wealth and breaker of your faith
You neither have faith in your religion nor do you understand its meaning. You even do not understand the Almighty and you do not firm faith in Him.
Any one who believes in his religion, he does not look here and there (while fulfilling) his own promises
This man (Aurangzeb) can not be trusted even equivalent of a speck and who swears by Koran and says that God is one.
(So now) if you swear hundred times on the Koran, I do not have any trust in you even equivalent of a drop of water (The Master is responding to the third letter of Aurangzeb that he received at Dina village inviting him to meet Aurangzeb. The earlier two letters were received by him at Anandpur)
If you had trust (in your own promise of meeting me), you would have come here (to meet me) and I would have welcomed you
It is incumbent on you now to keep your word (and come and meet me). At that time you had given word in the name of God and had said, “I swear “(to keep your word of coming and meeting me personally)
If your majesty presents yourself here, any activity (undertaken) either by heart or by life will be clarified (whatever has happened will be discussed)
It is your duty to fulfill the task undertaken by you and stick to whatever you have written in your letter.
I have received your communication and also heard your message (through your representative who met me here in Dina). You should complete this work to bring peace and tranquility.
A man should also keep his word. (He should not say) something with his mouth and (have) something else in his stomach.
What your representative has said, I agree with that. If you are truthful, you will yourself come here in the spirit of friendship (This verse shows that Aurangzeb not only had written letter, he had also sent his agent to meet the Master personally for discussions)
Should you want, I can also have the copy of Koran delivered to you, which has the (false) written promises ( i.e.; Guruji will be given safe passage out of Anandpur fort. Important agreements amongst the Moslems were usually written, on oath, on the blank pages in the copy of Koran to give them authenticity)
If your majesty visits Kangar village (where I am staying) then we both can meet each other
(If you decide to come here) there will be no danger to your person at all since the Birad people (of Kangar area) are all under my command.
Aurangzeb! Come here and I will talk to you face to face and this way I will show my compassion for you (by showing you the right path to follow)
(Aurangzeb! you have written to me) to bring one expensive horse whose cost should be one thousand and that in return I can take this territory (of Anandpur. (This verse confirms that Guru Ji had received a letter from Aurangzeb while at Dina where he wrote Zafarnama ) One author has translated this verse conveying a challenge from Guru Ji in that he ( Guru Ji) has a select horse out of 1000 horses and which he will set free and invited Aurangzeb to catch it and hence fight with him to take the area where Guru Ji was residing at that time ie at Dina)
I am the menial servant of the Almighty, and only if His command comes to me, I will present myself personally.
If I get the command of the Almighty, (only then) I will come to you
If you worship the Almighty God, then you will not show any laxity in this affair (i.e.; you will not delay in coming and meeting me)
You should recognize the Lord Almighty and, stop harming and tormenting the people on the advice of others
You are occupying the throne in the name of the Lord of the universe. But strange is your justice and strange are your attributes.
That strange is your justice and strange are the ways of (your) religion. And your lordship? What a pity! It is pitiable hundreds of times.
Strange are your religious proclamations (which are against the shariat). You speak anything but the truth and that will ultimately hurt you.
You are shedding the blood of people without any reason. Remember! Your blood will also be shed by the heavenly sword.
Aurangzeb! Don’t be unaware of the Almighty for He is free from want and does not need any flattery.
Waheguru is the king of kings and no one can be equal to Him. He is the emperor of the universe and true sovereign
He is the master of the earth and the sky. He is the creator of all men and the universe.
He is the creator of (all things from) ants to elephant and (from children) to old men. He is protector of the meek and destroyer of the non-believers
His name means “protector of the meek”. He does not need any self-praise from any quarter nor does He need any material things.
He is without any shape or colour or any form. He is the guide who leads
You have the burden of the Koran’s oath on your head. You should now fulfill all that you have said earlier in a befitting manner
What happened that you have killed four children (my sons) the coiled snake (in the form of my Khalsa) still remains (to confront you).
You should (at this time) show wisdom and handle the task taken up by you skillfully (to visit my place for discussions) what happened that you have killed four children (my sons), the coiled snake (in the form of my Khalsa) still remains (to confront you).
What manliness you have shown by extinguishing a few sparks (sahibzadas). You have made the conflagration brighter and more furious.
How nicely the sweet-tongued poet Firdosi has said that to act in haste is the work of a devil (here the Master is referring to the hasty attack authorized by Aurangzeb against him while at Anandpur fort and on the representation made by the Hill Chieftains and the summary execution of the young Sahibzadas).
When I meet you in the court of the Lord, that day you will become a witness (and answer all the crimes committed by you)
Now you do not overlook this (i.e. to fulfill the word given by you) otherwise the Lord Himself will overlook you also.
If you fulfill this task (and come here), God will grant you prosperity (and overlook your misdeeds)
This act on your part ( of meeting Guru Ji ) will be as per your religion since keeping of word ( given in name of Almighty Himself) is above one’s own life.
I do not know if you believe in the Almighty since you have performed too many deeds that were tyrannical
The bountiful Almighty knows your (evil) deeds well. He does not want you to continue having this great wealth ( Aurangzeb! Your kingdom is coming to an end by the will of Almighty).
Now if you swear a hundred times on Koran, I will not trust you for a moment even equivalent to a single speck
I will not come to your court. Neither will I take the way (that leads to your court). I will go where ever the Almighty wishes me to go. In the following six verses, Guru Ji has even praised Aurangzeb
Aurangzeb, the king of kings is having a cheerful disposition. He is a good swordsman and an agile horseman.
Aurangzeb is beauty personified. He is bright minded i.e.; quick thinker and he is the lord of his kingdom;
Aurangzeb is wise and knowledgeable and is skilful wielder of the sword. He is the provider of all the necessities of the people and lords over the world with his military might.
He is handsome and possesses a brilliant mind. He is bountiful in distributing the riches of his kingdom.
His magnificence is great. In war he is like a mountain. He has the attributes of angels and his splendor matches the Pleiades (“seven sisters” in the constellation Taurus).
Aurangzeb is the king of kings. He is the lord of the world and has all the riches of this age. But he is far from religion.
I am also the annihilator of the hill rajas, the idol worshippers. They are idol worshipers and I am the idol breaker.
Look at the turn of unfaithful world. When it sets itself after some one, it inflicts injury and harm.
Look at the power of the pure and good Lord. His reach is such that He can get ten lakh annihilated by only one.
What can the enemy do to anyone when the Almighty Lord is kind to him? That He is generous and always forgiving.
He gives us guidance all the time and ultimately delivers us from this world. And He lets us sing praises for His benevolence showered on us.
In time of need, He blinds the enemy and takes out the helpless without the slightest injury to them even from a thorn.
Every person who follows the path of truthfulness, the compassionate Almighty always showers mercy on him
Anyone who serves the Almighty with his heart and soul, He showers upon him all the peace and tranquility.
What deception can an enemy inflict on a person who is provided protection personally by the Almighty?
If one lakh strong enemy attacks a single (loved one) person, God protects and does not allow any harm to visit him
You are proud at your military might and all the wealth at your disposal. On the other hand I am looking towards the Almighty to whom I am always grateful.
That you are proud of the strength of your empire and the wealth, while I am under the protection of the Supreme Being
Aurangzeh! Be aware that this world is like an inn where each person comes to stay just eight days. And once his time is over, he yields his place to others.
Look at the unfaithfulness of the world that everyone is crossing the house of others without any restriction i.e. forcibly snatching other’s possessions
Aurangzeb! Stop using your force to torment and maiming (the innocents). Do not oppress these hapless people on (false) oaths.
What can the enemy do even if he sends hundreds of men when the God Almighty is one’s friend?
If the enemy brings thousands of his men against an individual, (who has the protection of the Lord) not even the slightest harm will visit him

apninder sat gur, sat gur, naam dhiyaa baithi
