"Chun kar az hameh heelate dar guzasht,
Halal ast burden bi-shamsher dast".

This verse is a part of which work by Guru Gobind Singh ji ?

  • A.Chandi di vaar
  • B.Zafarnama
  • C.Bichitra natak
  • D.Jaap sahib

Answer: B

The verse is from the Zafarnama.

The Zafarnama (Epistle of Victory) is the letter in Persian verse that Guru Gobind Singh wrote to Emperor Aurangzeb in 1705, after the siege of Anandpur and the battle of Chamkaur. It reproaches the emperor for the broken oaths of his commanders. This couplet is its most quoted line: when all other means have failed, it is righteous to take the sword in hand.

The other works are by the Guru but in other languages and forms: Chandi di Vaar is a Punjabi ballad of the goddess's battles, Bachittar Natak an autobiographical account in Braj, and Jaap Sahib a hymn of praise recited daily. None is written in Persian.
