The Guru also talks of cowardice of one of the Mughal generals and how he hid himself behind a wall, not having the courage to face the Guru. The Mughals and Hindu chieftains had offered Guru Sahib a safe passage to leave Anandpur Sahib on an oath sworn on the Quran that had been signed by emperor Aurangzeb and an oath on the cow which Hindus consider as sacred by the hill chieftains.
However, their oaths were meaningless as they betrayed Guru Sahib. I have no trust in your oaths anymore. You have written that God is one and that He is witness between us. They were all telling lies. In the early hours of the morning at the river Sirsa, the Guru and his Sikhs were attacked by the Mughal army under the command of Wazir Khan, breaking their oath of assuring safe conduct. In the confusion, which followed the attack in the cold and darkness, many Sikhs became Shaheed martyrs.
Many Sikhs perished in crossing the cold river and were swept away by the swift current. Of the hundred that had left Anandpur only the Guru, his two eldest sons and 40 Sikhs were able to cross the river and regroup on the other side.
Bhai Budhi Chand who owned a Haveli open house in the town of Chamkaur visited Guru Sahib and offered the services of his home and family at the feet of the Guru. The Haveli with its high perimeter mud brick wall now became the fort of Guru Sahib. What an amazing warrior-saint Guru was! An army of around was pursuing Guru Sahib and planning to attack the place where they were staying, and yet Guru Sahib was still blissfully continuing his daily discipline of meditation, Nitnem and Kirtan, with his Singhs.
If you and your Sikhs come out now, you will be spared! There was silence now in the cold morning. Clouds filled the sky followed by thunder and lightening. Guru and the Singhs became ready for the battle. Preparing for Battle. In the chilly hours before sunrise a Mughal messenger came to negotiate with the Sikhs. However, Guru Sahib told the messenger to go away or face death. Inside the four walls of the mud-house Guru Sahib declared war. The Nawab was astonished at what these Singhs were made of.
Despite the overwhelming odds the Sikhs inflicted tremendous losses on the Mughals but eventually one by one they were fatally wounded and departed to join Waheguru. Guru Gobind Singh hugged his beloved son and gave him a Shastr weapon. Every father wants to see his child get married, but this was the time of fighting the enemy and defending the path of righteousness.
But, that day death was waiting and Baba Ajit Singh would be marrying death. The sun was about to rise. Guru saw that Nawab Wazir Khan intended to seize the fort of Chamkaur in one attempt. The Nawab surrounded the fort with his armies.
At this time the Singhs made a benti request to Guru Sahib that since there was no means of escaping the siege, he should escape with the Sahibzade.
However Guru Sahib told them that there is no difference between the Singhs and the Sahibzade. We will be victorious and we will all be free. Baba Ajit Singh boldly and valiantly came out of fort, accompanied with 5 other Singhs, which included one of the original Panj Piarey, Bhai Mohkam Singh.
Guru watched the battle scene from the top of the fort. There was silence on all four sides. Today the 5 Singhs felt proud that under the leadership of Baba Ajit Singh , they had been blessed with an opportunity to fight on the side of the truth and the correct path of Guru Nanak. Baba Ajit Singh with the five Sikhs advanced swiftly onto the battlefield displaying his great courage, bravery and skills with weapons.
The enemy was immediately repulsed and many of the soldiers of thetreacherously deceitful Mughal and Hill forces met their deaths. Such was the fury of the Sikh contingent and the dedicated, continuous and precise support from the haveli-fortress that this small Sikh party of 6 bahadurs brave men of the Khalsa eliminated hundreds of brave enemy soldiers.
