Poem: Bhai Bachittar Singh's fight with Elephant


In the realm of courage, where legends take their flight,

Bhai Bachittar Singh, a warrior shining bright,

Faced a drunken elephant, a colossal, fearsome might,

With his trusty nagni barcha, he entered the fight.


The Mughal's mighty beast, in a drunken, raging spree,

Charged with fury, a force none could foresee,

But Bhai Bachittar Singh, with heart so bold and free,

Stood unwavering, a Sikh of Guru's decree.


With nagni barcha in hand, he faced the immense,

A spear so resolute, a symbol of defense,

In the Guru's name, he'd never recompense,

A fearless warrior, in his sacred recompense.


The wounded elephant, in pain and retreat,

Crushed the Mughals beneath his colossal feet,

Bhai Bachittar Singh's valor, a victory sweet,

In the name of justice, his foes faced defeat.


In the annals of Sikh history, his legend does gleam,

A symbol of courage, in a perilous dream,

Bhai Bachittar Singh, in valor supreme,

A warrior of the Guru, a radiant beam.


With nagni barcha in hand, his name we'll repeat,

A fearless defender, in battles so fleet,

Bhai Bachittar Singh Ji, your bravery so sweet,

In Sikhism's legacy, your story is complete
