Chhote Sahibzade’s Pictorial |
|
The wall went up still higher and it was shoulder high. Sahibzada Zorawar Singh said to his younger brother, They are putting us to test. They do not know that the Sikhs of Guru Nanak are fearless. Our Fifth Guru Arjun Dev faced martyrdom cheerfully on burning iron pans. Whereas he guided humanity to the path of a truthful and noble life, he also set an example of facing death boldly and with full faith in God. |
The executioners became nervous and consulted each other. They are now nearing their end. There is no need to raise the wall further. Why not cut short by beheading them? It is already getting dark. The wall was pulled down. They brought the unconscious Sahibzadas out laid them flat on the ground and, in an instant, martyred them. People in the crowd were shocked at this ghastly act. They sighed in dismay, What cruelty! How shall they answer for their crime in Mohammad’s Court. |
