	Zafarnama
		Guru Ji has devoted 34 verses of Zafarnama in praise of God, 20 verses describe the battle of Chamkaur, 15 verses convey rebuke to Aurangzeb for breaking oath by him and by his agents, 36 refer to his shortcomings as a just ruler and his invitations to Guru Ji for discussions.
		The Zafarnama in the present form is the versified form of this diplomatic communication by Bhai Nand Lal who was a great scholar of Persian language (Life of Guru Gobind Singh Ji by Dalip Sing).
		The layout of the translation is as follows: each verse of Zafarnama and Fatehnama appears in Gurumkhi, Persian and Roman scripts, followed by the meaning of each word in English and finally the meaning of the entire verse in English (in bold letters).

	The Tribune - Windows - This Above All
		Less noticed but those that deserved attention were translations of Guru Gobind Singh’s Akal Ustat (Praise of the Immortal) and Zafarnama (epistle of Victory) composed in Persian and addressed to Emperor Aurangzeb by Darshan Singh, former diplomat who retired from the IFS a couple of years ago.
		Darshan Singh, born a Hindu, is an example of the tradition followed by the many Punjabi Hindu families of bringing up their eldest son as a Khalsa Singh.
		Zafarnama is of considerable historical and literary interest.

	Hikayats
		The last section of the Dasam Granth, after the Zafarnama, are the Hikayats which are in the Persian language.
		The Hikayats should probably follow Triya Charitar for they are much the same, and for the most part, Persian translations of the Triya Charitar.
		In the Dasam Granth, the Zafarnama is numbered one and the last story twelve, making them all parts of the Zafarnama and keeping the Persian section as a unit.

	Zafarnama falls short of Daman's calibre
		Nevertheless the saving grace of today's play, `Zafarnama', turned out to be Daman's son Ripudaman, though he had a very brief role as that of Daya Singh, the carrier of the letter from Guru Gobind Singh to Aurangzeb.
		It was the last of the programmes organised by the Punjab Sangeet Natak Academy to usher in the tercentenary year of Sikhism as the previous evenings had seen musical programmes.
		`Zafarnama', written by Charanjit Singh, centres around the realisation that dawned on Aurangzeb about the cruelties unleashed on the Sikhs by his deputies in Punjab culminating in the killing of the Guru's two sons.
