GURU NANAK CHAMATKAR PART - II 277
and his courtiers were enthralled. When the song finished, Babar said that this
saint is an image of the Lord and it is written that Babar kissed the Guru's feet
and all Mughal courtiers bowed to him.
Babcir said: 0 beloved of the Lord, you forhrive me and accept some hrift
from me.
Then the ocean of forhJiveness and mercy said: I have no desires. If you
wish to give a hJift, then you release these prisoners and return their belonhrings.
Babar, immediately, released all the prisoners and returned their belonhJings.
But they said that our saviour should accompany us. Then with great respect
he asked the Guru to accompany the released prisoners. He allowed the
prisoners to go to their homes. He lifted the blockade ofthe town and ordered
that no troops should harass anybody. They are freed now.
Now, the bestowal offreedom, who himselfwent into captivity and got the
prisoners freed, came to the city along with the freed prisoners. Here again he
saw dead bodies and blood spilled all over.
It became known all around that the beloved Guru Nanak has got the
prisoners freed in Saidpur. This news spread in no time. The people who had
run away from Saidpur returned. People cried and wailed for the dead relatives
and in suffering of their houses destructed and looted. Those, who came back
after release from the barbarous troops met each other with extreme warmth.
People started cremating or burying the dead and started life afresh with
whatever was left.
Now, the Guru came to know that there were still many people in Babar's
captivity. The troops of Babar are still taking people as prisoners. The troops
have taken many beautiful women as prisoners. Many people from the
neighbouring areas are still in captivity. They have been detained at a distant
place. Some people whom the families thought have died or killed are still
living but in captivity and they are being put to hard labor. The benevolent
Guru again went towards Babar's camp and again sang a divine song.
When the heart-piercing melody went into Babar's ears, then he sent for
the Guru and made him sit with great respect and asked what is it that you are
singing? When he unde'rstood the meanings of the words, then he felt ashamed
and became humble and offered hashish to the Guru.
