Fatehnama

Besides the Zafarnama, there is another work of Guru Gobind Singh Ji in Persian language known as "Fatehnama" also meaning a "letter of victory". There are 24 verses of this letter. Here again there is difference of opinion amongst scholars. Some opine that this letter was sent before the Zafarnama while according to some, this is in fact a part of Zafanama itself. The latter have started the Zafarnama with the 24 verses of Fatehnama; first verse of traditional Zafarnama becoming verse 25 in such compositions (Zafarnama by Nanak Chand Naaz).
