ੴ स्री वाहिगुरू जी की फतह ॥
स्री मुखवाक पातिशाही १०॥

जो कछु लेख लिखिओ बिधना सोई पाईयत मिसर जू शोक निवारो ॥
मेरो कछू अपराध नही गयो याद ते भूल नह कोपु चितारो ॥
बागो निहाली पठै दैहो आजु भले तुम को निसचै जीअ धारो ॥
छ्त्री सभै क्रित बि्पन के इनहूं पै कटाछ क्रिपा कै निहारो ॥१॥
जु्ध जिते इन ही के प्रसादि इन ही के प्रसादि सु दान करे ॥
अघ अउघ टरै इन ही के प्रसादि इन ही क्रिपा फुन धाम भरे ॥
इन ही के प्रसादि सु बि्दिआ लई इन ही की क्रिपा सभ श्त्रु मरे ॥
इन ही की क्रिपा के सजे हम हैं नही मोसो गरीब करोर परे ॥२॥
सेव करी इन ही की भावत अउर की सेव सुहात न जीको ॥
दान दयो इन ही को भलो अरु आन को दान न लागत नीको ॥
आगै फलै इन ही को दयो जग मै जसु अउर दयो सभ फीको ॥
मो ग्रहि मै मन ते तन ते सिर लउ धन है सभ ही इन ही को ॥३॥

चटपटाइ चित मै जरयो त्रिण जयों क्रु्धत होइ ॥
खोज रोज के हेत लग दयो मिसर जू रोइ ॥४॥

History

At Kapal Mochan, Guru Gobind Singh gave robes of honour(Siropa) to warriors who fought in Battle of Bhangani and other Sikhs. There was a traditional way of giving honor to Brahmin before giving to others. When Guru gobind Singh started giving honours, he mistakenely forget to give it to Head Brahmin at Kapal Mochan. Brahmin became anxious that Guru Gobind Singh did insult of him by not giving robes of honour to him.

When Guru Gobind Singh saw and found that brahmin is mayoos and angry then Guru Gobind Singh said to Brahmin that he was not get ignored knowingly as the same work of Brahmin is done by Sikh warriors who faught in Battle of Bhangani. So for Guru Ji they are head of Brahmins because where they fight like warriors there they also learn and preach Vedmat=Gyanmat=Gurmat.

Guru Gobind Singh also anounced that he is fond of giving donations to these warriors only because only these Khalsa warriors values the given donations and use it appropriately for bestwill of society. He also conveyed Hindu brahmin that just to create Khalsa Panth he had taken form in Patna rather many of lowly are there in Sachkhand like him.

When brahmin heard all this he first became angry and when he searched on his preaching and discovered that it is fact that Brahmin have left the works of Brahmins and these Kashatriya-Brahmins (Sant Sipahi) Khalsa has taken his seat.
