Maan Yog Gurmukh Singh ji,WJKK WJKF !

5th guru's first shabad quoated in the article does not glorify Nihang. Here is the translation of the complete Shabad :-

Aasaa, Fifth Mehl:Pg 391-19

Becoming a king, the mortal wields his royal authority;
oppressing the people, he gathers wealth.
Gathering it and collecting it, he fills his bags.
But God takes it away from him, and gives it to another. ||1||
The mortal is like an unbaked clay pot in water;
indulging in pride and egotism, he crumbles down and dissolves.  ||1||Pause||
Being fearless, he becomes unrestrained/stuburn/ostinate/Defiant.
He does not think of the Creator, who is ever with him.
He raises armies, and collects arms.
But when the breath leaves him, he turns to ashes. ||2||
He has lofty palaces, mansions and queens,
elephants and pairs of horses, delighting the mind;
he is blessed with a great family of sons and daughters.
But, engrossed in attachment, the blind fool wastes away to death.  ||3||
The One who created him destroys him.
Enjoyments and pleasures are like just a dream.
He alone is liberated, and possesses regal power and wealth,
O Nanak, whom the Lord Master blesses with His Mercy. ||4||35||86||
