Guru Nanak Prakash -6
At the time of Babur's carnage in Saidpur Guru Nanak along with his companion Mardana was present there. They were arrested and jailed there and forced to grind grain to make food for the soldiers. Guru Nanak was on his mission in search of truth. His missions are called Udasi in Sikh panth. Because of his fakiri chola he was spared death. Guru Arjun ji has documented all the poetry written during that period in Guru Granth Sahibji so this makes it a very authentic historical documentation. When he saw such naked violence in such a short period where thousands were killed, captured and exploited for no fault of the sufferer the Poet in him says;" where are those sports, those horses and those stables? where are those bugles and clarions? where are those who buckeld on their swords and were mighty in battles?" Even while he was contemplating on the reasons for this naked violence he still doesn't forget to admonish the Almighty for the happening of such terror. In one of his verse in GG.page 360 he asks God:" Khurasan khasmana kaya Hindustan daraya ll appe dosh na deyin Karta jam kar Mogul charaya ll eti maar pai kurlane tain ki dard na aiya ll1ll Meaning: Having conquered Khurasan, Babur has terrified Hindustan. The creator does not take any blame on Himself and has sent the Mogul as death's messenger. So much terror was inflicted upon people, O God didn't you feel any compassion?
