Baje Jaanga Neesaan Kathe Katheeraan ॥

ਫਿਰੈ ਰੁੰਡ ਮੁਡੰ ਤਨੰ ਤਛ ਤੀਰੰ ॥੨੭॥

Phrii Ruaanda Mudaan Tanaan Tachha Teeraan ॥27॥

The trumpets resound in the field and the minstrels sing their heroic ballads, the bodies are pierced by arrows and the headless trunks are moving in the field. 27

The warriors, in great fury, are showering volleys of arrows

ਬਹੇ ਜਾਹਿ ਖਾਲੀ ਫਿਰੈ ਛੂਛ ਤਾਜੀ ॥੨੯॥

Bahe Jaahi Khaalee Phrii Chhoochha Taajee ॥29॥

Some arrows miss the targets and on account of some arrows, the horses are seen roaming without the riders.29.

ਜੁਟੇ ਆਪ ਮੈ ਬੀਰ ਬੀਰੰ ਜੁਝਾਰੇ ॥

Jutte Aapa Mai Beera Beeraan Jujhaare ॥

ਮਨੋ ਗਜ ਜੁਟੈ ਦੰਤਾਰੇ ਦੰਤਾਰੇ ॥

Mano Gaja Juttai Daantaare Daantaare ॥

The brave warriors fighting with each other appear like the elephants with tusks fighting mutually,

ਕਿਧੋ ਸਿੰਘ ਸੋ ਸਾਰਦੂਲੰ ਅਰੁਝੇ ॥

Kidho Siaangha So Saaradoolaan Arujhe ॥

ਤਿਸੀ ਭਾਂਤਿ ਕਿਰਪਾਲ ਗੋਪਾਲ ਜੁਝੇ ॥੩੦॥

Tisee Bhaanti Kripaala Gopaala Jujhe ॥30॥

Or the tiger confronting the tiger. In a similar manner, Gopal Chand Guleria is fighting with Kirpal Chand (the ally of Hussaini).30.

Bado Judha Kai Dev Lokaan Padhaare ॥31॥

In great rage, he killed many soldiers and after a great fight departed for the heavenly abode.31.

ਹਠਿਯੋ ਹਿਮਤੰ ਕਿੰਮਤੰ ਲੈ ਕ੍ਰਿਪਾਨੰ ॥

Hatthiyo Himataan Kiaanmataan Lai Kripaanaan ॥

ਲਏ ਗੁਰਜ ਚਲੰ ਸੁ ਜਲਾਲ ਖਾਨੰ ॥
