The Zafarnama, or "Epistle of Victory," is a powerful poetic letter written in Persian by Guru Gobind Singh, the tenth Sikh Guru. This historic document was addressed to the Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb in 1705, following the Battle of Chamkaur.

This translation of the Zafarnama in Hindi by Veteran Wing Commander Vijay Chattur presents a direct and compelling account of the Guru's spiritual and moral victory over the Emperor. It is not merely a letter of grievance, but a profound work of philosophy and ethics that indicts Aurangzeb for his broken promises and tyrannical rule.

The text begins with a magnificent praise of God and proceeds to recount the events of the Battle of Chamkaur, where Guru Gobind Singh and his forty soldiers fought against an overwhelming Mughal army after being promised safe passage. In 111 powerful verses, the Guru confronts the emperor, exposing his hypocrisy and moral bankruptcy while upholding the principles of truth, justice, and righteousness. This book is an essential read for anyone interested in Sikh history, the life of Guru Gobind Singh, and the enduring power of faith and courage in the face of tyranny.
