TRIBHANGI STANZA

ਸਾਇਕ ਜਣੁ ਛੂਟੇ ਤਿਮ ਅਰਿ ਜੂਟੇ ਬਖਤਰ ਫੂਟੇ ਜੇਬ ਜਿਰੇ ॥

saaeik jan chhootte tim ar jootte bakhatar footte jeb jire |

As soon as the arrows are discharged, the enemies in still greather numbers gather and prepare to fight even with the shattered armour

ਮਸਹਰ ਭੁਖਿਆਏ ਤਿਮੁ ਅਰਿ ਧਾਏ ਸਸਤ੍ਰ ਨਚਾਇਨ ਫੇਰਿ ਫਿਰੇਾਂ ॥

masahar bhukhiaae tim ar dhaae sasatr nachaaein fer fireaan |

They move forward and run like a hungry person here and there they are roaming hither and thither, striking their weapons.

ਸਨਮੁਖਿ ਰਣ ਗਾਜੈਂ ਕਿਮਹੂੰ ਨ ਭਾਜੈਂ ਲਖ ਸੁਰ ਲਾਜੈਂ ਰਣ ਰੰਗੰ ॥

sanamukh ran gaajain kimahoon na bhaajain lakh sur laajain ran rangan |

They fight face to face and don not run away seeing them waging war even the gods feel shy.

ਜੈ ਜੈ ਧੁਨ ਕਰਹੀ ਪੁਹਪਨ ਡਰਹੀ ਸੁ ਬਿਧਿ ਉਚਰਹੀ ਜੈ ਜੰਗੰ ॥੫੯੯॥

jai jai dhun karahee puhapan ddarahee su bidh ucharahee jai jangan |599|

The gods seeing the terrible war shower flowers with the sound of ‘hail, hail they also hail the fight in the war arena.599.
