Baba Sahib Singh Bedi Mounting up for Battle ਜੁਗਲ ਸੁ ਜਾਂਮ ਬਜੈ ਦਿਨ ਆਯੋ । ਸ੍ਰੀ ਕਮਲਾਨਨ ਅਮਲ ਮੰਗਾਯ । When the second quarter of the day arrived *around noon*, the Exalted Lotus-faced Sahib Singh Bedi requested his intoxicants. ਛਕਿ ਅਮਲੰ ਗੁਰ ਕਰਾ ਸੁਚੇਤਾ । ਤੁਰਕਨ ਕੁਲ ਕੋ ਕਰ ਹੈ ਰੇਤਾ । Consuming intoxicants the Guru's *descendant Sahib Singh Bedi* perked up with awareness, desiring to transform the lineage of the Turks into sand. ਅਨੂਠਿ ਪਾਗ ਬਾਧ ਸੁਖਦਾਈ । ਜਿਗਾ ਸੁ ਕਲਗੀ ਬਹੁ ਚਮਕਾਈ । Tying a marvelous turban, *which on top* was a tiara and plume, sparkling so gloriously. ਕੜੇ ਜੜਾਉ ਕਰ ਮੋ ਸੋਹੈ । ਨਵ ਰਤਨੇ ਭੁਜ ਮਨ ਮਖ ਮੋਹੈ । His bracelets around his wrists were embedded with jewels looking beautiful, around his arms his jewelry enticed everyone's mind. ਚੰਦ੍ਰਹਾਸ ਗੁਰ ਗਰ ਸੋ ਪਾਈ । ਕਰ ਮੋ ਬਰਛੀ ਬਹੁ ਛਬ ਛਾਹੀ । The Guru's *descendent Sahib Singh Bedi* had a sword, glistening like the moon, strapped around his torso, in his hand a spear, which spread such splendor. ਕਟ ਤੁਨੀਰ ਕਾਂਧੇ ਧਨੁਖ ਚੀਨਾ ਹੈ ਮੰਗਵਾਇ । Strapped around his waist, a quiver, around his shoulder a bow, he requested for his battle-standard. ਸ੍ਰੀ ਗੁਰ ਨਾਨਕ ਨਾਮੁ ਲੈ ਭੇ ਸਵਾਰ ਹਰਖਾਇ । Taking the name of the Exalted Guru Nanak, he mounted up with great pleasure.
