Some excerpts from the Poem ਬਾਬੇ ਬਿਰਧ ਦੀਪ ਸਿੰਘ ਨੇ, ਮਾਲਵਿਉਂ ਗੱਭਰੂ ਲਿਆਂਦੇ ਚੁਣਕੇ । ਜਿਵੇਂ ਸਰਪ ਬੀਨ ਤੇ ਜੀ, ਮੇਲ੍ਹਦੇ ਸ਼ਬਦ ਚੌਂਕੀਆਂ ਸੁਣਕੇ । ਨਾ ਡਰਦਾ ਮਰਨੇ ਤੋਂ, ਸੂਰਮਾ ਦਾਦਾ ਬਹਾਦਰ ਨਾਨਾ । ਸੋਂਹਦੇ ਕਫ਼ਨ ਸ਼ਹੀਦਾਂ ਦੇ, ਚਮਕੀਆਂ ਬਿਜਲੀ ਵਾਂਗ ਕਰਪਾਨਾਂ । .... ਕਹੇ ਬਾਬਾ ਦੀਪ ਸਿੰਘ ਜੀ, ਗੁਰੂ ਦੀ ਸੈਨਾ, ਹੁਕਮ ਮੰਨ ਲੈਣਾ, ਲੜਾਕੀ ਨਸਲੇ, ਪਰਖਣੇ ਅਸਲੇ, ਅਣਖ ਦਿਓ ਭਰਿਓ, ਕਟਾਰਾਂ ਚੱਕ ਲੋ । ਫਿਰੇ ਡਾਰ ਹਰਨੀਆਂ ਦੀ, ਬਾਘ ਵਿਚ ਖੀਰੇ, ਹਰਨ ਵਿਚ ਹੀਰੇ, ਬਘਿਆੜੋ ਹੱਕ ਲੋ । ਵਾਜੇ ਵਜਦੇ ਮੌਤ ਦੇ ਜੀ, ਕਾਹਦੀਆਂ ਦੇਰਾਂ, ਕਢਾ ਦਿਓ ਲੇਰਾਂ, ਜੰਗਾਂ ਵਿਚ ਨਿਤਰਿਓ, ਮਾਂ ਦਿਓ ਚਿਤਰਿਓ, ਮਾਸ ਦਿਓ ਭੁਖਿਓ, ਸੁਤੇ ਪੱਟ ਅੱਖ ਲਿਓ । ਆ ਗਿਆ ਵਕਤ ਸ਼ਹੀਦੀ ਦਾ, ਕਈਆਂ ਨੂੰ ਵੱਢ ਕੇ, ਜਾਨ ਨੂੰ ਕੱਢ ਕੇ, ਤਲੀ ਤੇ ਰੱਖ ਲਿਓ । To Read the entire poem on 'Martyrdom of Baba Deep Singh Ji Shaheed', Please click the download button below: DOWNLOAD PDF   Read the full article
