Anglo-Sikh wars of mid 19th century have given birth to a large number of ballads and narrative poems and panegyrics about the heroic deeds of veteran Sikh warriors and betrayal by Dogra Sikh generals and collapse of Sikh empire. Shah Mohammad's composition is considered to be the supreme composition in this genre. It has become an immortal creation and literary landmark in Punjabi poetry. This edited version of this composition is a valuable addition to Punjabi literature.[edit]
