Known as the Letter of Victory, Zafarnama was written in Persian by Guru Gobind Singh as a letter of defiance and delivered to the Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb in 1707.
It was composed by Guru Gobind Singh in one of the darkest times for the Sikhs In the ZafarNama, Guru Gobind Singh rebukes Aurangzeb for his weaknesses as a human being and for his excesses as a leader. Guru Gobind Singh also confirms his confidence and his unflinching faith in the Almighty even after suffering the extreme personal loss of his father, mother, all four of his sons, and many fellow Sikhs to Aurangzeb's tyranny. Guru Sahib ji wrote that "O Aurangzeb! You have refused to swear by Quran & have become dishonest. By swearing by God & denying it, it is evident that you have no love or fear of Allah, nor do you believe in His existence. You have oppressed innocent people& will have to give an account of those sins in God's dargah. You killed my four sons & many Sikhs But remember, my brave Khalsa is still alive, who will not let you live & this oppression of yours will destroy the state." Guru Sahib conveyed, in spite of losing most of his Sikhs in this attack, he had won a moral victory over the Emperor who had broken his vows to Allah. He also states that despite sending a huge army to capture or kill the Guru, the Mughal forces did not succeed in their mission. After reading ZafarNama, all sins committed came before Aurangzeb & he repented a lot & started shedding tears.
