Guru Killed A Maneater

Around Paonta sahib, on the bank of Jamuna

There lived a troublesome man-eater old lion 

Terrified local people approached Gobind Rai

And asked him to save them from the lion

One fine day Gobind Rai set out for hunting

Along with Raja Medni Prakask of Nahan, Raja Fateh Shah of Kehlur, and many other men.

They reached the den of a lion in a dense forest

Guru Challenged the lion to come out.

Not wanting to risk any of his Sikhs

Guru Gobind Rai himself killed the lion

The tree where Guru stood is still there

When the lion leaped on Guru sahib

He put the shield against his forepaws

And briskly attacked it with the sword

To cut it into two pieces from its torso

Everyone was astonished at his bravery, 

Accuracy, strength, and quickness of action

At this place is now a gurdwara Shergah

With a historical tree, a mute testimony

Paonta Sahib is in the Sirmaur district which is 

Hilly area of Himachal Pradesh and the 

Gurdwara Shergah is in the village Nihalgarh about six kilometers from Paonta sahib
