The Greatest Escape

According to the Purandar pact

Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj

Had reached Agra fort along

With nine-year-old son Sambhaji

And five hundred strong guards,

Was ignored in the court

By Aurangjeb, insulted Maharaj

Misbehaved, house arrested for three months

Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj had

Successfully used many tricks,

To overcome, mislead the enemies,

As per preplan, application to release

The guards were made to the emperor

The modest request was immediately solicited

Again Maharaj pretended that

He was sick, wanted to send

Sweet, fruit boxes to the mosques

Temples to seek the divine blessings

After the permission, the boxes duly

Checked were allowed to send out

Taking advantage of the lethargic

The attitude of the guards, Shivaji Maharaj,

Samabhaji, later Hiroji Madari were escaped

All others were already left unhurt

There are many theories, views

Without proof regarding the escape

And the reaching of Chattrapati Shivaji

Maharaj to Rajgad, but there won’t

Be any controversy about Maharaj

Making the greatest escape amazing the world
