Muhammed Babur”.

dead bodies, women crying and houses destroyed. These were caused by Babur. On the way,

Babur’s two soldiers caught Guru Nanak and his men and put them all in jail.

Guru Nanak started singing hymns. All the people were shocked to see grinding stones moving

on their own. Babur heard the songs sung by Guru Nanak. Babur said “Bring that old man here.

His song touches my heart”.When the soldiers brought Guru Nanak before Babur, Babur said “Old man, do you want

something to eat?”.

Guru Nanak said “No, My hunger is satisfied by God”.

Babur asked “What can I do for you?”

Guru Nanak replied “Do whatever the people want. An emperor should not be proud or cruel”

Babur did all the things Guru Nanak told him. At last, Babur asked “Old man, will I become the



emperor of India?”.

Guru Nanak said “Yes you will become the emperor of India”.

Babur respected Guru Nanak and Guru Nanak went on his way to Maruda.
